Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Horus]

This whole convention has been fantastic.

Blasting the warmongering elite. Fking love it

I freaking love the new GOP.

If the new GOP hates warmongering, then why does our fat bloated military keep getting absurd budget increases?

Like I've said many times, for Republicans it's all about optics. If they say they're anti war, they must be. Where the money actually goes is not relevant, it's just about their fweelings.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

At the very least, can we stop quoting the giant Trump gif?

[dunceDude]

Does anyone else want to quote the big Trump zoomed-in lips saying "wrong" GIF? I really want to see it like 4 or 5 more times.

This Pence speech is the most boring piece of garbage I have ever heard.

Has that budget been used to launch a massive (and unjustified) invasion of Iraq? No? What about the wars with Iran and North Korea? What ever happened to that? Just because he's stupidly expanding our military doesn't mean he intends to use it. In fact, Trump has repeatedly shown extreme restraint on the global stage.

[DrScholl]

Pence is not a good or compelling speaker.

Mother must not have edited it thoroughly.

The money is still being wasted to the tune of trillions. Where is the money going?

I could handle the BS of Night 1 and the dullness of Night 2, but not both at the same time. Pence's speech is the first time between the 2 conventions that I've changed the channel

This is is interesting

The 538 blog pointed out that Most of the night, Twitter sentiment toward Biden was more negative than positive. But during Pence’s remarks, sentiment toward Biden has rebounded back into neutral territory. Meanwhile, as Pence has generated volume, sentiment around him has worsened.


Pence speech is a flop

It's laughable for Atlas Biden supporters to blast trump's fopo when they were just recently cheering for more aggression towards Russia and support a warmonger like Biden.

[DrScholl]

It looks like Pence has on a ton of foundation.

Fantastic job by VP Pence!!

Twitter sentiment

Where I stopped reading.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I like the guy, but Pence just doesn't have "it." I hope he doesn't run in 2024.

[South Dakota Democrat]

Fantastic job of lying, misconstruing, and being awful by VP Pence!!

[brucejoel99]

Pence literally claimed that the Democratic convention didn't talk about their policies but that the Republicans' did.

An 80-page 2020 Democratic Platform was published by the Democratic convention. The Republican convention explicitly decided to NOT HAVE a platform for 2020 & just have support for Trump be their theme for the election.

The modern Republican Party totally & completely lives in its own alternate reality.

[DrScholl]

Hypocrisy is on display. Trace Adkins is singing the national anthem after several speakers have attacked the DNC for having celebrities present. Couldn't they have found some random church choir director from the heartland to sing the song?

The same place the money has always gone - the military industrial complex.

Pence gave a good speech. Still wont support him

You'd attack him for having "a nobody" sing the anthem. You attack Trump no matter what.

[YE]

Can we avoid childish arguments in here? I've had to delete like a dozen posts tonight for a reason.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Someone needs to tell Pence that "Make America Great again again" is not a good saying.

It really doesn't matter who sang the song. The problem is the hypocrisy.
