The Republican national Convention

There is literally nothing someone could do to lower the classiness of this convention. It’s seemingly designed for pointing and laughing, with a little bit of condemnation mixed in. Let’s not pretend these are reasonable people doing acceptable things.

Exactly! Trump has been a model of class and decorum throughout this campaign. He deserves the same respect he’s shown for other candidates!

Either that, or he’s still butthurt over being elbowed out of the nomination. I’m going with door number two myself.

Pence is smooth but dull. I am feeling sleepy watching him. I guess Trump has enough controversy in his organization.

Wasn’t he the guy Trump was thinking of picking for VP? I can’t keep track.

Biden lost his campaign for President.

Snopes on Obama

Remember that time at Thanksgiving, when you were at the kids’ table, and kept trying to get the attention of the adults by tattling on some other kid, and the adults kept telling you to go play?

Go play.

You caught us. We try to tell people at GOP gatherings that our secret should stay a secret and to never do the salute where others can see it. Fucking Laura Ingraham is going to blow the whole deal. :rolleyes:

So far the big headlines of the RNC have been:

  1. Melania plagiarizes Michelle Obama.
  2. Ted Cruz goes rogue and does not endorse Trump.

It has not been a good convention for the Big Cheeto.

Agreed. He lacks something. No charisma.

Well, I don’t think she’s a secret Nazi, but for a heartbeat or two that arm was stiff (no bending at the elbow) and the hand wasn’t moving–it didn’t look like a wave, or that she was pointing/acknowleging somebody…it looked just like a Nazi salute.

It is a puzzlement.

Pence is the VP pick.

Someone is going to end up killing him.

Heh, my 87-year-old mother is sitting there listening to Mike Pence bloviate, and chanting “Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.”

Pence’s family consists of normal humans instead of supermodels.

Bravo mom!

Perhaps she was simply pantomiming the second tone in the five tone greeting for the aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Hey, it is no more ridiculous than any of the excuses I expect to hear about it tomorrow.

Or you know, the attacks on his wife, the accusations against his dad…the fact that he didn’t literally flip Trump off shows a lot of restraint in my opinion.

Looking at Pence, he meets two critical standards. The aforementioned lack of charisma, and he’s much shorter than Trump.

She was waving at the crowd but she held the classic pose just too long to explain away.
Bend the elbow, keep the hand moving at the wrist. That’s how you greet a crowd.
