Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Brandern]

Boy, Ivanka is getting good at this projection stuff! And so young!

[Rand]

Ivanka is such a good speaker.

Well the bar for public speaking is pretty low at this convention. Kind of like its ratings.

Actually I read that the ratings are quite high, if we’re being fair.

They're not. See the ratings thread.

There’s like no social distancing and no people wearing masks in this crowd, I wonder how many COVID cases there’ll be.

So their main argument is that if you wanna prevent everything that's already happening under Trump's America from happening under Biden's America, you need to re-elect Trump so that he can stop it all from happening even though it's already happening?

Somebody please make it make sense.

That ship not only sailed, it hit an iceberg and went under.

[DrScholl]

There have been lots of declarations of results, but no evidence to back them up. Where is the beef?

[Gass3268]

Ivanka: “The results speak for themselves.”

Coming soon to a Biden ad near you.

Ivanka is literally talking about fighting the global pandemic to a crowd that's seated too closely together & hardly any wearing masks. The chairs aren't as tightly packed as they might've been last year, but they're clearly less than 6 feet apart. She's claiming again that all COVID-19 breakthroughs are a result of Trump's actions. Fact-checkers are sorely needed for all of these speeches tonight.

[Saint Milei]

If Obama gets a peace prize after being a war criminal, trump should be immortalized as the supreme overlord of humanity

[brucejoel99]

Trump closed the economy, Ivanka? Really? That wasn't him endlessly bitching about governors doing it? Declaring that the whole pandemic was their responsibility? Trying to force governors to re-open?

Jesus, I know she knows where her bread is buttered given all of the graft that's gone her way, but she's as bad a liar as her dad.

[Anti-Trump Truth Socialite JD Vance Enjoying Juror]

He did a great job of stopping foreign wars. We're still in Afghanistan, we're still in Syria, and we almost went to war with Iran back in January. But hey: at least we "made peace" between two nations who were never at war.

I heard on CNN all were tested before going on White House grounds.

God I can't wait for the debates

[KaiserDave]

Here's the big fella

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

The setting is breathtaking.

[WD]

You can tell by the look on Melania’s face that she doesn’t want to be there.

[Dr. Arch]

The setting is breathtaking.

Just like the pandemic that Trump allowed to spread.

[Rand]

What an ugly dress.

[DrScholl]

It's remarkable that they are playing God Bless the USA while violating the law and disrespecting the country by using the White House as a political venue.

[KaiserDave]

What an ugly dress.

I actually quite disagree. I like the color.

"Sparing no effort to save lives", I know he's talking about the hurricane but yikes.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I like neon. Melania is the First MILF.

How is that ironic? Do you not know the song? The song is about America and patriotism. It's not like he played Simple Man by Charlie Daniels.

[brucejoel99]

Honestly, I've been looking forward to this last night out of hope that he wouldn't be scripted. If I get 35 minutes of a script, I'll be hella disappointed.
