I was quite surprised to see Cheeto lumbering in. I always thought they saved the candidate until the end in order to build suspense. . . Cheeto looked decidedly low energy with his sagging jowls and that enormous, square dressing on his ear. Knowing the Repigs and how they operate, I have no doubt that dressing on his ear was placed for what they thought would be strategic value. It just looks, well. . . strange.

The crowd did not seem at all excited, and the speakers did not appear to be terribly energetic either. Of course they got some cheers, but it was not over enthusiastic in my opinion.

When I think about Joe's performance in Detroit, there is no comparison with Cheeto's RNC. Joe's Detroit performance reminded me of what a normal political convention sounds like.
