So who's giving the keynote? Is Donald going to have a special appearance by Steve Wynn or something?

Who's the big speech tonight? Melania?

Probably the only speech worth watching tonight tbh.

If you don't actually know who Scott Baio is, you'd think he was some random Republican politician.

Now I'm almost sure this entire campaign was just to set up Melania and Ivanka for future runs for office.

I am almost sure we're going to get every state now asking for a poll of their state's delegates.

Paul Ryan subliminally telling Republican voters to support Hillary by watching the DNC and "thinking about what's at stake."

This definitely is the "BUT HILLARY" day, since I've heard nothing but fluff so far about why Trump is so great, or how he'll actually handle the presidency.

Its been BUT HILLARY day since the first day of the campaign.

I think this was the best speech insofar that it sounds like a standard convention speech. The only problem is that it's the third day of a four day convention.

Wow people cheering government-lead scientific discovery at the RNC. I'm shocked.

Wow, that speech could have been given at any convention.

PBS pointed out that she didn't say the last line of her speech: "That leader is Donald Trump."

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?
