Ernst seems to be allergic to the word “Trump”.

[nutmeg]

Thanks for hosting this thread. Love the Trump/Pence graphic!

[Jane Long]

Joni Ernst is sure full of her own self. :(

[luvie]

US Rep. Ryan Zinke, Montana, I believe. He is last on the YouTube list.

[exit82]

Oh, she finally mentioned Donald Trump!

[nopardons]

Many thanks...I really like that dress and have a wedding to go to, that that would work for, IF it comes in a color other than white or black.

It will be the talk of the town & unattainable! That will drive the Dims crazy to have such a fashion savvy future First Lady.

I remember when FR used to have a ping list for Mooch's fashion obamanations. It was great fun, 'til TPTB decided it was too disrespectful and we had to stop.

[djstex]

Dummy is what he is. That’s why he only got one state! ;)

Melania should have been the last speaker. Flynn and Joni Ernst and the other speaker from Montana coming up should have spoken before Rudy.

[Jane Long]

Ernst on Ernst 😴

INDEED she is...another reason, she is WAY above her paygrade and she has already been drinking the DC Koolaid since her election. Do not be fooled, folks!

[luvie]

I like her.

A lot of speakers crammed in tonight (about 25!)

The next three nights will have more around 15. So I think we'll be done by 11PM next three nights.

[nutmeg]

I agree. It bothers me that so many people seemed to have left the venue right after Melania spoke. The next speaker may be speaking to an empty room.

[djstex]

Yes! Excellent line up for speakers!!

[Jane Austen]

I heard that Matthews mocked Patricia Smith, don't know if he did it. I thought she was wonderful, very moving.

Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace and Brit Hume all praised Melania, said she was terrific. I agree.

[rainee]

Was just thinking same but Flynn got better.
Melania did great and very genuine, likeable. She’s an obvious beauty but proved she was so much more than just a pretty face.

[nutmeg]

And Fox News cut off Gen. Flynn just as his speech ramped up. Glad I have C-SPAN.

[Chgogal]

His speech was so very good and so very important.

Boy, he is pissed. The stuff he knows must scare the heck out of him.

Very scary.
