Official republican convention thread

@Sknyluv

You’re right. Trump did earn that 60 million in loans from his dad. Spectacular businessman.

You can’t learn that kind of business savvy…You have to be born with it!!!

@Rodeo

Again I asked about Hunter Biden…what did he earn from his father’s connections after he obtained elected office? How much did the Obama’s warm after and as a result of having been president? How’s the Clinton Foundation doing since it’s donors learned he actually weren’t buying access to the White House?

Look, you’re not gonna get me to defend political nepotism on either side. But it’s crazy for Trump supporters to bring it up when you have Don, Eric, and Ivanka profiting off the presidency and not even being shy about it.

And Hunter? Last I saw he quit his lobbyist job to be a painter. Good for him I guess.

@Rodeo

Trumps kids were rich and successful before their dad became president. I m shocked a smartest guy in the room lefty can’t see the difference!

You think I’m the smartest guy in the room? Aww shucks. Thanks friend.

Hey… why is Mike Pompeo speaking from Jerusalem tonight?

@Rodeo

You will notice this thread has been dominated by the leftists on the board…they have focused on one or two speeches…

Walker’s not among them…you can tell that most of the night was really good since all these leftists want to talk about seems to be basically two speakers out of many.

Walker was great, his comment about not having a friendship of 37 years with Trump as a racist was powerful…so was Ambassador Haley…Guilfoyle did exactly what I expected from her she wasn’t as bad as they are making her out to have been…

Kim Klacik, the 38 year old African American woman running for Congress from Baltimore could have had a little more time to speak…what a compelling young woman. The woman crediting Trump’s Right to Try idea for the fact she’s still alive was moving…

The star of the night whom no lib has touched was Tim Scott. He could run in four years against Pence and Haley and maybe the Governor of South Dakota and he might get my vote. “From Cotton Fields to Congress” was the line of the night.

Personally I thought it was a helluvan opening night…there was more pro America pride and positive energy in one night than that entire anti American snooze fest of a week ago.

But far be it for me to interrupt a bunch of liberals confirming each other’s confirmation bias, which is pretty much all this thread has been.

They’ll do better tonite, I’m sure.

@SeaManatee

“I know how to improve the next day, what if everyone hated Democrats more?”

May I never hate anyone but…that doesn’t include actions. When I consider the destruction of Democrat led cities around the nation and their coordinated walk away movement of it, not punishing anyone for this mayhem, that just motivates this destruction even more…yes…I hate these actions/inactions.

Can we see this destruction of cities you speak of? Maybe aerial shots of all that destruction?

[SeaManatee]

It is what it is.

Hoo boy, I deferred watching last night and instead enjoyed some “Love it or List it” on HGTV. I think I made a wise call.

That seemed rather extreme, I thought they were going to attempt optimism.

Unless their version of optimism is “We are positive we will all die if Biden is elected!”

Silly stuff, glad I missed it. The highlights were enough this morning, just sipped my coffee and watched the abridged scream fest.

But I am glad if our Conservative brethren here enjoyed it, this show is obviously for you and not the rest of us.

Don’t worry…it’ll get better.

@GWH

They have to get in their dose of propaganda

Talk about irony.

If this morning’s posts reflect the wider base then Trump supporters relished last night’s feeding and are ready for seconds.

The convention reminds me of an Adderall commercial.

That was 5 years ago.

Still, he looked great.

Yes, point is this was rather recent. Who knows, he may even be in better shape now !

Wow, some great speeches. And such a diverse group of speakers.

And I like the focus on Trump saving so many lives with his early covid actions . They predicted 2 million would die, but his early action stopped that. So, he saved probably 1.5 million lives, while Nancy Pooplosi was inviting people to head to down town and hit the restaurants in the Homeless capital of the US…

I’m dizzy after reading that.

Pretty sure that’s the goal.

Well, that is probably going to make someone mad somewhere…

@GWH

Democrats want to continue to sell America out so the politicians’ kids can reap the benefits. It was pretty clear.

We’re not just shredding the Hatch Act, we’re setting it on fire and dropping it out of an airplane.
