I'm ready to go to bed to make sure I am rested for the first day of Convention. It's been a fabulous experience for me so far. All the hand wringing about unbound delegates..not so. All the angst about delegates fighting.. uh uh. Everyone in the Arizona delegation is getting along, we're all having a great time. Today we were invited to a special screening with Dinesh D'Souza to see his new movie "Hillary's America." It was interesting, it was more about the history of racism in the Democrat Party. Not sure how it's all going to play out, but it's in your face and can't dispute the facts. We had kind of a red carpet thing which was fun. I will try to post pictures. After the movie there was a big party thrown by Cleveland at the waterfront with free food and drink and fireworks. Got to meet people from all over the Country and check out the security. It is major security, long lines, but everyone understands. There is an inordinate amount of officers and volunteers. It's pretty amazing. Saw no protestors, not even anyone unhappy! I guess I'm lucky. The busses ran well...I'm having a ball. And the convention hasn't even started yet! I have spoken to people on the Rules Committee. It wasn't pretty, but they got it done. We hear the official platform is the most Conservative ever and people are pretty shocked at some of it. The convention starts at 1:00pm tomorrow. I am on a committee called "Permanent Organization" it's pretty much a formality, but still kinda cool. I have special credentials for it.
I am very excited for it all to start. Just wanted to let you all know that everything seems to be running smoothly and everyone, at least the ones I've encountered, is excited to nominate Donald Trump.
Oh, we also got some great swag!
This is so exciting. I’m all revved up for the start of the Convention tomorrow, and am ready to see how the whole event rocks and rolls. I hope you can provide us with lots of inside poop about what’s really going down at the Convention. You are our Freeper eyes and ears. Have lots of fun too. Just seeing Trump and his family in person would be so worth the price of admission. Go TRUMP!
Super!
Thanks!
Peoria? I'm moving there in two weeks. I guess I'll have to change my screen name.
Very cool report! Keep’em coming!
Keep the reports coming.
Nice photo! Thanks for posting and for keeping us informed :)
“So far so good”
Once heard a man fell off a tall building and he was saying just that all the way down.
Thanks for the update! So cool that you are the eyes and ears for FR.
Stay safe and have a great time. God bless the US.
Congratulations, Hildy, and I hope the rest of your week is just as successful!
:)
Great report! Looking forward to more!
Ditto.
Thanks for the update, Hildy. Glad everything is going well so far, but please stay safe.
Great to hear that it rained on the protesters this morning.
People will think you’re in Illinoise.
Great to have a FReeper on the inside for this one.
I am so happy we have someone there! I look forward to your updates and pictures, Hildy.
Terrific, Hildy! Keep those on-site reports coming, and I will ping them out!
Welcome to my town!
Cool! Sounds really interesting - can’t wait to hear updates
