More chaos and division in the GOP as long-time NE State GOP Chair Dan Welch was ousted and 10 delegates resigned in protest. Former US Senate candidate Matt Innis was arrested during it for assault and trespassing, but later returned from jail to the floor to vote against Welch.

So, either assault and trespassing aren't illegal anymore, OR...

that he did not know that the guy he assaulted when they wouldn’t allow him in was a plainclothes cop.

I guess now they are only interested in Law and Order in the inner cities.

The events at the convention are unifying for the Republicans and damaging for Democrats

The word "disarray" can only be used to describe Democrats.

So if these are Repukes, maybe they're having a disagreement? Or maybe it's all a misunderstanding?
It can't possibly be disarray though.

They are worse than a rapid dog.

A rapid dog is just sick and in terrible torment.
