Official 2020 Republican National Convention Thread

Is this what the Republicans wanted? Just a bunch of people giving speeches? Maybe it will improve, but pretty f'ing boring so far, I thought they would try to provide some entertainment value to keep people tuned in.
 
I think the GOP has given up on trying to win any new converts. Everything now is about throwing red meat to the base and driving up the enthusiasm to get out and vote. If exaggerations, smears, and flat-out lies will do the trick, then so be it. Of course this convention is going to look like a shitshow to anyone who is not already "of the body", to use a cult term. It's not aimed at any of us, however. All the RNC and Trump cares about is how will it look to the faithful. I'm sure listening to Trump ramble and say crap like "if you really want to drive them crazy, say 12 more years!" is music to the ears of most Trumpites. Like nearly everything else associated with Trump and his GOP, this entire RNC is basically a troll job on liberals. That's what his followers love.

I think you nailed it. No other reason to start a convention with five speeches in a row by white people.

Did they have time and money to prepare for anything else? They a lot of both into Jacksonville.
 
Holy shit, this is straight up soviet-style utterly dishonest propaganda.
 
Did they put together that video of the states after they saw the Dem roll call? Cause I caught some of the Republican roll call earlier today, and everyone was in Charlotte in front of a backdrop.
 
Ahhh...all the criticism of Trump is because he’s not “nice” (like Biden) and because of his “style” (tough).



Uh huh.
 
Hold up so a Democrat who endorsed Trump was asked to leave the party because he was an "independent thinking Black American."

Nah dude. You were asked to leave the party because you endorsed the Republican president.
 
Thank God Trump was President when my kid’s school was shot up is an odd argument.
 
So is we should red flag bullies who own guns. Good argument but strange at the RNC.

Kimberly Guilfoyle has a weird face. Never noticed it before. Now she's just trying to take down her ex. California used to be great. Now it's just heroin needles.

So far it looks like they're giving convention hall speeches to nobody.
 
Again, at least half of these speeches are basically troll jobs on liberals. It's like putting Angus up there to give a speech. Say anything to own the libs and piss them off, and deliberately schedule speakers that will piss off liberals. You just know there are Trumpites watching all of this in Smallville, Kansas and similar places who are thinking to themselves "Oh, yeah, I bet those Democrats are going crazy seeing and hearing this! MAGA!"
 
So that week of optimism didn’t even last one day, it’s just hate and fear from the start.
 
...be very afraid of democommunists.

Indeed. They're sticking to the tried and true golden GOP oldies soundtrack for this campaign. Democrats are really just Communist/Socialist/Marxist/Radical/Far Left atheists from the sinful big city filled with all those weird and frightening non-white, non-native-born Americans who are going to raise your taxes and bankrupt the country for government giveaway welfare programs for worthless and lazy minorities and immigrants, and they're going to close down your churches and burn your Bibles and teach your kids in public schools to be ghey and lesbian. They're also overeducated college-degree snobs who look down their noses on Real Americans like yourselves just because we're god-fearin patriots who love and support Dear Leader! Oh, and they're also going to take your gunz! Vote Republican to stop this horror from happening!
