I’ve been on here since 2000. Vanity posts except as a rare exception have been frowned upon. And lately there is getting to be too many of them. As the infection spreads, FR becomes just another chat board.
It is easy to find a thread where you can post your comment without mucking up the directory with vanity posts. Or, you can do like others have done (now also abused) and create a page of your own and then link to your own insightful comments.
Anyhow, not trying to sound harsh. Just my plea to save the vanity posts for very, very rare occasions when you can’t find anywhere else to insert your thought.
Wrestling analogy is a good one. Don’t overlook that Trump and Vince McMahon are friends and both excel at promotion. I’ll never forget seeing Trump shave Vince’s head after beating him.
Allowing Cruz to speak last night was aimed at one thing, VIEWERS! Cruz, endorse or don’t, wasn’t really a primary consideration for Trump. He knew that question was a ratings draw and no matter what Cruz did, and he could come in at the last moment and claim the attention of a large audience.
I agree. He also used the convention to put his kids “over” in wrestle speak. The news wants to interview all of them. They will be a united front against Hillary.
Hillary is going to be turned into the biggest “heel” the nation has ever seen.

“It will make the DNC look like a pity party.”
That, and the bar scene from Star Wars.
Great analogy, I can remember those themes being played up when watching TV-rasslin’ as a kid in the 60s. Didn’t watch it after I grew up, but I remember a few bad-guys redeeming themselves into the Hero scenarios back in the day.
Putting it on my “to watch” list, sounds like a good movie.
Caddyshack had that same kind of vibe.
Listening to Trump’s speech now.....sounds like he has learned to make a political speech (like when Happy Gilmore learned to putt).
