She gave a great speech.

Not a whole lot of warm and fuzzy with the Trumps. Lots of folks are like that....but she did fine.

No minds will be changed.

Nobody votes for the First Lady.

I agree she did fine and also agree that no one votes for the First Lady. Agree that it won't change anyone's mind.

The one dilemma she has (and it is Donald's fault, not hers) is that her anti cyber bullying efforts for our youth are viewed skeptically because of Donald Trump's ranting, crying and bullying on Twitter. Most people except his base call it out as hypocrisy and a double standard. She has really had to tone that down over the last couple years. I'm sure she is privately disappointed that he cannot pull himself away from Twitter for even a day or two.

Harris has a reputation as a *****, not Melania, she married rich. There’s a difference.

I am 34. I am mostly a lifelong Republican. I don't agree with much of anything happening politically today. Instead, I wrote this.

The RNC has screwed up.

I want to be optimistic, but things suck right now, so I want to hear a cogent plan to get us back to optimism and prosperity. I'm not hearing policy specifics and items that will be specifically targeted to improve anything in the RNC platitudes. I'm not hearing the rational thoughts (of what I thought my party was) of A+B=C, but bastardizations of everything where we have no clue of where we are today or where we are going.

I'm hearing a lot of racial BS (on both sides - and it's needless), incompetence, and a complete lack of vision.

"Morning in America.”

Republicans who come to seed optimism and prosperity - those days are dead, my friends. It's time to mourn "Morning in America." This is the time of "American Carnage." We've reversed course from optimism to pessimism.
We have gone from a nation of limitless possibilities to one of considerable restrictions and unlimited fear.

My Republican Party is dead. That shining beacon of sunny optimism - it's dead and gone.

Today, the Republican Party is a portal to a hopeless ideology - “we’re the only ones left and we're the last bastion" line of thinking.

The reality of the situation is that this world will persist without Republicans, Democrats, Americans, Chinese, Russians, etc.
We'll be long gone,, but the Earth will live. Eventually, natural processes will rule. We cannot and do not control nature. Any casual attempt to do so, looking at COVID and without the benefit of rigorous, tested, demonstrable science, almost always blows up in our faces.

This Republican Party is in a dark place, far from the shining city on the hill of a Buckley and far from the America with a smile of Reagan. We no longer offer hope. We have no understanding of nature. To me, God, if it exists, is understood by and through the natural world and, as a people, we are ignorant to all of this.

Biden is just the other guy. Trump offers a poor choice now. If Trump pissed off guys like me enough to vote for Biden, he is completely, and totally, out of luck. It's no "pro-Biden" vote. It's simply a vote for "the other guy."

You are wet behind the ears. I voted for President Ronald Reagan two years before you were an itch.

The Bushes all but destroyed the Republican Party and President Donald J. Trump brought it back.

But please don't vote for Trump. We don't need your vote.

Trump is the only politician with any balls. Unfortunately he doesn't have much in the way of qualifications to go along with those balls, but it's been better than the alternative. Not too many people respect Trump, but no one respects a mercenary after all.

You're a mere baby.

Also, any Republican that votes for Biden wasn't really a Republican to begin with.

Anyway, back to RNC 2020.

I'm astounded at how easily it appears we have accepted a political party using the White House as part of their National Convention.

Regardless of what words Mrs. Trump said, she said it standing in the Rose Garden.

Also surprised, though I shouldn't be really, that Secretary of State Pompeo is speaking at all, let alone from Israel.

Who's next?

Barr?
