So they just switch to generic elevator music to drown out the sounds of dissent. Not even a little bit surprising coming from the Republican Party.

Xarthor posted:Why are people shouting "Role Call Vote"? Instead of a voice vote, some delegates want a roll call vote where votes will be counted. They want to reject the rules which will possibly allow people to vote how they want instead of being bound.

This was totally expected though. Once they lost on the Rules Committee to unbound the delegates, the Never Trump movement was essentially dead.

Are we even sure they actually backed off, and some votes/signatures weren't simply "lost" in the chaos? Either way, that there's some good pandemonium.

Those in favor say "Aye": Loud yelling Those not in favor say "Nay": Equally loud yelling In the opinion of the chair, the Ayes have it. I mean, I can't even be upset at people being pissed at that, because the "Chair" can just say whichever they want because there is no way to have any pretense of accuracy.

The fact that a reality tv star barged into the presidental race and stands a serious shot at winning going by the latest polls is unreal. I wonder if the democratic primary in 4 years is going to be hijacked by a A-List hollywood actor.

Khisanth Magus posted:Those in favor say "Aye": Loud yelling This also happens in the Senate and Congress but there members can call, and usually must be given, a recorded roll call vote. Although it's not a formal roll call, they just vote at their desks and it's recorded. At the convention? Not so much. It's all on good faith and there is next to no mechanism for disrupting that. Which is why last election (or a few ago I forget) the Ron Paul coalition tried to pull some similar poo poo and got shut down. Which resulted in lots of angry libertarian nerds whining online about rules and trying to play rules lawyer while everyone else just smugly told them "Welcome to the real loving world where people in power can just tell you to go gently caress yourself".

Hilariously the Democratic equivalent of Trump taking over the GOP is...Trump taking over the Democratic Party.

I don't think so, the Dem establishment pays tribute to the Alec Baldwins and Sean Penns because it's good publicity and brings in money but nobody puts any credence into what they say or at least I hope so
