He is just winging it. No self-discipline. Blah, Blah, Blah.....They spied on me. They spied on me......blah, blah, blah.......they spied on me.

He is a fucking liar. It is sickening.

such a horrific embarrassment.

I wonder if Trumpbots will, some day, suddenly realize they'd been conned?

So far nothing is said to promote the GOP or encourage voters to choose Republicans. Seems and odd agenda for a Republican convention.

And he’s pushing it HARD. He’s going to alienate everybody who isn’t in the cult. And that’s a dying bunch.

It looks like a county fair.

as long as no one questions him, of course

He could go all day.

They are going to tell more lies in these 4 days than all 4 years of Trump. And then some.

Right now he's talking about Bernie Sanders and how he was 'taken advantage of' during the primary. And it was Pocahantas' fault, stealing Bernie's votes. So unfair. Then he jumped to China, to voting fraud and the Postal Service hoax which is all tied up with Amazon getting an unfair advantage. On and on without a pause or single cogent thought.

Now he's claiming the next president could have 5 new Supreme Court appointments.

It's Crazy Day!

but he is disclosing what the theme of the RNC is going to be. One lie after another. Petty shit!

The people are eating it up. The more they cheer, the crazier he gets. He is lying more than he usually does.

I can just picture Mary (his niece) and his sister, The Judge, covering their faces in horror.

Pence gave a little acceptance speech as VP nominee. Then Trump came on and rambled on for an hour. Luckily the broadcast networks interrupted their programming to cover it so everyone had a chance to see it. I guess it was an acceptance speech preview.

because they weren't sure what to expect if they gave trump two hours? The same networks who kept the DNC to an hour a night? Yep, it sounded that dishonest at the time, too.
