The Texas 'surprise' may not be a good one. Cryptic comment implying Dan Patrick is doing something about it.

I'm not watching either.  I'm just going to focus on 2020.

Four years from now.  Do you really think we're going to see another election??  Given what has just happened to you really think ANY vote matters?  The fix was in from the beginning for both Clinton and Trump; one in the same. 
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Seemed like there was a gasp / groan in the Crowd.

That sound was Trump sucking the life out of the GOP.  RIP.

What I don't understand is why people can't see the disaster avalanche rumbling downhill at us.

No one believed Cassandra, either.

Weren't all of Trump's kids registered to other (non-Republican) parties?  How is one of them a member of the NY Republican delegation?

Anyone looking to political parties, this government, or their courts to preserve and protect the Constitution and the liberty bequeathed to us from our Forbears, are looking in the wrong place and will end up slaves or dead in the near future.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

They weren't delegates. Not all speakers are delegates, many times they have special guests from the State.

Man I gotta read this bellyaching all night? Calm down people. We all knew Trump was the nominee.

This place is a real bummer sometimes.

Meanwhile the media is cheerfully loading up with ammo packs and are ready to lay siege to Camp Trumptanic.

They're gonna unleash hell like we've never seen before.

I'm just glad I'm a spectator.

The first speaker from New York introduced him as a member of the delegation. Small point, was just curious, probably not worth pursuing.

Sometimes this place is like the TOS.. The best thing to do is vote GOP Down ticket, which I'm planning on doing.
Join The Reagan Caucus: https://reagancaucus.org/ and the Eisenhower Caucus: https://EisenhowerCaucus.org

Ronald Reagan: “Rather than...talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems and make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit…earning here they pay taxes here.”

No one is holding a gun to your head.  Don't read it if you can't emotionally handle the truth.

What truth? I've pretty much resigned myself to Hillary as next President. If Trump surprises me, good on him.  :shrug:

I was planning on pulling the lever for Trump even though I completely despise him, but what has transpired at the convention the last couple of days made me change my mind.  I am sick of the corruption.  It is pretty obvious to me that Trump has been a stalking horse for Hillary all along anyway.
