Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

""What I did for New York, Donald Trump will do for America."



Seems like a pretty likely prediction.

Aren't the latest FEC numbers supposed to be out real soon?

If another report drops during this convention of Trump's pisspoor campaign funding, I can't imagine the atmosphere on the floor getting more dire

The July monthly will be put up in the evening on Wednesday.

And they should tell us whether he's actually forgiven his loans to the campaign or not. My money is on "no". (They'll probably claim it was an oversight, and they'll do it "soon".)

Heidi Cruz had to be escorted out by security, with delegates yelling that she was a Goldman Sachs whore up in her face.

As opposed to Trump, who has a Goldman Sachs partner running financing for his campaign?

Republican convention-goers are too stupid for words. I'm starting to come around to the point of view than wants to see Hillary go Cersi Lannister on the RNC.

"We're going to change the labor laws" to shrink the pay gap
"Equal pay for equal work"

^^^ More proof that Republicans will clap for anything, so long as it's a fellow Republican that says it.

It's like having trained seals, only you feed them on hate instead of fish.

He didn't mention anything about a hateful domestic ideology now, did he?

He obviously feels that he needs to keep repeating "believe me" because he's worried no one will.

I have to say, it worries me because this speech seems pretty effective.

It's empty preaching to the choir. It lacks what fire he normally has, and lacks substance. (Although I think he just promised to ban immigration from France.)

Wait. I forget, is Trump for law and order? I couldn't tell.

It's like a piece of classic music, where the composer took great delight in playing with the audience's heads via fake endings.
