Day 4 tonight. This is it!!!!
Question...
How many here think that many of the speakers are a hint and a trial run for cabinet positions? Aka, Cristie AG, Rudy Homeland, Flynn GCofS, etc etc.
But last night may I dare say one more, and many of us have been suggesting it for over a year and that is Laura Ingraham as Press Secretary
I re-watched it this morning via YouTube.
Oh my..., can't you just see her beeotch slapping anyone who gets out of line if she was behind the podium at the WH.
The video here for those that didn't see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2lSOx2R5cU
Can we please have ONE night without controversy or some technical malfunction!!! this is looking terrible!!
Good Morning!
Good morning, Nikos!
What a night last night.
Well, Trump pegged Lyin’ Ted all those months ago.
Trump knows people.
Gave Cruz a moment to shine, even to set up for the future.
If Cruz endorsed, Trump looks magnamimous.
If Cruz did not endorse, Cruz commits political suicide.
Either way, Trump would win.
Lyin’ Ted did not disappoint—he could not say four words for the good of the Party and the good of the country:
I endorse Donald Trump!
HA! Trump knew he couldn’t do it, and gave Lyin’ Ted the rope to hang himself.
After today, Ted will be old news.
He’ll serve two more years in the Senate and not get re-elected. His perfidy will not be forgotten.
Anyway, Pence is live on Fox and Friends right now!
Trump will knock it out of the park tonight!
So far we have 8,948 replies on the live convention threads this week. We will easily have 10,000+ by the time Trump accepts the nomination tonight.
Having watched political conventions since 1972, this was definitely the most fast-paced one I’ve seen with prime time speakers popping out of the wings in rapid fire succession, one after th other. Have also not seen a convention where so many family members of the nominee have gotten up to speak. What an all-star crew the Trump children are. You have to wonder how Ivana and Marla are taking this (with Melania getting the spotlight). At least they are not causing Donald any grief.
Thanks, Nikos, for keeping us on track every day!
Good morning all!
Thank you nikos for this wonderful thread...as always!
I just can’t wait to hear Trump tonight....
God bless Trump and the USA.
Thank you.

Booked marked so I can follow. Hubby won’t watch it, will just vote.
Post protesters photos please.
Cruz speech ended around 10pm. By 2am, received Cruz fundraising appeal. 'This fight has never been about a particular candidate.'

Thanks for the ping and see you all tonight.
Cruz extending his speech this morning and refuses to endorse Trump because he maligned his father and wife. Just now.
I’ll just say watching Cruz again this morning convinces me more what a deeply disturbed jerk he is.
His presser is more of the same.
Texas Delegate just said this election is not about you but about America! Ted answer said it’s personal.
Ted isn’t nothing more than a petty small bitter man.
Okay! Sorry that’s it.
Trump is the main topic for our future.
Morning nikos and all, the final day and on to victory in November. Many excellent speeches yesterday. Thought Pence came across as a real down to earth, loving and caring individual.
Today is market and doctor day, we leave early as it is an hour drive to Ridgecrest. Will be back to catch this evenings gala..........
good morning and Nik and all my fellow passengers on the Trump Train
Nik, I so do appreciate you starting the 4 convention threads with some interest. Not just a Heading as so many major thread posters do. If you want to start up an important thread give it a little thought and put in something of substance. You have been doing this for us throughs the primary season with wonderful rally threads. MANY THANKS
I read most of the thread last night and finished it this AM. Misc thoughts.
I was one of the many who started supporting Ted and also with $$. When Trump entered I saw a refreshing change. I knew immediately he was my man. I had already however signed up for many state groups in the Cruz arena and never stopped getting email and other contacts.
Last night was interesting. We know how many of the cruz supporters wanted him as VP. I think that DJT wanted to put him right in front of Pence to show the contrast in the two. He did well with that strategy. IF he had denied Cruz an opportunity for a time slot there would have been an outcry of “shutting out Cruz”. He gave him the rope to do whatever.
I have always felt you do NOT reward bad behavior. Be it with your children, as a teacher, as an employer and surely not in politics. Cruz, Bush, Kasich, Romney should NOT be given the time of day at this point, yet alone any significant (or insignificant) nod for a federal position. There are many very good GOPers in the background.. they deserve the chance. We don’t need backstabbers in this administration. Cruz was so admired by me at one time.
I look at the love affair of many with him. I think of my own marriage. I was married 22 years. It should have been 6 months. I was in denial. Emphasized the good. Was blind to the horrific and what it was doing to me as a person. When I was suicidal and sought help, I discovered how I had been lying to myself. It took a LOT of over come this. (and I was a counselor myself)
Cruz has good points as did my ex. so do a lot of unsavory people. To say I am disappointed with him is an understatement on so many levels.
Am I impressed with Cruz in the Senate. No. I am NOT IMPRESSED with any of our GOP elected.(maybe Trey Gowdey an exception). They are all talk and have allowed Obama free reign and all they do is talk. We have Executive orders, bad deals, Czars, terrible programs. That obnoxious leader should be in prison right now not still putting forth his filth and destroying our government. Our elected GOPe has NOT done the job we the electorate expected. Have hey all been bought off, blackmailed, frightened in other ways to have NO SPINE OR BALLS?
I think the ultimate shock would be that Cruz be selected as Hill’s VP. Someone mentioned last night that Goldman sachs may have been very influential in his NON endorsement. I think that is a consideration and a very big reason why we so much appreciate The Donald and his lack of financial obligations
I am working more and weird hours. Miss the regular posting I was able to do this winter/spring when living at hotel. I will be working at hotel tonight 7-11. HOPING it will be quiet enough to go to breakfast room and watch on TV. I am pretty sure we just have networks.. any recommendations?
I had a few opportunities to floor passes to convention. Dang work. Last night I was off but no floor pass. Figures
Love/hugs from NE Ohio
