No doubt. I scrolled over to other places during my lunch and the talking point about the young man (Braydon?) is that the DNC is exploiting him for his disability and Biden doesn't have a stutter or they would have heard it before.

I still can't believe these yahoos have something worthwhile to say at the RNC other than "we should be worried about black people."

On a side note, please steal my idea to go to Halloween parties (if they occur this year) as this couple. But only for parties not walking down the street. The no shoes & extra long khakis for him is a key component of the costume.

Serious question: what percentage of Republicans will actually watch the convention?

Better question: what percentage of undecideds will?

I suspect the RNC could have high school AV production value and Trump's speech could be the word "covfefe" a thousand times and it wouldn't change anything.

Fox and OAN would just talk about how great it all was and how Biden would confiscate all guns, give free houses to 10,000 new illegal aliens every day, and make abortion mandatory for all white women.  And the Redneck Mob would believe it all.

This convention is zero risk to them.  They have their horde under complete control.

100x this.  Which is what scares me most about the upcoming election. They aren't even pretending to court votes from outside their cult.  They are unwatchable and vile at this point to anyone outside the cult. They know the people's preference doesn't actually matter.

Just like Sandmann, the couple has had plenty of time to work on getting the events airbrushed, groomed, and everything spotless for viewing. I'm sure one of the campaign people has been working with them for awhile.

You could point out all of the flaws in this production and Fox News brain washed conservatives will say “ I don’t care! Better than some liberal Democrat who will tax me to oblivion, steal food off my families table, and let illegals take my house!”

literally nothing will get in some people’s way when it comes to “OWNING THE LIBS”.

 

sad and pathetic.

I mean, let's be real honest here--Stephanie Cutter and the Democrats did a really good job.  There were maybe some misses, but before that nobody knew what a virtual convention was supposed to look like.
Now that it's been done once, that kind of sets the expectations.  And that bar is actually pretty high.  If they have the technical difficulties that the Texas GOP had doing their convention, or if they roll out there with what looks like a Zoom call, then it's going to be a pretty stark contrast to the Democrats.
And there's real danger to that.  Biden's whole argument is that Trump is incompetent.  If Trump and his people can't put together a decent convention, then it'll only underscore the point.

Wait - you’re saying Kodak won’t put on a good convention??

I've got to tell you, I'm probably going to tune in the first night just to check out the production value.  Because I fully expect this to be a shitshow.

The Trumpublicans didn't have a lot of time or money to put this together.  The Dems knew their convention was going to be virtual for months.  But the Trumpublicans have been holding on to the idea that they were going to have an in-person convention.  And they already spent a metric ass-ton of money, first in Charlotte and then in Jacksonville.

And, on top of all that, the rumor is that Kushner is doing much of the production and they're making changes/deciding what they want to do only now.

Expand  

The Dems have a great advantage over the Republicans: they aren't pretending that everything is normal.  Because of this, the Dems were able to create something different.  The Republicans will likely just shoot for imitation of normalcy, which will come across as cheap and forced.

Since I didn't see this topic, thought it was time.

Here's what's on tap thus far:

Monday, August 24: Land of Heroes

Presidential Nomination by delegates

Tuesday, August 25: Land of Promise

Speaker: First Lady Melania Trump

Wednesday, August 25: Land of Opportunity

Speaker: Vice President Mike Pence

Thursday, August 26: Land of Greatness

Speaker: President Donald Trump

 

The other speakers I listed from Ballotpedia haven't been assigned slots yet AFAIK, but they are below. The list was last updated on the 19th. I'm sure they will add more now that they've seen the DNC.

Abby Johnson

Sen. Joni Ernst (Iowa)

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.)

Patricia and Mark McCloskey

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem

Andrew Pollack

Nick Sandmann

Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.)

 

 

Don't know if they will plan on any "celebs", John Legend was fine in every sense of the word last night (not the bland fine I'm talking about here, say it sloooow) and if they trot out James Woods I will fall off the couch from laughing. The vibe will be completely different of that I am sure.

The Utter Wrongness of the Fake News? I'm speculating it's something along those lines. Trump is fond of declaring Witch Hunts and this situation would lend itself to that without a lot of work.

It's a good lead in for the explanation of why people should never watch or read anything of which the Party does not approve.

Y’all are missing the point. 

The RNC will likely be shitshow and the trumpkins will seal clap and hur hur and that will happen no matter what they do, even if Trump shits his pants as the grand finale. Who fucking cares what they think. 

The DNC convention was excellent, was way above my expectations and the dem supporters would have support it anyway no matter what happened.

