Seeing these worthless pundits eagerly claim that if Trump goes up there and reads a speech written for him from a teleprompter without going on a diatribe would somehow redeem this debacle week is both angering and disappointing. These people should not be getting paid so handsomely for this kind of hollow analysis, it's disgusting.

Yep, I think it was on CNN earlier and it was nice to see but they had a panel with Medved and some other people. One of the (I think republican's) said something to the effect of one speech by Trump doesn't change how he has ran and what he has said.

I mean if the RNC wants this to be his turning point okay, go for it; but, he has to stay true to that message till Nov. and I don't think he can do it. Nor does it erode everything he has said and done in the past year.

Apparently there was a shit-storm between Bill O'Reilly and Montel Williams?

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brief...montel-williams-feud-on-air-at-gop-convention

Probably already posted tho

-- a supporter of Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the Republican primaries -- was scheduled to appear on “The O'Reilly Factor” at 8:15 p.m. Eastern, live from Cleveland on the third night of the convention. But when O'Reilly returned from a commercial break, he informed viewers that Williams “walked out in a huff … and the producer tells me he was mad about some gay thing.”
O'Reilly then declared that Williams, "will never be on this program again.”

“He's not a man of his word, he's unprofessional,” he continued. “This is about as low as it gets."

Williams -- who heard O'Reilly’s commentary on a screen showing Fox News in the convention arena -- quickly reacted on Periscope and Twitter before finding another microphone — this one from Meghan McCain's iHeartRadio show, "America Now" — to vent his frustration. Ms. McCain is also a Fox News contributor and frequent co-host on the opinion show, "Outnumbered".

Williams didn't hold anything back in the conversation with McCain.

"He calls me a coward? He calls me all of these names because I didn’t want to speak to him?” an incredulous Williams asked. "I’m a COWARD? Excuse me … I’ve got 22 years in the military. The last time I looked, that little sissy never put on a uniform, though he talks a lot of trash about how quickly we should send other people’s children off to die."

Williams, 60, enlisted in the Marines upon graduating high school in 1974. He also served in the U.S. Navy.

When contacted by The Hill, spokesman Jonathan Franks said Williams refused to appear for his scheduled appearance after a misunderstanding over the topic to be discussed on the segment.

Williams, Franks explained, was under the impression that O'Reilly was going to discuss his speech that day to the American Unity Fund, a conservative LBGT cause whose members include Caitlyn Jenner. The segment was changed at the last moment, he contended, to a debate with Fox host Eric Bolling over a poll regarding race relations unfavorable to President Obama.

O'Reilly, however, said the topic was made clear to Williams well before going to air.
"Topic was not changed and Williams knew about it for hours ahead of time," O'Reilly told The Hill. "Just minutes before air time, he demanded the segment include his take on gay rights or something.

"When told that was not possible because the talking points set up voting demographics, the topic he agreed to, he bolted," O'Reilly continued. "My entire staff witnessed this debacle and script was written four hours before air. First time in nearly 20 years a guest has done that. Unbelievably unprofessional for a person in the industry."

I'm torn on Montel. On one hand I appreciate the work he's done to raise awareness about MS but on the other doing ads for payday loan companies and his willingness to sell just about anything makes him seem like kind of a huckster.

I'm not sure how your bothered by that when people are talking about Cruz in 2020.

I mean for starters, he was beaten with ease and didn't even make it to a contested convention as initially expected. Virtually nobody likes this guy except his family...Boehner said it best after all.

Moreover, Cruz has terrible ideas particularly for women and Muslims so not sure why liberals and the lamestream media are peddling a narrative that he deserves respect. He's a total chump that's delusional if he thinks other people won't be running in 2020 to try and take the presidency away from Hillary or Trump. Cruz is disgusting and I hope he's finished in politics.

When she walks out to make her speech, she also does that straight-arm wave. I (now) don't think it has any Nazi/fascist association. However, I also doubt she did a Google image search and made that collage of Saluting Hillary on her own, and it originated in some -chan/reddit racist cesspool. And the fact it includes a direct Hillary-Hitler comparison picture is not a good look.

I've said this elsewhere:

Starscream just stabbed Megatron in the back. That might have helped the Autobots in the short run, but remember that Starscream is still a Decepticon.

I just wonder if Trump is going to go off script and trash Cruz? I hope he does one of his unhinged stump speeches to keep the fires burning. Teleprompter Trump is so boring and vanilla. I'm interested to see that Peter Thiel speech to see if he really follows through on the rumors. Expecting Ivanka to be poised and professional as usual.

I think he misread you, the fire and brimstone speech will be Trump's.

Thiel will allegedly say he's proud to be gay and chastise the GOP for fighting a losing culture war
