LOL

Although to be fair, I'm sure a speech writer wrote both.

Drumpf's acceptence speech was so horrendously bad that anything would be a huge improvment over it.

Sleepers don’t awake | Power Line

You couldn't script it worse.
I though Bill sleeping was funny, he has had to put up with that lying rag for many years, he only supports her so she will go away and leave him alone to chase children again.
He looks toothless as his mouth is always hanging open. Hopefully their phony charity is being investigated and both go to jail.
Whatever it takes, we can't let that corrupt old hag ever get near the WH again.
Go Trump, 2015, make America great again...

For voters, where you "fit in" couldn't be more clear based on these two conventions.

DNC was inspiring, optimistic, warm, inclusive... Stirred up a real feeling of belonging...

RNC was gloom and doom, violent imagery, and awash with fear and pessimism...

Lowlights from the RNC:

....that shrill, insane fascist sociopath rudy guliani railing at creation... Stomach turning...

...an announcement and cheers for the fact that no one would be charged with the death of man whose spine was broken while in police custody (because presumably it broke itself)...

...Media-baiting nazi salute by Laura Ingraham...

...Stupid plagiarism of the other party's first lady's DNC speech (followed by clumsy, ridiculous spin.. My favorite: evil robot & ex-shoplifter Katrina Pierson says: "This concept that Michelle Obama invented the English language is absurd" )...

...Ted Cruz booed (though I gained a little respect for him when he stood up for his wife and father in follow up interviews...)

... C-list celebs, including the clown below who is absolutely sure Obama is a muslim ...

the Democrat convention is more acting and staging and more Hollywood....everything was scripted and control.

they even control the Bernie people.

Drumpf?
I will be so glad when junior high starts up again this fall, and this "cleverness" just goes away.

I thought just the opposite.
Trumps speech was great, and Hillary's speech was horrible, boring, and there was not an original non-pandering thought in it.

Belonging to what, stupidity? Do you think all of the Bernie supporters who got screwed over and then kicked out felt warm and included?

As long as liberals continue to get their data and opinions from Comedy Central you won't see that stupidity and childishness go anywhere.

The DNC convention was a bunch of celebrities and politicians that live in gated estates with armed security and no fear of losing their job telling us how our eyes are lying to us when we see catastrophic problems with the country. The RNC convention was not great, but it at least acknowledged reality.

In my opinion, the conventions are stupid and unnecessary to begin with.
