Personally, I’d like to see Sheriff Clarke as DHS secretary, Rudy as AG, and Chris Christie behind the counter at Krispy Kreme.
YES..this is SPELLBINDING TV! It must be awesome to be there live.
Very. They're usually over-produced and slick. Trained speakers speaking blah, blah, blah. Each one indistinguishable from the last.
This reminds me of a good ol' fashioned tent revival. I mean that in the best possible way. People speaking from the heart, speaking with passion. Raw and powerful.
It ain't no Romney convention, that's for sure.
Spell check has a mind of its own tonight. Haha
A critical success!
Yes!! Tonight’s the best opening convention that many of us can remember in a LONG time...or, in a lifetime !!
Thank you for being there, Hildy!
It is, Hildy..GRRAT NIGHT!
BEST FIRST NIGHT EVER FOR ANY CONVENTION I HAVE EVER WATCHED.......RUDY ON FIRE!
Wooooooo hoooooo!!
I figured it was the RNC Never Trumpers
Why did you look?
No code pink here
Hillary will have a full voter-fraud assault during early voting and again on November 8th... bank it.
Trump is not playing. Everyone is energized by tonight. And sweet humble Melania is about to talk to American about modern day Braveheart, who didn't' need to run but LOVES AMERICA.
Rudy Blew the Roof OFF! WOW and WOW!
Dole up on his feet now. He actually looks pretty good for 93 or 94.
I couldn’t find c span on the xm radio. Does anyone know? In the car I listened to CNN and it was mostly some people chatting with Wolfie with the speech in the background.
Well the networks sure cut away when Giuliani got to the meat of his remarks - I guess they were finding them to be too effective and didn’t want people to hear it. CBS and NBC both cut away.
