The CNN chyron writers are the only thing getting me through the #RNCinCLE tonight... And it's only Day 1. pic.twitter.com/9M2L0mSD1e— Beth Rader (@BethRader) July 19, 2016

Again, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III might not be the best person to put on the stage to talk immigration. But what am I saying. It’s the Republicans.
These speakers better hurry up, or Trump will already be on to his next wife before the current one gets to give her speech.

Sessions: "Donald Trump will kill Obama” … pause … “trade".
Guiliani. They must be doing their best to make anything Melania says sound good with this lead-in.
Rudy Giuliani’s first four sentences included four uses of the word “fear”.

Rudy G: Everything all right in Amereeka, if you are white in Amereeka.
Giuliani: “Unjustified [police] shootings should be punished,” just an hour after that four-star sheriff crowed about the Baltimore Freddie Gray acquittals to a cheering audience.
Rudy, Rudy. It’s too late now. Pence is the Veep pick.
Giuliani says we’re coming to get you. What d’ya mean “we,” Rudy?
Giuliani: he’s sick and tired of the Trump “defamation”! He’s REALLY sick and tired of it! The media and Hillary are defaming poor defenseless and innocent Donnieboy! So sick of it!
Funny thing is, Clinton’s campaign might be the first that is 100% based on just repeating what the other candidate says. IN CONTEXT.
Giuliani: “Blood! murder! fear! death!”
Every other speaker: “Blood! murder! fear! death!“
So much for Reagan’s sunny “morning in America” optimism, huh?

The modern GOP, were subtlety is for suckers. Giuliani: “THEY’RE COMING TO KILL US!” And yes, the use of all-caps is appropriate.
Rudy: “There’s no next election. This is it!” Wait … what?
Yep. Still going. Now with new thread.
