Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Mike Thick]

This is a catastrophe

[Mike Thick]

This is way too light-hearted for a speech about an intense battle during a terrorist attack

[Mike Thick]

I'm genuinely saddened.

Dude, you have nothing to be sad about!

There's a lot for conservatives to be sad about in this election.

[Mike Thick]

tfw when you realize you aren't even relevant on Atlas anymore.

I can assure you that we'll be plenty relevant as opponents of Donald Trump in the general election

I was talking about Jim Gilmore, not you.

He'll always be relevant in our hearts

"but HILLARY"

-Summary of the 2016 Republican National Convention

[Mike Thick]

Honestly, at first it was hilarious watching this clusterf**k, but it's actually horrifying at this point. A major political party has descended into a fascist mess that wants to turn the country into a banana republic where they imprison their political opponents, stifle all descent, and rule like a dictator against the wishes of Congress and the law. And the scarier part is that they actually have a chance to win due to how many mindless drones care about nothing else other than the letter after your name when voting.

American democracy is in trouble.

IceSpear, we all know that you would never vote to have a republican as president, no matter how scandalous or awful the democratic candidate is. Yeah, you might stay home or vote green, but you know you would never actually back the republican, even if it was a moderate like Pataki or Kasich or atlas favorite Jim Gilmore.

If the election were George Pataki vs. Earl Ray Tomblin, I think we all know who he'd vote for

He hasn't said he hates WV D's, he just thinks they're all dead in the water while I don't think it's wise to extrapolate from 2014.

It was a joke

[Mike Thick]

Tom Barrack was absolutely stellar.

[Mike Thick]

I'm thinking more and more Clinton will pick Tim Roemer. He's anti NAFTA. He'll do well in the Rust Belt.

What are you?

Clueless?

Hey..he's a dark horse.

You see, that implies he actually has a chance of being picked

[Mike Thick]

wow, this is actually an incredible speech
