Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Drew]

Ugh it's my governor.

[Suburbia]

LMAO at the Pences praying. I think God has higher priorities than helping a man whose party exploits and perverts His Word for political gain.

Hey, I pray a lot. Pence may be a hypocrite politically, but he's a just man.

[Xing]

Hey aliens, can you beam Scotty up?

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

I'm assuming the hard message shift toward security is because of Nice, Dallas, etc., but is harping on that for an entire convention a bit of a waste?

What a trashy speech, Scott Walker.

[Horsemask]

Hey guys

Did you know that America deserves better?

[Drew]

Some low energy there, Scotty.

[Xing]

Hey guys

Did you know that America deserves better?

No, I think I need to hear it another 15 times before it really sinks in.

[john cage bubblegum]

Good lord Scott Walker is the worst.  That short period of time where he actually had a Presidential future was pretty amusing.

[Free Bird]

He still has that thing when someone sounds like they're about to cry when they're trying to be powerful

[Horsemask]

Hey guys

Did you know that America deserves better?

No, I think I need to hear it another 15 times before it really sinks in.

I'm sure Scotty is happy to oblige

Yeah but I doubt you use your elected position to spread hate and fear and lies all in God's name while calling yourself a "family values evangelical born-again conservative Christian." I have nothing wrong with people who pray; I do, however, have a big problem with people who use religion to prey on people's fears and bigotry to further their own ambitions. Republicans think they OWN Christianity and that one must be a Republican to be a Christian. I don't recall seeing anywhere in the Bible where it says that God or Jesus was a Republican. (Of course, the revisionist historians may change this like they change the history books in Texas, if they get a chance...)

Wisconsin deserves better. How did this guy win 3 statewide elections???

Don't blame me, I wasn't living in the state until a year ago.

[Oak Hills]

THREE TIMES IN FOUR YEARS!

[musicblind]

They really need to get off this "prison" kick. It makes them look sketchy to moderate voters.

I'm disappointed in Scott Walker for bringing that up. He's experienced enough in politics to know better. The real audience isn't in that arena, the real audience is watching at home.

[Xing]

I like how he thinks Republicans care about the court, and that double standards favor Hillary.

[Horsemask]

Jesus Christ I'm about to kill myself lmao

I was here for the 2014 midterms, and I'm perplexed even though I did my best to get turnout against him. The Democratic party has put forth some very weak candidates against him. If they had run someone like Feingold or Kind in 2014, the story might have been different.

[HAnnA MArin County]

Somebody needs to throw some cheese curds at poor little Scotty.

[Bismarck]

Well as a person who doesn't have an irrational fear of Gov. Walker like our forum dems, I thought it was a good speech.

[Fargobison]

Well that was awful. America deserves better than having to listen to same old Hillary sucks speech five times an hour. Moderates and indy's might want to listen to some actual ideas to make America better.

[SWE]

OH GOLLY GE WHIZ GUYS. OH SHUCKS, OH BOY. DID I JUST WIN OHIO. JEEZ OH MAN! THIS IS JUST NUTS!!!111!!!1!!

What did it for me was that he cut 300M from our higher education system and then used nearly that same amount of money to subsidize a new stadium.

Then there's that whole issue of him undercutting John Doe investigations by loading the Wis Supreme Court, and running as a moderate then governing as an extremist.
