#NeverTrump considering placing another person in nomination for Vice President against Mike Pence

Why wouldn't they like Pence?

I feel sorry for her loss, but this is utterly insane.

Yeah it's shameful, irrational grief, and politicized to the point of absolute disgust.

I'm not mad at her, because I can understand why she's grieving. I'm mad at Drumpf and the GOP trying to use it for political gain.

This night is terrible. I can't watch.

I don't believe I've actually used this word yet during the 2016, but this is just fascism. Plain and simple.

It's scary. The crowd is scary. The words people are saying is scary.

All I've heard is basically a thin defense of why we should deliberately ignore the words of black people and, in fact, push back. What is this disgusting bullsh-t that America has become?

I still think Drumpf may just say the whole party is fascist and drop out in his speech.

"My parents came here from Mexico. *nervous laughter*"

That person better run.

This is what's truly scary. It's not just that Drumpf is the nominee, but that such a huge faction of the party is so supportive of some truly awful policies.

Indeed, I'm watching this mostly to be glad I'm not a member of this ridiculous party, that is FAR different from the party of Calvin Coolidge and Robert Taft. And it's sad how so many people feel they have to defend one of the two evils, including many people who stood against drinking the party's cool-aid not that long ago.

Meh, both Trump and Coolidge were anti immigrant, for fair trade, and both are much more isolationist than other Republicans. Trump seems to me like a Republican from the '20s.

"This year we get to fire the politicians."

That's every year, Voldemort. This is a democracy.

Well, he says that so confidently since he isn't running this year.

Cruz is soo the current frontrunner for 2020.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

This also shows how incompetent Trump is when compared to Hillary. The Democrats pretty much lined up and told Sanders to walk off a cliff if he did not endorse before the convention. Trump allowed Cruz to nuke him at his own convention without even getting a promise of an endorsement before Cruz committed to the speech

This convention has been too bad for it to not be intentional by Trump.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Tomorrow is the end all. Trump's speech will reveal everything.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

I hope Falwell goes all out.

Peter Thiel is supposedly going to tell the RNC crowd that he is proud to be gay.

This is going to be good.

Transcript of Trump's supposed speech. Actually, it's really good, but I doubt he even gives this speech.

Joe Arpaio should be executed.

And you guys call Drumpf a fascist...

Oh yeah, I guess Arpaio's a fascist too

Do you seriously find nothing wrong with calling for the execution of someone on the basis of political disagreeances? Christ, there is just no decency here.

Drumpf speech tonight has been leaked before he reads it:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-speech-full-text_us_5791547ae4b0bdddc4d3ea99?uvkz0homss9d4pldi

anyone think this will be a thing mentioned in the media or will no one notice?

I am honestly shocked that this is not being talked about in the media. This speech did not just "leak" ... it was leaked by an insider to a Democratic superpac.

It makes you wonder...

Drumpf?

I do not think so. But the source did say it was leaked by a "legitimate" Republican, according to Politico.

Drumpf is a Democratic plant.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

I'm sure if Drumpf delivers a coherent speech, Atlas will have one of its bipolar freak-outs about it.

Eh, Reagan and Lincoln could speak at the RNC and Atlas would still predict a negative bounce for Drumpf

It would become a negative bounce after Reagan and Lincoln refuse to endorse Drumpf.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

I bet he just convinced Jfern.
