Take a glance at the line up. Will really be great. Almost every speech will be good.
Can you imagine if Trump were running for president 25 or 30 years ago, who he'd have speaking?
I'm all for supporting RSBN TV, but I want to watch the convention. I don't want to listen to commentary and most important, I want to hear the music. RSBN TV wants to cut out the music fearing they have to pay royalties.
Also,it was annoying last night trying to watch the convention on the other channels. Fox, CNN, etc were all butting in.
So, for this reason I posted the C-Span thread. You can also go to this link and watch the whole first Day.
Prayers today for WVKayaker who's fighting a nasty bout with pneumonia.
Day 2 starts @ 5:30pm ET Today’s Theme: Make America Work Again.
Good Morning Nikos. Where’s breakfast?
Thank you nikos for this thread !!!!!
I loved last night! ALL of it.
Was reading other threads this morning discussing msm criticisms...got sick pretty quick.
I want to experience the greatness of what was, in my mind, for me, a superior evening.......every bit of it.
GO TRUMP!
Question. WHEN Trump wins, do his kids get secret service protection?
As an aside, I can’t log on to FR during the day. Fedgov kinda frowns on that but I read this thread daily.
Thank you!
Good morning all.
Agree that C-SPAN is the go-to channel for watching events. No inane commentary, no muting for the music. Last night was a better show and better substance than I expected.
I have a travel day today, out of town assignment, and work piled high on top of the travel. Will catch what I can of the convention, and thank you for posting the scheduled lineup.
Melania's gave an awesome speech. The MSM certainly doesn't want people to know about Melania's university education or that she is fluent in five languages.
The contrast between her beauty/class/loyalty/patriotism, and the unmitigated evil of that desiccated communist cow on the other side, couldn't possibly be more stark !
And Donald's entrance wasn't half bad either ;-)
Thanks for the Day 2 thread. We carry over 2,845 replies from the Day 1 thread and well on track for 10,000 replies by the time Trump gives his acceptance speech Thursday night. I’m sure it will be theatrical.
Like you, I gave up on the major networks early last night. Way too much chatter and cutting away from the prime time speeches so they could weave their own narrative.. C-SPAN is the place to be.
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.
I would also not dwell on MSM trying to make a big deal of fact that Melania’s speech shared a paragraph or two with previous Firsr Lady speeches. It’s ginned up controversy. Of course they are going to grasp any straw to get us talking about anything else than the beat-down Crooked Hillary was dealt last night. Melania did a great job and look forward to hearing from the Trump children over next couple days.
FATHER GOD,
Thank You for Your Mercies that are new each day. Thank You for Your goodness and your faithfulness to each generation. Thank You for Your love for us that You sent JESUS CHRIST to die for our sins so we may live.
Thank You for Your hand of protection over the GOP Convention. Thank You that brave men and women were given the platform share stories of injustice. You are TRUTH and JUSTICE. Give them JUSTICE, LORD.
Thank You for Melania Trump’s sweet spirit and how she honors her husband. May others follow her example.
We plead the blood of JESUS over the GOP Convention. Protect DONALD TRUMP and MIKE PENCE, their families, their staff, and all convention goers.
FATHER GOD, bless and protect our military, our first responders, and their families.
We give You PRAISE. We give You HONOR. We give You GLORY.
In JESUS’ Name we pray. Amen.
Trump-Pence crush the NeverTrumpers
TrumpRule 1:...Never underestimate the Donald
TrumpRule 2:...Always expect the unexpected from the Donald
TrumpRule 3:...The Donald appreciates loyalty
TrumpRule 4:....The Donald has an excellent memory.
TrumpRule 5:...The Donald takes no prisoners.
Beautiful, cool morning in the mountains to all.
Awaiting another day of “Trump and drama.”
Loved the speeches yesterday especially the soon to be 1st Lady’s,along with America’s Mayor and Sheriff Clark’s (Joe Arpio may have a challenger for America’s Toughest Sheriff).
Hope the nevertrumpers put a sock in it!
The media makes me ill. It’s not just the constant playing of Melania vs. Michelle’s little speech snippets this morning on CNN and MSNBC. What bothers me almost as much is the hard-left media talking heads (on TV and online) claiming that the convention was a disaster last night, focused only on anger, resentment, and hatred. There was no hatred or resentment on display, and the anger was a completely justified righteous anger.
That was one of the best nights of a convention I’ve seen. Finally, average Americans and what they’ve done or suffered matters. Finally, someone was willing to give them a voice, even when their stories are true but politically incorrect. The elites of both parties and the press victimize regular Americans over and over, and no one cares—except for Trump and the people with him. Even long-term politicians like Rudy were lifted up to a new level of intensity and frank honesty in this atmosphere.
This was a populist convention—not in some lefty Huey Long sense, but in the truest sense that it came from regular folks (including some down-to-earth politicians) and was about their interests and safety for once. This wasn’t soft and mamby-pamby in the usual GOP way either. Trump has already proven he will actually fight on our behalf.
“it was annoying last night trying to watch the convention on the other channels. Fox, CNN, etc were all butting in.”
You are so right! We’d been watching on DirecTV 347 — full screen, clean, no interruptions or commentaries. DH turned to Fox while Gen. Flynn was speaking. Banners, crawls, and logos filled up 1/3 of the screen. Then they cut away during Flynn’s speech so Megyn Kelly could bring out her ridiculous, insipid panel.
Jeff Sessions speech has been so far ignored by Fox News. Like it didn’t happen.
I watched last night thru the link posted on FR and avoided the butt in talk. Also googled RNC Convention 2016 and got a link. I don’t need the pundits to tell me what to think which is why I’m avoiding online articles posted today even by Drudge there’s negative spin to them.
