Has there been less applause than usual for this RNC?

Well, no one's there. They're either being given to an empty room or a sparse crowd, due to, you know, the plague that Trump said he beat.

Anyone find it odd they're trying to make the Trump family into paragons of virtue? We all know who Trump is, and people voted for him despite/because of that. This time they're trying to sell the Trump family as the blessed royals or something, they're all speaking and they're all talking about how good Trump is and how good they are. It's weird, it's like they're trying to sell something people haven't seen already.

Last night was a more accurate depiction of who they are. Tonight was so deceptive that I'm surprised their garments below the waist didn't burst into flame.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

quote:

A speaker who had been expected to deliver remarks on the third night of the Republican National Convention has been unexpectedly removed from the program hours before airtime. Another speaker’s appearance is up in the air.

The campaign confirmed that Robert Unanue, the president and CEO of Goya Foods, will not be speaking Wednesday night, citing a “logistical problem.”

Unanue’s praise of President Donald Trump at the White House last month sparked a boycott of his company’s products.

Also unclear is the status of a speech by former professional football player Jack Brewer.

NPR reported late Tuesday that Brewer was charged with insider trading by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this month. The campaign would not say definitively whether he will speak.

I bet the RNC is regretting pre-taping all these speeches. Not because they have no chance to tone down the rhetoric, but because they have no change to make it even more extreme in response to last night's violence.

Why would you even do it to yourself today? A 17 year old kid got hopped up on racism and killed two people, a massive hurricane is coming, sports are on strike, and you're gonna watch Mike Pence?

Put it that way, the show put on tonight is almost a comedy by comparison.

This kind of thing was supposed to expand Trump's coalition? People voting for him are already white-hot for him, what is this even accomplishing other than verbally jacking off the POTUS?

Yeah, NAPO president straight up saying that Democratic mayors are intentionally causing violence.

Now Rep. Stefanik is trotting out the standard fashy nonsense. She's literally calling questioning the President an attack on the American people.

Gotta keep that iron hot and their anger lately has been red hot. My wife and friends are abortion clinic escorts and boy oh boy has it been getting super heated lately. They bring their kids and try to get the kids to chant and block the driveways into the clinic. They have signs with blown up pictures of miscarriages and wave them at traffic. They have been kicked out of the neighboring lot because they have been a nuisance and pissed that the front sidewalk has sprinkler systems and they call the police on the staff for disrupting their rights whenever they turn on. It’s a nightmare and it’s just gonna get worse with this rhetoric getting amplified
