Weird how so much of Trump and the GOP's official policy has centered around strengthening the allies of Russia while weakening its enemies in the region - especially countries it would love to gobble up. Weird how this started as soon as Manafort came on board. WEIRD

So the RNC has the pyramid scheme lady who gave a worse speech than the "such as and the Iraq" lady from 10 years ago whereas the DNC is going to roll out Obama, Biden, Bill Clinton, both Castros, Michelle, Jill, Bernie, John Lewis, Debbie Dingell, Elizabeth Warren and who knows probably a spoken word performance from Lin-Manuel Miranda. E: possibly one or both of the Obama daughters speaking as well. We're going to have Joe giving a heartfelt emotional rallying cry for America to be the America Beau believed in, etc. Maybe Marc Cuban will drop some slam poetry on Trump, a half-dozen people of a rainbow of ethnicities and sexual/gender identities all dropping 2-minute pieces on how lovely the GOP is to people like them, basically four days of solid speakers and contrast to the hosed-up conniption week that just happened in Cleveland.

if this was a  by the trump campaign to humiliate ted cruz how come their surrogates aren't all on the same page? half of them are saying they were blindsided and half are saying they knew cruz wouldn't endorse and weren't surprisedtrump left his meeting with cruz in dc thinking he'd negotiated a speech that would benefit him and the campaign were stuck with the deal

I could see a few progressives heckling Tim Kaine at the convention, something like that. Then the media could run "Are the Democrats as disunited as the Republicans?!?" stories.

Scrub-Niggurath posted:if it's a blowout then it's good for Cruz. If it's a closer race then it's bad for Cruz because the "lost due to internal sabotage/lack of unity" explanation becomes a lot stronger This. If it's a blow out loss for Trump then Cruz will brag about sticking to his principles when everyone else caved and look prescient. Meanwhile every single republican who supported Trump will start pretending they were against him all along and have nothing to attack Cruz with over the convention. If it's close then he's fried via "stabbed in the back" narrative. Meanwhile the narrative for tonight will all be about Cruz not bending the knee and the VP speach will be completely forgotten (also because it was bland as gently caress). Best case scenario for Trump is that he shored up some of his republican support via gently caress TED while looking like an incompetent fool in front of the rest of the country.

Don't forgot Elizabeth Warren, probably Corey Booker, a video segment from Jimmy Carter, and I wouldn't be shocked to see Al Gore make an appearance

Meanwhile every single republican who supported Trump will start pretending they were against him all along and have nothing to attack Cruz with over the convention. Trump's loyal voters are about 35% of the Republican electorate. They will not forget this. To them the legacy of lyin' Ted has just been cemented and Hannity, Ingrahm, and Savage will never allow them to forget it. Rubio and Walker played a much shrewder game than Cruz - don't endorse, but don't offend.

From what I've read Miranda will be in filming for Mary Poppins during the convention and thus unable to attend. They might get him to tape something though.

FourLeaf posted:Please tell me which convention was worse? Not being sarcastic GOP Conventions in the 1880s were fierce due to the Credit Mobilier scandal showing that 1880 nominee James Garfield and 1884 nominee James Blaine were openly taking bribes from the railroads. Both conventions had some very vocal people trying to derail those candidates. 1872 the Dems failed to nominate a candidate at all and ended up just endorsing Horace Greeley's run as a "Liberal Republican."

That has to be a parody account, surely. I say that even though I'm now at the point where I completely believe Trump might have a made up person to take the fall for scandals and someone in the campaign started a fake Twitter account today for her. But I still just really want to give sane reality the benefit of the doubt.

Considering he didn't have them last cycle, one primary doesn't really foretell an loyal voting block. Its not like Gerald Ford supporters went gently caress REGAN in 1980.
