RNC Convention Day 1 Commentary

I didn’t. This from a summary in Reason magazine:
In his RNC speech, there were plenty of scapegoats. To highlight just a few:
"NAFTA, a bad trade deal that sent countless good jobs to Mexico."
"From Iraq to Afghanistan, from the financial crisis to the Great Recession, from open borders to stagnating wages, the people who govern this country have failed and failed again."
"Wall Street barons crashed the economy, and American builders went out of business."
"Thanks to these policies that [President Joe] Biden and other out-of-touch politicians in Washington gave us, our country was flooded with cheap Chinese goods, with cheap foreign labor, and in the decades to come, deadly Chinese fentanyl."Literally all of those were Bush Administration (1 and 2) initiatives and/or failures. But he blames Biden?

Yeah I watched two thirds or more of it. I noticed the same; pinning Bush admin initiatives and follies on Biden.
The guy could easily shoe horn himself into provincial politics here with the UCP. Opportunist. Like Jolly said, a big tipi booster.
His yak leaves me cold. Will wait and see how he fairs as VP to Trump

Mike Johnson has been about the only politico to impress me so far
If you want a firebrand, he ain't your guy. He is conservative and a fundamentalist Christian, but he's got a pragmatic streak. He will compromise on some issues and he will try to work across the aisle.
I’ve got no problem with pragmatism.
Having Teamster President addressing a party dedicated to right to work has my hackles raised, though., I will carefully be going over the platform.
I have a hunch that we’re finally seeing the actual Trump that I was concerned about and voted against in 2016.

Yeah, you think he's a dictator.
Drink. Drink deeply...

Trying to decide who to vote for by watching conventions is like deciding what beer to buy based on TV commercials.

Oh Lord, I just watched the Kid Rock performance. That was HI-LARIOUS!!!
The Brad

Here we go, I’ll watch…

I like his praise of the Secret Service despite the concerns…
-
And now praising the crowds for not running or stampeding…

90 freaking minutes. My God. That's almost an entire Scaramucci.

"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Wasn’t as hilarious as the Kid Rock song…

Hulk Hogan fans?
If you listen to all the screaming from the audience, likely most of the convention attendees think it's a good idea.
It's a new Republican thing, you will probably never understand.

Who had Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan, and a mention of Hannibal Lecter at the RNC convention on their bingo card?

Yes, that was excellent. Kid Rock meets The Golden Girls.
