Woman Governor (whom Jon would tap in a heartbeat)

The governor thing was unnecessary. You already ticked the right box for Jon. Although I'm not absolutely sure about that.

[Axtremus]

Watching the RNC now.
Anyone else watching?
The program is ow touting how everyone else got COVID-19 wrong and how Trump handled it greatly.

[jon-nyc]

Any word about his Covid update ratings? I hear they were impressive.

The Republican Party concerning its platform:

https://prod-cdn-static.gop.com/media/documents/RESOLUTION_REGARDING_THE_REPUBLICAN_PARTY_PLATFORM.pdf

Basically the RNC resolved to not adopt any new platform in 2020. So it's either the 2016 platform continues to be in effect, or the GOP is not a party with no platform.

The resolution was attached to the 2016 platform, so may be they mean for the 2016 platform to continue to be in effect. Of course, in the 2016 platform, the GOP has some rather awkward bits, like multitude of grievances against the "current administration."

And Biden’s speech mirrored if not plagiarized his 2008 speech. Yawn,

I'd make a commercial out of Walker's speech. It was that good.

[George K]

I've watched only a bit.

Just like the DNC convention, it looks like an informercial.

"But wait! There's more!"

[Loki]

Nikki gave a very compelling speech.

[jon-nyc]

The Cuban guy was very good.

[Axtremus]

The RNC gives AOC a lot of airtime!

[jon-nyc]

They decided run against her instead of Joe. Can’t say I blame them.

[Larry]

The difference is like night and day. The kicked the democrats ASS tonight.

[Larry]

I don't expect any of the democrats here to see that though. If you had sense enough to see it, you wouldn't be a democrat to start with.

[jon-nyc]

So, is Jerry Falwell, Jr. still speaking at the Republican National Convention? Or is he just gonna sit in the corner and watch?

[Larry]

Bill Clinton spoke at the democrat convention, so that opened the door....

People do bad things. At least most Republicans at the party level will admit that and censure them in some way. Democrats will either celebrate them or ignore the transgression. That's a generalization, but contains lot lot of truth.

I was hoping for Nikki 2020, but will settle for 2024 I guess.

Donald Trump did bad things (e.g., while campaigning for office paid Ms. Stormy Daniels to keep silent regarding their extra marital affairs), the Republicans at the party level ignored the transgression and nominated him for the Presidency. This tells you your generalization is false. That “moral high ground” you think you are standing on is just a pile of excrement.

Where’s Kasich to you for 2024?

I'm sorry, but I think you've confused my high ground with your body.

I'm just amazed anybody could stack shit that high.

You know, I will be sad if Trump loses this election, since I feel Biden will be bad for the country.

I will, however, be actually overjoyed to watch some folks live through another four years of Donald J. Trump. It's good for people to have a purpose in life, but it's not good to have that purpose built on visceral hate. Perhaps they can find other purpose and meaning in their life, which is a good thing.
