Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

[CellarDoor]

The only way Republicans have a chance of winning this cycle (outside of voter suppresion) is if they make the eleciton a choice, as opposed to a referendum on Trump.  And yet the RNC is going all-in on a four day Trump circle jerk.  Good luck with that.

Melania's speech was absolutely amazing. Democrats last week, just said Orange man bad, and that Joe Biden had a heart and was compassionate. All Republicans have to do now is just show off Trump's empathy and so far they are hitting the nail in the head. Also it doesn't help for the Democrats to show off warmongering neocons like Colin Powell. Now Trump wins on the anti-war issue too!

You have low standards.

If you listen carefully, you can hear constant sirens in the distance. Protesters are out in force. It's other-worldly.

Can’t hear much of them. Bad form if it’s true though.

The President of the United States giving a political speech from the White House is bad form, not the people protesting it.
