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!
I am so glad you are there Hildy. Keep us posted and I hope you have a terrific rest of the week!
Thanks for the report, Hildy!
So glad to have your first hand insight.
Sounds like the cryptoDemocrats who call themselves "Republicans" need a whuppin.
Thank you for the report.
Thank you for the awesome report, Hildy!
That is very good to hear. People who came to understand the real Donald Trump and not the one the leftist culture, pushed by the enemedia and later by Cruz, was far more conservative than they wanted the American people to know. It was really sad to see some conservatives here fall for the left's antics but at least now they can see, Trump is the real deal with what you are reporting on how conservative the party platform is.
Really good news that can give us all hope, stay safe.

Awesome report and photo! Please keep us updated...
Thanks for the update.
well done! Prayers for your safety and look forward to great reporting. I’ll bet there are a few more FReepers present as well as lurkers.
Yes yes, so nice to read first hand reports, not from the Media! Please post as much as time permits from your busy schedule at the convention.
Hi Hildy! Glad you are there and having a great time! If you have a ping list for your convention reports, please put me on it!
Outstanding. Thank you so much for being FR’s eyes and ears at the convention.
Have fun!
Technical question. I looked it up. Since you got the most votes in your CD to be a delegate, is there any special privilege to that or thong you a part of?
Cool
