It’s the Republican’s convention
this week. Time to make the parties presidential pick (the pee, pee and pee,
which is odd since it’s all a load of excrement) official. Since it looks like
it will be Trump/Pence, the TP’s covered like the house of a teacher no one
likes. It’s also time to see which party elites will get on board with “The Donald”.
So far, the unifying theme: anyone but Hillary. The Never Trump movement did try
to get some traction on day one and force a rules vote. However, behind the
scenes political maneuvering killed that dead in its tracks. (Ok, enough with
mixing and torturing metaphors. Bad writer!)
What
can I say about the Republican convention? Snore comes to mind. Like many, I
was hoping for some drama. Fistfights on the floor and Preacher Cruz (I mean,
doesn’t Senator Ted Cruz sound like a southern televangelist?) trying to pull a
rope-a-dope and steal the nomination through political favors. At this point
I’d settle for a little mayhem and malarkey. (I just wanted to use malarkey in
a sentence.) I do think we haven’t heard the last from Preacher Cruz. Regrettably,
whatever he pulls out his ass will amount to nothing more than political
theater, and not very entertaining.
There are plenty
of protests outside the venue and the Never Trump movement tried to make a
scene on day one. Unfortunately, conservatives just don’t have the same level
of passion as liberals. Not to mention the violence. Former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliana
did do a reasonable impression of Howard Dean and screamed his speech. Not sure
why he chose to deliver it that way. His speech was all about respecting law
enforcement. I guess speeches about that subject need to be screamed at us like
a swat team yelling commands as they execute a raid. Who knew?
After day one of
the convention, the best the opposition could say was that Melania’s speech was
similar to First Lady Michelle Obamas’ 2008 speech and hint at plagiarism.
Mountains out of mole hills, people. On a side note: I will now refer to “The
Donald’s” wife and Melanoma. I’m a busy person with shit to do. I’m not
stopping to try and remember how to pronounce her name correctly. That seems to
be the big news, speech plagiarism that is, not my nickname for “The Donald’s”
wife.
It doesn’t
matter that the theme for day one was “Make America Safe Again”. All the
speeches revolved around this theme. Although, I think, given the recent
violence against police, they meant “Make Police Feel Safe Again”. If they want
that to happen, it’s probably best the police stop murdering, on camera, (not
that I’m saying they should do it off camera) black people. It does look like
the new normal is retaliation. Simple math here, police murder black people and
some of the less savory among the black population murder police. I’m not
condoning violence on either side, but really, what do we expect to happen?
Check back
tomorrow for a recap on day two. The nomination of “The Donald”? Maybe we’ll
get a little drama out of that process. Preacher Cruz is scheduled to preach; I
mean, deliver a speech. And where is former Republican Speaker of the House John
Boehner when we need a crier? I’m just saying!
As always,
that’s just my opinion. You could be wrong!
