Yep, hard to miss that slip up. What a disappointment after a rather inspiring speech. What a putz

Maybe it was meant to be a slap in Michelle’s face.

In any case, the women didn’t really write their speeches. someone else did.

Who hasn’t said they were raised with values?? I bet you could find some version of that statement in 80% of political speeches.

Geeze.

I watched part of it last night, from about 7:30-8:00 to 10:00-10:30 CDT.

I agree, what makes it different is that Trump has had regular people on, giving speeches from the heart, and those folks each cover a point of Trump’s platform.

IIRC, other conventions had mostly politicians, with maybe one or two non politicians talking.

Didn’t watch, but if I remember correctly MOOCH’s was about herself and how blacks have been held in slavery by the man...what she left out was the man is Dems, mainly corrupt black LIBTARD DEMS.

LBJ has a lot to answer his Maker for. MILLIONS of dead Unborn and murdered people and children because they eroded MORALS and did away with JUSTICE.

If so, they are also undiscerning. It’s a person of poor character who is overpaid in the first place for one of the bestsellers of several decades, and then spews bile about the subject who allowed him great access. I would not trust such a person anywhere near my private life after such a betrayal. He is now finished with the good people of New York/DC.

The man is entitled to his opinion. And he is entitled to write a fair-minded analysis of political issues and how personality may or may not fit into that. But what he wrote was a low-class, backstabbing, whining, fishwife screed. I hope his family locks up all their knives.

<< he will try to take Trump’s campaign off message by insisting on some hot-button social/religious issue pledge >>

Hmmm. Good point. And I could see that selfish, egotistical grandstander do something like that, too.

Pence is giving an unscheduled speech that has shades of a unity theme in it. He may be talking to sanctimonious Ted, trying to save him from himself.

I offered up the wrong birth location of Melania T. Slovenia- is her home country. It was once a part of Yugoslavia.

Slovakia, on the other hand, split from Czechoslovakia.
