Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

And now this couple has called Biden a fake Christian

[KaiserDave]

The problem with this rhetoric is that the general public won’t buy that Joe Biden is a Marxist. In 2016 Trump had some legitimate material behind his attacks, now.....nothing.

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

This is something out of a Purge movie. So damn creepy.

[KaiserDave]

That was some serious dog-whistle sh*t.

No that was a bullhorn

[Indy Texas 🇺🇦🇵🇸]

Can someone please explain why the RNC has personal injury trial lawyers speaking at it?

Is that not just proof that they've thrown any pretense of conservative, pro-business ideology out the window in favor of backing any white person with the cojones to draw guns on uppity minorities?

I'm actually enjoying the format. I'm now regretting missing most of the DNC. I still like the in-person convention, but this change isn't so bad all in all.

My thoughts exactly

Hopefully next time we get a hybrid with combinations of the good from both

Think of it this way: the good speakers (Michelle Obama, Matt Gaetz, etc) would make fantastic speeches before loud cheering audiences. But video presentations offer both parties an easy and effective means of giving regular every day people a voice before a national audience. The McCloskeys wouldn't be that effective if they had a crowd before them. But the videotaped remarks are more appealing than I remembered.

Kimberly Guilfoyle's speech sounds ridiculous without a live audience. Someone needs to whisper in her ear to quit yelling for Christ's sake!

In her defense she is ridiculous

Yeah it works well

The Republicans: The Democratic Party is the party of rich champagne-sipping hot tubbers.

Also the Republicans: Here's an oppressed couple that lives in a multimillion-dollar 20k sqft mansion.

Kimberly Guilfoyle sounds unhinged

She should be named the winner of the next Jeanine Pirro Award.

[DrScholl]

Just imagine what would have happened had a black couple pulled guns on Q-Anon or Tea Party protesters.

[John Dule]

There isn't enough Kool-Aid in the world for this

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Ok someone really needs to tell her to cool it. I can already see the SNL sketch now.

[LeBron]

Did someone piss in Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Cheerios or something?

A primetime speaking slot at the DNC?

Because their speech isn't about their job? Its about what event happened to them?

[brucejoel99]

Gavin & her splitting up makes sense now. She's f**king cray-cray.

[KaiserDave]

Oh she might just ruin this for the RNC

[riceowl]

Jesus Christ that was uncomfortable

[Admiral Stockdale]

Wow... she sounds like when Dwight from the Office gave his speech at the PA paper conference.

I'm sure some Qanon and Tea Party people have been robbed before somewhere along the line.

That was the Dean Scream of our decade.

YES.

[Suburbia]

Why is Vernon Jones still a Democrat? He's literally been trashing it for many years now...

Jones is a black conservative Democrat....a lot of them in the South

John DeBerry, etc.

[Podgy the Bear]

Looking like the 1992 RNC so far.  They are desperate to play to the base.  No intention to expand it.