The target audience is the malleable voter who is either normally a dem supporter but doesn’t really like Joe or is normally a republican supporter but doesn’t rally like trump, or doesn’t know jack shit about any of it. That’s maybe a good 20 percent of the population and the conventions affect those people.  Maybe you get them to vote for you, or most likely you get them not to vote at all. That’s the key.

Trumps speech will no doubt focus on how shitty everything is right now, because of Obama.

He will then argue that everything will get even worse in the future, because of Joe.

He will argue that the darkies are going to take over your homes, the democrats want to eat your children, abort your babies without your consent, and so on and so on.

It will be the darkest speech in the history of politics, ever. And that’s going back to the Middle Ages and before. It will be simply unprecedented. 

And in a sense he will be right, because he caused all that. He has killed thousands of Americans, bankrupted the country like he did all his other companies, and sown division and chaos in a country he inherited that used to be great and has single handedly caused disrespect for our country all over the globe. He caused the darkness, the chaos, the suffering, the evil. Because that is what he is. 

He hasn’t destroyed it yet. But given another 4 years, he will. And everyone who has opposed him will be marked for destruction, maybe even those who post on this board against him.

He is simply that evil.

I believe that it is possible that even with incredible voter turnout he will still (through crooked means) win the election. Certainly happened in Belarus and Putin is taking care of that quite handily. When rank and file officials quit in disgust over the obvious rigged election, he simply flew in Russians to take their place. Difference here between their protestors and ours is simply more weaponry all around. 
 

But really I don’t believe Trump can physically  last four more years. He’s too far gone. They been covering for him but it’s getting a lot harder and four years is too long to outrun the brain decay. The truly evil part is that it won’t matter. If he wins it’s over. They can put anyone in that spot. The academics, the journalists, the ethical officials, all gone in one form or fashion. The marginalized POC will stay trapped in the cycle of paying for their own incarceration in shitty neighborhoods, schools, and prisons unable to escape the overwhelming unspoken fees they are assessed for the color of their skin. The police will have a broader pool in which to swing their clubs. Women will be pushed to the side to be the decorative set pieces they were created to be. It’s a rich white man’s world baby, isn’t America great again?

It would be one thing if Kushner succeeded in whatever shitshow Trump sticks him on at least occasionally. But he appears to be every bit as incompetent as his fucktarded father in law. His sole qualification appears to be fucking Ivanka, which must make him a God in dotard's mind.

  Quote

The Republican National Convention opens in just two days, but planners have yet to provide a final schedule or other key details about what will take place during the gathering that will culminate in the nomination of President Donald Trump for a second term.

Officials have confirmed the identities of a dozen or so convention speakers, but not when they will be speaking, where they will be, or what they will be talking about.

Expand  

 

  Quote

Convention planners haven’t officially announced that Trump is giving his acceptance speech from the White House, though the president himself has confirmed it.

Even aides to the Senate’s top Republican, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, seemed confused about whether he would have a convention speaking role. McConnell’s re-election campaign said Thursday he would be campaigning in his home state and would not be speaking at the event. Hours later, a campaign source said there had been “a miscommunication” and that the senator would submit taped remarks to be played at the convention.

Expand  

 

  Quote

McConnell's off-again, on-again appearance at the convention underscores the chaotic nature of the short-term planning for a complex event that has been moved from two cites over a period of two months, all under the shadow of the pandemic, officials said.

“The airplane has been put together in mid-air, and it is much less organized than normal,” said Dan Eberhart, an energy company executive and GOP donor who is familiar with the convention planning.

Expand  

 

  Quote

There are many reasons for seeming chaos, officials said, including Trump's insistence on approving most decisions  [note: What could go wrong?] and the egos of people who want prime-time speaking slots.

“You’ve got many senior Republicans who have higher approval ratings than Trump, and so that’s playing into who wants to be seen at the convention and who doesn’t,” Eberhart said.

Why are they not in jail for pointing weapons at people?

There were several people encroaching on their property.  Again, I don't know Missouri state castle law doctrine...but I would contend that almost nobody on this board had an issue with them brandishing weapons.  We just don't think it rose to the level of an RNC keynote invitation.  Had the beetlejuice-festooned wife known how to better handle her weapon, at this point in the Republican, she'd probably be up for Sec. of Defense once Esper gets inevitably shitcanned.

I don't think Melania's son is going anywhere near the RNC. I'm sure Trump would have no problem using Barron if he thought it would get him elected but I don't see them doing that, especially since they have the Covington Catholic guy.

Some of the right wingers have been saying they like her better than Pence. She may step in it, but these folks just grift another pair of shoes and gullible folks forget about it. I never thought Oliver North would reappear, or some of the other folks over the last decade but here we are.
