Anyone start an RNC discussion thread yet?

Hey, that speech by Lyin' Ted was pure Ted! He was in fine form, for sure! LOL

I haven't watched any of the convention. That would have required a morphine drip. But I did hear some of the highlights. I will be interested to see if his "vote your conscience" stand will turn out to be very bad or very good for his political future.

Chris Christie took Lyin' Ted to task over it. His response was worthwhile. I also kind of found myself agreeing with Christie's rationale and assessment of Lyin' Ted's speech.

In case anyone was wondering I heard on NPR today why tennis balls are prohibited. Apparently it's a fear that they will have been turned into tennis bombs.

That makes some sense. Back in WWII, some grenades were designed to be the same size as baseballs because so many American boys grew playing the game.

I found it simultaneously self-serving and inspirational, which is in some ways political oratory at it's best.

I am starting to think that Trump has a real chance of beating Crooked Hillary in Nov.

As we say in Wisconsin, it's a horse apiece.

Whether you prefer your dishonesty and incompetence straight up or with artificial flavoring added, it's much the same product.

I don't know how many voters actually pay attention to the RNC events, but all of the family and big whip politician supporters testifying in his favor have given him a bigger image of legitimacy, I think. Lyin' Ted's speech may actually play in his favor. Ted was not exactly universally popular. I could even start to think that the plagiarism issue was a secretly well planned publicity stunt to get more media attention and that he doesn't give a hoot about who approves the music they use. I predict his acceptance speech will be a grand theatrical production.

I could see him having a chance, too. I think the distance separating them has narrowed.

It earned Lion Ted a write-in vote from me. Whatever his motivations were, I think it important that someone in that arena remind Republicans what it means to be a conservative.

You are thus committing to voting for Lyin' Ted?

Would a write-in vote for Lyin' Ted be a vote for Crooked Hillary?
