**The Official** Republican Convention thread

[Danke]

Is Trumpster the realestate developer going to build a big beautiful hole or some other message you are trying to communicate?

If you post same message during suspected war criminals led DNC convention next week, there probably will be better resonance with current situation.

Most people would say those who sent them to harms way should receive the first call ... but did not hear a single voice in crowd today say Hillary's or Obama's name when question was asked.

This is the proper gif:

Reuters: Exclusive: Trump could seek new law to purge government of Obama appointees

If he wins the presidency, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump
would seek to purge the federal government of officials
appointed by Democratic President Barack Obama
and could ask Congress to pass legislation making it easier to fire public workers,
Trump ally, Chris Christie, said on Tuesday.

“As you know from his other career, Donald likes to fire people,”
Christie told a closed-door meeting with dozens of donors at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland,
according to an audio recording obtained by Reuters and two participants in the meeting.

Trump's transition advisers fear that Obama may convert these appointees to civil servants,
who have more job security than officials who have been politically appointed.
This would allow officials to keep their jobs in a new, possibly Republican, administration,

"One of the things I have suggested to Donald is that we have to immediately
ask the Republican Congress to change the civil service laws.
Because if they do, it will make it a lot easier to fire those people,"

Trump has previously vowed to eliminate the EPA
and roll back some of America's most ambitious environmental policies,
actions that he says would revive the U.S. oil and coal industries and bolster national security.

Christie added that the Trump team wants to let businesspeople serve in government part time
without having to give up their jobs in the private sector.
Trump frequently says he is better equipped to be president because of his business experience.

Nixon didn't get much of a chance but Trump might one day stand taller in De-Evolution than even Lincoln.

Trump once called Carson pathological and compared him to a child molester. His speaking on Trump's behalf shows how disgusting politics is.

Felt sorry for Alaska totally thrown under the bus in a power move by the RNC, it wasn't like those few votes were going to change the result anyway, shades of 2012 for no reason.

Makes me mad because I remember them doing that to Ron Paul delegates then too, so stupid, and very disrespectful.

They were only 20 or 30 Cruz trolls. Everyone else was on the Trump Train!

Theyre concern trolls. They pretend they were all in for cruz but really they were anti trump and wanted an establishment pick.

GOP leadership is greatly diminished lately.. and even demoralized post Iraqi freedom Wars.

Hopefully next week anti-war Dems would show some good leadership examples to restore our credibility in the world.

Amash thinks Mitch & Ryan & Boehner are okay.

They are saying Iowa has 30 bound delegates...

Iowa 30 Trump, that's bull$#@!.

In case of Iowa its correct I guess. Cruz wasn't nominated from the floor, was he? In case that only one candidate is nominated from the floor at the convention, Iowa state party rules say that the whole delegation is bound to him.

 

[CaptUSA]

This whole convention thus far has been a complete borefest. Can I buy a policy distinction??? Perhaps a riveting intellectual oration?

Hell, I'd even settle for motorcycle cages with fire rings.

Just another broken Trump promise. One more con job. "This convention will be the greatest - it will be unbelievable!"


Literally. When Trump says, "unbelievable" he means, "You should not believe this".

Yeah, they came back later and said Iowa, DC and a couple other state parties had reallocation rules.

So far, during the event where they have the best opportunity to show the nation what the party is all about, they show they are the party of "not Hillary". I get the value of red meat, but if that's what they plan to run on, they will fail harder than Mitt in 2012.

It should have been a circle jerk with Paul Ryan doing non stop powerpoint presentations on how many fractions of a percent his budget plan was going to outpace Clinton's. I mean non stop for the whole week.
