Many more (of both!)

Am hoping TODD Young will be heard from as part of the Indiana delegation. Does the VP get nominated from the floor?

[JudyinCanada]

Morning All....

I just went onto yesterday’s thread to catch up (fell asleep during Rudy’s speech, no offense to Rudy)....yikes! So many posts! I had to just move on to today’s thread lol.

I went back to hear Patricia Smith, as I missed her last night. Hat’s off to that poor woman. She’s not letting this go - she’s Hillary’s worst nightmare.

Going to get breakfast and will check back in tonight.

[Jane Long]

Good morning!!

Thanks much for this thread, the coffee and the breakfast (lysie).

Yesterday and last night’s RNCC opening was the best, ever.

[Jim W N]

They gotta go.

[freepersup]

Thank you FR friend. You, and our peers... provide great company.

Who knows how one will be, decades past the time one contemplates such a thing... but for me- I do not feel a particular age. I hope that is not a flaw, or an early sign of dementia? lol

[Jane Long]

Spot on post, exit!! You described my thoughts, exactly.

Forget all of the MSM distraction, nothing burgers over Melania’s speech. Here is the line I will ALWAYS remember, from her speech, last night....

Becoming a U.S. Citizen Is the Greatest Privilege On Earth.

Amen.

[Jane Long]

The same people pushing this idiot theme are the same ones who don’t think that deleting 30,000+ emails, and continuously lying about it, is an issue. They are desperate dirtbags who are just grasping at straws.

^^ THAT ^^ is perfectly said!!

What may be the only similarity of character between Trump and Obama? (Hint: it’s how Obama has gone as far as he has.)

[STARLIT]

[freepersup]

Thank you freeper friend. I am at that age where I read the online obituaries of my hometown newspaper. It pains me to see so many young people transpiring- but amazes me at the same time by the many people reaching longevity. Here’s to the latter! Clink-Clink!

[Jane Long]

LOL...good point. Maybe they're allowing the loony left to show their true 'color' 😂

[Jane Long]

Wow!! That’s a cool birthday greeting for our Spidey!! Nice, NIKK!

[Lakeside Granny]

Happy Birthday to you!

[RayofHope]

"I was disappointed to see many leave the convention hall after Melania’s speech. I know it was a very long day for them but they owed it to the speakers to hear every word. Hopefully with the 5:30 start today we keep the seats full all night."

Have to wholeheartedly agree with your comment, the speakers that followed deserved better.......

[Jim W N]

Got an important question asked in good faith from the bottom of my heart to my fellow FReepers and my fellow Americans.

What's going to keep the Trump Movement from being a mere political speed bump on the Road to Ruin, as the Reagan Revolution turned out to be?

It's not a question of not focusing on winning now. It's in addition to our winning now.

[freepersup]

Thank you so much! I’ve been threatening to leave for weeks... today is D-Day for the road trip. It will be a bit of a retreat like atmosphere- in that my cell service does not work where I’m going, and the Internet is $8 an hour, or $50 for all day use. Yikes. I suppose the adage that absence makes the heart grow fond, will be tested in the most practical sense.

[Right-wing Librarian]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FREEPERSUP!

Today is YOUR special day!!

Hope it is everything that you wish for, and more.

: )

Rove just said it ran later than expected

Thinking : Sounds like they had to catch their bus back to hotels. Buses ran only at certain times. (That’s on a schedule somewhere! )
