Hi guys. I am so sorry I haven't been checking in. I've been writing articles for my hometown newspaper, posting on Facebook and my new favorite thing, going LIVE on Facebook. I just can't spend all my time with my face in my phone! (Everyone is doing it!).
There are so many cameras and microphones it is almost overwhelming. You just have to tap on a reporter's shoulder if you want an interview. It's crazy,
I just wanted to find out if you had any questions. When I get back at night and watch the news I wonder if they were really at the same convention I was. I was up right next to the stage when Cruz spoke. The booing was deafening. I have great pictures,. I will try to post some of them later. It was a fun emotional night.
I will look for them.
Yeah, is Cruz going to try to be Hillary’s running mate now?
Thanks for the reports!
On Social Media the consensus is that as Charles Krauthammer said, “it was the longest suicide note he has ever read.” Would this also be the feel on the convention floor, Sen.Cruz political career is dead?
His speech seemed to drone on and on and I wondered if the crowd was getting as restless as I about it.
Thanks so much for this thread. Your insight appreciated.
I would love to see pictures and read a full report when you get the time. Watching on Cspan, it seems a very happy and energetic crowd.
Yeah, I should have done a tiny URL.
Maybe hold up a sign that says, Hi FReepers!!!
Ha, ha....enjoy tonight!!
ME ME ME!!! is only one principle.
Thanks for the reporting!
Are most people really excited for Trump and supportive of him?
It’s been fun to watch the speeches!
C-span featured you in the audience at 10:05 tonight!!!
I screamed to my husband, “That’s HILDY!!!” then rewound and froze it. Yep, it was definitely adorable you!
You look terrific!
Thanks for this thread! Looking forward to more, and pics whenever.
Thanks for the ping and report. Am just now getting back on FRIDAY
Watched it all on Cspan and then flipped thru cable programs after the speech.
So glad to see Barron there. My goodness he is already up to his parents shoulder and he’s just turned ten.
Get some rest Hildy you’ve earned it
Thank you! I have only been on the convention threads so am looking forward to reading this one!
