2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBravenak's Republican National KKKonvention live blog - Day 2
So, yesterday ended with the news that Melania Trump used material stolen from Michelle Obama in her speech yesterday and the internet was on fire. Today we have just finished the roll call where Donald officially clinched the nom and the presumptive designation was dropped.
Let's see what insanity these dumbasses get up to today on this second day of the RNC Convention. Yesterday went VERY WELL for Democrats. Not so much for the Trump family.

(34,648 posts)The crowd does not look as excited as they did yesterday. That makes me a bit pleased.
I think it is a good thing it was dumdum who got the nomination...best rethug idiot for Hillary to run against.

(14,594 posts)One woman from Utah was calling for a roll call vote and got shouted down. When she went to the bathroom and then left the stall, she was beset by Trump supporters who told her she should die and that protection should be 'withdrawn' from the Utah delegation.
These are some sick, twisted and evil people.

(297,800 posts)Gotta say, a Trump plagiarizing Michelle Obama on honor, integrity and hard work is a metaphor for this entire campaign.

I really lost it with racist R Congress critter saying only white folk ever did anything worthwhile.

This whole thing is one long hate rally, with fox news providing propaganda.

(42,403 posts)It makes me sad. I'm so old I remember having good, honest arguments with Republicans and still being friends.
bravenak
(34,648 posts)Now they are like hate machines. It's Obama and Hillary that they are reacting to. A black AND a WOMAN beating them? Driving them absolutely crazy with their sexist racist asses. Many republicans from before are independents now and the worst of the worst gravitate to the R party. It's depressing but we will win.
mcar
(42,403 posts)I live in very red FL, what used to be Southern Democrats. Tea Party all over the place. SO and I feel like we're the only liberals left. I'm friends with many folk with whom I would never talk politics. It's total Trump here.
But they are good people. It gets depressing, which is why I spend so much time on DU.
bravenak
(34,648 posts)My republican friends were all driving me nuts talking about the fbi but now they are silent. That is good. I come here to get a break from the overwhelming redness

(989 posts)I enjoyed last night watching Netflix as the RNC contention proceeded. Save my head some pain. Especially enjoyed waking up early this morning the plager-gate. Seem like the most important part of the event last night took place in "the wee small hours of the morning" (taking care of quotes).
bravenak
(34,648 posts)It was a nasty show. But I stayed up hoping for some fallout and boy oh boy was I rewarded! I dont mind watching it so others can avoid that evil thing. The fact checks are the most important part to me.

(11,833 posts)it's so surreal I don't even know if it's true or not.
So, anyone please tell me:
Last night, was it actually the first party convention in which a bunch of speakers are calling for their opponent to be jailed?
This VP nominee Pence: did he really try and pass a law in Indiana requiring funerals for fetuses?
Did Trump get up there with a shotgun or rifle or something?
Did some actual elected leader say that President Obama is a Muslim?
Has anyone there proposed any substantive policy whatsoever?
Did their party platform really say that online porn is a public health crisis?
What are some of the more whacko things people there are saying or doing?
1. Yes. I think this was the first convention to jail an opponeng
2. Yes. He wants us to pay for funerals.
3. Did not see Trump with a shot gun. It would just make his hands look smaller to hold one.
4. It was antonio sabato jr (soap star) who called O muslim.
5. No policy
6. Yes. They want to fight the healt menace of porn
7. There is so much crazy in that one place I cannot even find anything to say. We may need to write a retrospective when this ends.

OMG, what?
Did Trump get up there with a shotgun or rifle or something?
Not that I saw, but wouldn't rule it out.
Did some actual elected leader say that President Obama is a Muslim?
Probably
Has anyone there proposed any substantive policy whatsoever?
No. Paul Ryan might have, but I was asleep because boring.
Did their party platform really say that online porn is a public health crisis?
That would be kinda hypocritical, but wouldn't rule it out.

That was damn funny
lovemydog
(11,833 posts)Donald Trump's son talked about the ruling elite and the media being against them. He seemed really pissed off. He tried to get the crowd going by saying some things that might deem a call and response (the response was supposed to be Donald Trump!) but didn't get it going.
CNN peeps tried talking a bit. Behind them were some republicans holding up signs like 'Don't believe the liberal media' and 'Clinton News Network.' They were acting all sheepish like they were playing some brilliant prank. Every now and then they'd smile like the cat that swallowed the canary.
The arena is nowhere near full. I think reporters outnumber convention attendees by 5-1.
Ben Carson said that he's against political correctness. Then he said Hillary liked a book by Saul Alinsky, that in the book Alinsky mentions Satan, so perhaps HILLARY CLINTON WORSHIPS SATAN. I think he was trying to be witty. No one laughed.
That was all I could stand to watch. Made me feel gross.
