Scenes From Cleveland’s Republican Trumpocalypse by John Avalon

"The Party of Lincoln’s convention has been reduced to an extended advertisement for the Trump Family brand and their odd entourage of D‑list celebrities, children and assorted sycophants acting as character witnesses for the candidate, while responsible Republicans do everything they can to flee the Cleve."

"Former Speaker of the House John Boehner is hanging out at an old school Italian joint, smoking Camels on the corner but declining to walk a few blocks to greet his party. "



Scenes From Cleveland


Avalon's summary is spot on. This is one weird political convention. Whether this convention is a wake up call or signals the demise of the GOP remains to be seen.

[quote=Old Gringo;44838731]Who?

Isn't she a washed-up soap opera actress?

Sounds like you are talking about crooked Hillary.

She is the unwashed, washed up, political soap opera actress. The villain with blood on her hands is rolled out as royalty awaiting coronation by her subjects. Only in Hollywood could such villain be celebrated. She is the Bonzo in Ronald Reagan's film "Bed Time For Bonzo".
Produced by Obama and he may even sing a remake of the Ramones song "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down".

You OK?

Trumpy got an out-of-work actress no one has heard of to give a speech?

Whoa. Scott Baio sounds like a superstar in comparison.

It is the theme of the convention "Make Us One". Well, it used to be a lot better, thus Trump wanting to make America Great Again. I am 61 years old and I remember when America was great, respected, a country to be proud of with opportunities, real opportunities. I saw race relations max out, I thought in the 60s, only to see the Democratic Party revive it in the last 8 years. People are seeing it as they open their eyes now.

I remember John F. Kennedy. I thought he was just all that as a child. I remember "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Boy, has the Democratic Party changed to a party of separate and conquer.

Yes, the country is coming together and that is being demonstrated in the meltdown of the two party system that is now in play. People are dropping labels and grabbing onto "We are ALL Americans." We are now fighting to save our country and that will unite us.
