This is a HUGE part of the country. Not us here, in but many other places, people look at the Democratic platform and the people who believe in it as completely foreign.

She has to be there tomorrow night on stage after Trump's speech... allegedly
Holy shit.
Hahahahahahaha. Oh man, the range of expressions from left to right. Sensational.

Trump is already at the hotel.
Man, tonight was going ok, and then suddenly it turned into a huuuge train wreck. I can't believe I'm going to say it, but night two was the best thus far, and that had an avocado farmer as the keynote speaker, and damn near empty stands. Still, tonight had the Cruz fiasco, and then on top of that, the screen outage for a half hour.
This whole thing is a train wreck, and it'll be interesting to see the bump it provides with all of the shenanigans. I am curious what Trump's speech is going to be like. The impromptu ones that he gives that is authentic but awful, or the teleprompter speech which is inauthentic and awful. It'll be an interesting watch. So far I'd give the convention a 4/10. 2/10 the first night, 6/10 yesterday, and 4/10 today. We'll see what tomorrow does, but it's not looking good.

GOP is getting the Jon Snow treatment. Deep cutting Ls one after another.
Holy shit.

They are really mad right now.
Sounds like another eventful day for Trump! I'll get to watching those parts of the event.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
She has to publicly embarrass him. He isn't made for a one on one debate. The moderators will hold him down on things and he won't be able to stay silent when policy questions come up.
They won't shift, but moderate Republicans will just stay home. That's Game Over.

Absolutely. We're still waiting on that part of the country to catch up.
I'd be shitfaced through if I had to be the chair of that wreck.

Oh, they're finishing closer to on time tonight? Thank god, I can stop drinking.
This is the biggest thing the convention has had to do to try to prove their GE chances, and it's entirely failed. A generally decent boilerplate VP speech ain't covering up 3 nights of otherwise miserable negativity.

Pop-country is solid.
How can Pence expect to win with that haircut and that face-shape? America won't stand for it.

Yeah but they don't want to. They see nothing wrong with the way they live. We have many problems here, more so than the ones that make the headlines.

I wanted to watch, but I got busy.
On a scale of 1-10, how shit was Pence's speech and the day as a whole?

Hopefully they'll become more socially liberal over time, at least.
I thought Bernie was big with young white people?

Pence's speech was pretty alright considering what he had to work with. Kind of seemed like something out of your standard action movie.
Pence was a 6-7/10. It was a standard republican speech, that went too long but didn't embarrass anyone.
Tonight was a 3-4/10. It was going ok, then Cruz gave a speech that was waaay too long, and refused to endorse Trump to the boos of the audience. His words were "vote your conscience", lol. Then the screens went out and stayed out for the following two speeches. It was a mess.
Image summary of tonight.
Sure heh, I'm not on Twitter anyhow.

Hey, I'd drink in his position. He's probably still furious that no one would take his job after humiliating defeat 2012 and completely ignoring the "GOP postmortem." Also, he's from Wisconsin, so there's an automatic 90% chance he is. Even the people who don't drink here are all alcoholics. They've just wisely controlled themselves.

I thought Pence at least carried himself like a normal politician.
A huge disconnect between Pence describing Trump and the reality of his character though. Utah conservative Talk Radio noted that.

No ideas or substance uttered tonight. Gingrich may have said something an actually intelligent human being would say but I took a break.

It's what he needed to do though. Right now trump is trying to sell himself to establishment and I just don't see this playing out well. Now a VP doing the selling, you have a far better sale going on.
Today's proceedings where honestly just more of just the same fear/hate mongering we've seen over the last couple of days, sprinkled with lies aplenty. Oddly enough, however, the starting speeches seemed more job focused then the entirety of yesterday, despite that not being tonight's theme.
While I would like to give a special shout out to Rubio for not even showing up to give his speech, that Cruz betrayal stole the show and made the whole thing worth it!
Only one more day to go....
