Hi Hildy. Thanks for checking in. I’m sure it’s been a memorable experience for you. Look forward to hearing more about it. You’ll have more time to fill us in when you return home, I’m sure.
Enjoy Trump’s speech tonight! Should be the highlight of the convention! I hope he knocks it out of the park!
I have a question. Regarding the rules, was there ever a serious threat of rules changes happening on Day 1, to deny Trump the nomination? Or was that just drama created by the media?
I’m wondering what Cruz supporters and other non-Trump delegates thought of his speech.
Hey! I'm a poet! "Boo's for Cruz!"
What is your impression of the veracity of this claim?

Ted Cruz complains about “rabid” Trump supporters
Basically, Cruz is saying Trump staffers were egging on the crowd.
I was watching on Fox, and once Cruz reached the point about voting up and down the ballot, all you could hear were catcalls and boos. All of the analysts thought Cruz made a serious mistake, and Tucker Carlson was aghast they let Cruz speak (as was I). Megyn kept attempting to float the idea that "maybe Cruz won over some people by sticking to his principles"; but no one was buying it.
Is the sense of it there that Jeb and Ted are betting the farm that Trump loses in 2016, and they are thus in the pole position for 2020?

Overall, how is the tone? Is there excitement for Trump or division like the media is portraying?
Just post some of your hometown articles here..
John and Ken @ KFI 640 in Los Angeles 2-6 PDT are both very fair to Donald Trump and I’ve heard them talk to several delegates so far. It would be great to hear you interviewed by them.

Thanks for reporting. Last night I got worried at the reception Cruz received when he entered the stage. I thought “Oh, my, still too wild about him” but then...delighted by all the boos. That lying weasel didn’t belong there but it was the final nail in the coffin by Trump who, again, outsmarted him.
Yeah, is Cruz going to try to be Hillary’s running mate now?
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.
Maybe hold up a sign that says, Hi FReepers!!!
Ha, ha....enjoy tonight!!
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.
Thank you! I have only been on the convention threads so am looking forward to reading this one!
