**The Official** Republican Convention thread

[helmuth_hubener]

This convention is gonna be EPIC

That's actually probably true. Like, dislike, agree, disagree, or something in between, I think we'll all agree this whole election season has been interesting and norm-shattering beyond belief, and the convention in Cleveland is probably going to be quite a spectacle. Much more entertaining and unpredictable than a typical political convention. I almost wish I a) didn't have to work, and b) had a TV hookup, so I could watch.

Almost.

I hate whatever this is and want to hang myself listening to it. Mute on. I just hate this depressing blues or jazz shit.

Is this picture real?

If so, it appears a huge number of bikers have ridden out to Cleveland and set up camp, reportedly to keep the peace.

 

[Danke]

I remember we had these in 2012:

They are trying to force a roll call vote on the rules package.

Is this work of Hillary-Obama 2016 Peace Love Planters team?

Watch them do this, right before they change the requirement to 20 states or whatever:

Sorry, couldn't wait on Matt any longer.

I'm a bit disappointed, that Collins isn't on the convention agenda as a speaker

He earned that spot, and they kinda shafted him.

I'd imagine he must have had more crucial matters to attend to.

Can't wait for Scott Baio to speak.

That "the ayes have it" was questionable! Angry delegates!

Delegates scream "NO!" and "SHAME!" to adoption of the RNC rules as it's jammed through without a roll call vote.

 

[kahless]

Here ya go....this should be right up your alley.

Yep, I would take that over that crap they were playing.

Had to mute it again with that depressing organ.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Wow. They did it again!

"In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it."

 

[CPUd]

Did Priebus stagger up there and tell them "be respectful"?

Utah and Mike Lee leading a revolt. Trying to get a a recorded roll-call vote instead of the BS voice vote.

 

[CPUd]

Letting them have a floor vote, even if the rules pass, it would go a long way towards "unity".
