The idiots in this crowd love it. Muslims like Barack Obama don't have wives and kids and such.

Just to be clear for the NeoGAF members who may be confused by contemporary Republicans: when you see Republicans that are genuinely upset and offended at being characterized as bigots and whatever, it is because they are/identify with people like Pence here.

Dumbass intellectuals.
Pence says “I’m a Christian, a conservative and a Republican in that order.”
He says he never thought he’d be standing there. “Yet there I was, a few days ago in New York City, with the man who won 37 states.”
Pence doesn’t mention how Trump flew him to New York then left him in limbo for a day while he decided whether to dump him.

I think the only one with their political career intact in 2020 will honestly be Ted Cruz. Marco Rubio should have the stones that Cruz just displayed if he wanted another shot at it, and reforming the party in 2020.

Well, unlike Trump, I'm fully convinced he's human.

Ted Cruz is a principled conservative who advocates the Reagan agenda. Proud to be voting for @tedcruz.
Love it.

Keep telling us a vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for a third Obama term. Many of us wouldn't mind that one bit.

Pence is the worst enemy to the same LGBTQ community the RNC tried to shmooze tonight.

Cruz accomplished what he set out to do. None of these other speakers can get out from under the shadow of that, Eric was closest but Newt and Pence just can't energize the crowd much at all.
That's the point - he namechecked MLK and that makes him "not racist" in the eyes of the Republican base.

Who knew there would be consequences to letting guy whose wife you insulted and dad you tied to JFK assassination speak at your convention?

Getting a 'yes', or in the case applause, from someone is one of the basic rules of sales. The GOP doesn't have a good product to sell but they want you to support them anyway so they repeat bullshit lines about freedom and their parents working hard and shit so people will clap.

Oh no doubt. They all are. But they are from places like Indiana where they never actually face an opportunity to see their bigotry in action so they think it doesn't exist. They don't see the consequences of their actions. They are evil in that special way only folksy, wholesome small-town people can be.
This is like the most traditional speech of all the speeches so far.
