2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWaiting for the Other Shoe to Drop...
So, what will the disaster be at today's RNC Convention? How can they top yesterday? Let's look at the possibilities:
During the Roll Call vote of the states, Never Trump delegates turn their backs to the podium.
Loud boos from the crowd when the nomination is announced.
Trump's son plagiarizes a Chelsea Clinton speech.
What else might happen to spoil The Donald's Big Night?
Your suggestions?

This is not just bad, it's the Plan Nine From Outer Space of political conventions. Definitive awfulness which becomes nearly sublime due to the purity of the wretchedness.

(37,428 posts)In a crowd of nominal Second Amendment fetishists with a platform of getting "tough" on anything and everything? When the money masters don't know what the fuck to do, and no one seems competent to do it?
I would be amazed if they can keep riots at bay, with the possibility of gunplay to make it so much worse.
