"I am listening and watching and coming to a decision" - Ted Cruz, saying he's getting there, but not yet ready to endorse Trump
Which means he will endorse.

At Bloomberg breakfast, Manafort tells reporters that model for Trump's acceptance speech will be Nixon 68.
LAW AND ORDER.

And it looks like Trump will introduce Melania, so he will speak today.

DC-GAF!

What's a good spot to watch the convention? I want a place with the maximum amount of Republicans. I'm hoping to go undercover as "one of the good ones". Tortilla Coast?

If I had to guess, probably somewhere in NoVA would be your best bet. Bethesda probably has a lot too.

Basically, go to where the rich people live.

Excellent thread title.

Trump mimicking Nixon's law and order/southern strategy path probably would have worked if this was even a decade ago, but I don't think it can work now due to demographics. Makes an interesting parallel to the 60s though - if the 2010s are the new 60s with the shift in social attitudes, civil rights and social awareness movements, more left wing youth, etc. then naturally Trump comes to bring the countermeasure, but this time the results should be different.

Anyway they will dump trump before Thursday, are we really stuck with him? I think Hillary is easily beatable if we can get anyone that can speak a cohesive sentence. (Asking other GOP Gaf)

No chance. Trump has the largest share of supporters based on his crushing victory in the primary (no one else was close). He represents the GOP in values almost by definition. And replacing him would just lead to his people burning the party down on the way out (so I'd like to see it as a Democrat, but it's not going to happen).

You're stuck with him. The stop Trump people couldn't get organized. They failed at the platform committee to get the conscience clause through. There's no one running an alternative campaign against him. There's no white knight waiting in the wings. It's Trump or Trump.

Mike Pence eats at Chilis? wtf. I barely make shit at my job and would never go to a Chilis.

no living GOP President is going to the convention? Has that ever happened?

wonder what the chances are of someone going off on Trump at the convention?

It's so annoying talking heads on tv saying how the GOP needs to broaden their base yet then say how Donald Trump is the man to do it.

Don't they look at the polls and stats? Just because you say something doesn't make it a fact.

There was talk of a walk-out, but the people actually speaking have no balls so they'll do their best to support Trump and not anger the RINO hunters in the audience, what with their open-carry rifles in attendance.
