There is was, all right there on display. A rich guy who brazenly talks about buying politicians, "news" people who pretend to ask meaningful questions but don't follow up on obvious bullshit and a group of hollow shouting suits trying to win over the frothing masses who cheer for every meaningless talking point.
Everything wrong with the right was on stage for all to see. It was painful and sad to witness. It made it much harder to believe that these people can't possibly really exists.
