This is the official Republican National Convention thread

What’s wrong with the other one we are already posting on?

(This one)

R1, it says the Republicans are winning with this shit and they aren’t. This speech will be talked about for days because it so terrible.

R1, Op had a tanty for some unexplained reason. It's the grief and fear, probably.

The other one was started on TUESDAY.

Oh, big deal. Just pick one.

Is Donald Trump ever going to shut the fuck up? Jesus.

Saw a photo of a granddaughter sitting in his lap.

She was a doppelganger for those children of the corn twins of Fat Albert of Monaco.

He’s not even 3/4 the way through his prepared speech, according to PBS.

Smarmy, self-pitying... and snarky in a "Nyah-nyah, you missed me!" way. All delivered in a hack pastor voice.

Nobody loves you. Nobody's ever wanted you. Your mother kicked you out of her house at puberty. And you've been molesting a version of her ever since.

Ooh, something else he’s going to do on Day 1. How many is that?

Well it’s over, a 90 minute speech. So much for unity, which was supposed to be the focus of the speech, he did nothing but self-fellate and riff.

So no Barron it seems. I wonder if he was busy packing for college.

He only knows how to give one speech and he gave it again tonight.

At least the little kids are having fun with the balloons. It must have been exrcuciating for them to sit through that.

Ivanka looks as refreshed as Gaetz.

Melania has spent all of her time on stage talking to Vance and his wife. Kim wasn’t even close to Don Jr. so there must be trouble in paradise. Hopefully they can keep their 4 year long engagement together in case he does win and Jr. and Kim can have their wedding at the White House in the Rose Garden.

Why do they show up wearing ear bandages...

Where’s Barron? is trending…

Trump is nuts and it was obvious and he'll get votes from other nuts. Not enough to win.

The latest CBS poll has Trump at 52% in head to head with Biden. Besides being a majority of the country, that would also turn into an EC win.

What a bizarre, incoherent speech. What is his thing with Hannibal Lecter?

R20, not really. Was the poll made up of likely voters, eligible voters? 1 in 5 Americans aren’t even 18 so they certainly weren’t polled. Trump has never gotten more than 47 percent of the vote and that was when he won.

You could just tell that Vance’s wife, when the families were standing on the stage after the speech, was thinking, “What the fuck has my husband gone and done?”

"Why Trump's Bizarre, Incoherent Speech Spells Bad News for Biden."

THR review:

Good lord. And they can't get rid of their elderly gaffmeister. We can get rid of ours. (I hope - reading the reviews, I'm afraid Pelosi et al. might back off the new plan)

Because it's a cult R17.

Why wasn’t First Mistress on stage?

"What a bizarre, incoherent speech. What is his thing with Hannibal Lecter?"

A vague threat to his enemies that he could brutally erase them. Also, another attempt to fix the gaffe made months ago when he confused the name of actor Anthony Hopkins with the character he played in SOTL (I doubt if Trump has ever seen the film).

He needed an American Carnage-like speech to inspire his cult members, but it was a low-energy affair more appropriate for one of his fundraisers. He thinks he's already won.

The coverage this morning is universally bad. Maybe Barron was right to stay away.
