Discussion: ‘I Feel Like I Am Living A Dream': The GOP Convention From The Inside

1 Like

No, it’s a bad acid trip. Y’all just don’t realize it.

““I would be one to know because I was a Cruz supporter, but as a Republican who is devoted to the progressiveness of our nation and moving past where we are now, all Republicans are going to come together and support the man who is going to lead us to a better, a safer, a more productive and a more honorable America and that is only Donald Trump,” said Texas delegate Cynthia Kline.”

Progressiveness? A. not a word, B. no you don’t get to steal Progressive or progress or any of its relatives.

This is all I can take for one day. Peace out, TPM.

“I feel like I am living a dream,” Rick Metzgar,
a member of Maryland’s state House of Delegates,
told TPM in the concourse of the Quicken Loan Arena.
"It’s going to be a tsunami.”

Except for the fact that it’ll be coming toward you Rick.

From the delegates point of view it sounds like a great time. Actually it sounds more like an old time Democratic convention. Republican conventions usually are a little more buttoned down.

From the outside looking it, it seems to be a real mess. Booing Mitch McConnell? Wow. The A team is on the sidelines. A collection of deranged underwear models, washed up sit-com stars and soap opera actors galore seems to have been hired to entertain the rubes.

Have fun kids. Conventions can be a great time.

That’s right. These people haven’t been on an acid trip in all likelihood. They don’t know when tripping how things can shift very quickly from seemingly good and fun to very very bad. But they might find out.

"It’s going to be a tsunami.”

So it is going to be a disaster?

Delegates were celebrating with peculiar and patriotic costuming.

While singing endless, heartfelt rounds of “Tomorrow Belongs To Me”.

“I’m in business, OK, and I speak for a living as one of the things that I do. All the best stuff is stolen and there is nothing original, so it’s all hocus pocus,” Rehrer said. “We’re supposed to share.”

So good to know! Why bother with copyrights…we’re all supposed to share, doncha know?

She absolutely must headline tomorrow! She’s obviously stolen the best words and fits right in with the theme of this years RNC convention- plagiarism.

It will be interesting to see what these people have to say in 6 months, after Trump takes a thrashing.

The hangover will be intense. I remember the blame and hate that was heaped on Romney after his loss. The GOP woke up and said, “What were we smoking? We nominated an out of touch white elitist man from the Northeast in a country with a growing minority population and a widening income gap…”

Enter Donald Trump…

A year from now, they’ll be heaping scorn on him, as if they didn’t put him there. They’ll need someone to blame (aside from Clinton, of course) and Trump will be the obvious target, as they forget once again to change the rhetoric and political positions that created him. They will react as if he’s some strange alien who hijacked their party, much in the same way that when the latest President Bush left office, hugely unpopular, they spent 4-8 years pretending like he wasn’t a member of their party, and that their congressional majorities hadn’t made his policy decisions possible.

I may need a break from these convention news.
Anger is beginning the seethe and bubble within me. November is far away, I can’t spend the next 4 months angry at Trump, his supporters and the complicitly irresponsible media.
This goes beyond being a democrat and supporting Hilary Clinton.

“And the motivation, the speaking motivationally as one of the best things I do, and well. OK? Many times I’ve given speeches all over the place. People, and I am too, are very impressed with my syntax, and the way I arrange the words, and the way when I say things, also,” Rehrer added. “Did I, I should, give you a business card, one of them, of mine. People, and I am too, are very impressed with, when I have a speaking style, they admire me when I present. I have been called very dynamic, and I am, with the best style too as well.”

There is always the last ditch explanation for this clown show. Trump is franchising How To Run For President. Don’t worry suckers this was just a dry run.

I can’t imagine how, but achieving buffoonery must be some kind of insanely addictive rush. Just once and they are hooked for life.
