I know what he said was great,he's been going to the republican conventions all his career and supports Trump for an immediate change in this Country! To kind of Sum it up.

[CAluvdubya]

Just heard him (Kirstol). He makes me spitting mad! Trump doesn’t need to walk back anything to please this idiot!

[RayofHope]

Thanks Jane, it is good to be back with my wonderful FR friends!

[CottonBall]

Thank you!

[djstex]

Thanks for the ping. I just watched the rules replay at the convention. Hopefully didn’t miss any big speeches.

[Jane Long]

Beautiful!!!

Thanks.

What a revolting man Bill Kristol is.

It's time to take the Republican Party away from the Beltway insiders and return it to the people. Kristol, Romney, Ryan & Co. need to go find another sandbox to play in.

[hoosiermama]

So funny.
Hope we get to see Barron sometime during the convention

[Right_in_Virginia]

Funny! :^D

[MayflowerMadam]

We are here #Cleveland @realDonaldTrump and Melania giving the first interview on the ground to @MLauer #Trump2016

[FenwickBabbitt]

Yeah, it was great seeing Dole on CSPAN support Trump so totally and say how we need strong leadership. Dole sacrificed a lot for this country in WWII, and he knows how much we need Trump in there for the sake of the nation.

[nascarnation]

Is that the noxious twit Matt Lauer? Ugh...

[SamAdams76]

You are in luck. The speeches don't begin until around 8PM and considering the sheer number of speakers, they are going to have to be fairly quick (about 10 minutes each) or we are going to be here until the wee hours of the morning.

We are already over 1,100+ posts on this thread. I would like to see us at 10,000+ by the time Trump gives his acceptance speech Thursday night!

[proust]

That is not Donald Trump’s Twitter. Look closer.

[STARLIT]

I love Donald’s humor!

[bray]

Levin is whining about losing their overthrow of the vote for Saint Cru. He is the grassroots candidate and was thwarted by the leadership. He never complained when they rigged Wisconsin?

[RayofHope]

"My wife Melania spent last 6 weeks preparing for her #gopconvention speech. Trying to find something positive to say about me.Wish her luck!"

It is going to be great to have a president with a real sense of humor!!
