I have been watching this convention for several days now, and having been a political junkie since I was a kid, I feel qualified to say it is one of the most fake conventions I have ever seen. With few exceptions, these speakers seem forced and inauthentic, as if they know they are trying to put lipstick on a pig. Pence was an exception, and there have been a few others. If they are trying to get me fired up they are failing miserably.

Trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear seldom works!

"Proud to be gay, proud to be a Republican, proud to be an American!"

Something I thought I'd never heard at a GOP convention. How did that go over at TOS I wonder?

Glad to see you back in the land of the living. I'm surprised you're not levitating from all the prayin' that went on for you!

He did spit up some pea soup in the hospital.

Seems odd to marvel that Trump kids aren't a mess. They had every possible advantage. What about marveling at single moms with great kids?

They leave out the fact that Trump didn't raise them...

There is a rather striking picture on that other live convention thread of Ivanka in white noting that she would be up as I speaker at 9:00pm. I opined that she was up long before 9:00pm and the post was promptly deleted

Same here. BTW, I'm glad you stayed.

Yeah, was given some nice assurances. So a second try.

Got to be true to my values, and that includes forgiveness.

After all, in the beginning I was defending King Orange because I believe people can change.

I have nothing against Ivanka. She seems to be a beautiful, intelligent person with a good head on her shoulders and common sense. The apple fell far from the tree in that family in other words.

As long as Trump's the guy he's supporting, that's all that matters now.

Come to think of it, between him, Jim Hoft, and Milo Y. (not even going to bother trying to remember how his name is spelled), Trump seems to be surrounded by quite a few gay "supporters." If there's a velvet mafia, it seems to be lining up pretty solidly behind Trump.

My gaydar goes off with Stone and possibly Corey too. Or is that just me?

However, she is still her father's daughter and his closest confidant. I would not trust her any farther than I could throw her.

I find it kind of Ironic that Milo is permanently banned from twitter and he supports a candidate who supports internet censorship.

You got that right. Trump only serves his narcissistic pathologically dishonest ego, while his followers rush full speed ahead towards some Final Solution.

Trump: Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?

And you know the rest.

Me neither, personally I think criticism of the kids in particular is off limits, but unfortunately if your father says he would like to date you when you were just 16 it regrettably makes the kid a target

There were stories early in the campaign suggesting so.

True.

I don't think bad of the Trump sons either, necessarily. I just find their Gordor Gekko motif bizarre.

For those of you scoring at home.... Next up Ivanka Trump.
