Dems get last up next week. What do you think will be said about trump then.

Whatever is "said" will end up being positive press and will add millions of votes for Trump.

"People" are waking up fast.

This is true - it's happening everywhere, not just in the US.
My advice to anyone still on the platform is to get on the train...

Nominated and seconded!
Here we go with the vote count....

Donald Trump is a movement. Wonderful said.

Anti-establishment

Oh, I like the union guy with the hardhat on thats what Im talking about.

Won't be seeing that at the DNC because anyone in the trades know what the hell is going on.

Her not being indicted you mean?

Everyone now wants to claim they were 'the first' to endorse Trump.

I like that joke... 'Honey, did you ever in your wildest dreams believe I would be nominating Donald Trump for President'....'Sorry dear, you are never in my wildest dreams....'
LOL

I understand your issues with Hillary, and the efforts to disarm the people. But does that mean you see no issue with the rise of an authoritarian and this strong push of law enforcement empowerment? Make America Safe Again? You know, as well as I do, the power of that word "safe" and how government use that.

You and I rarely see eye to eye, but I'm surprised if your eyes are completely closed to this kind of rhetoric. I want to hear from someone who's eyes are open, why they are not concerned.

Another stream.

They keep going down for some reason:

Is anyone else looking for symbolism hidden in the background in the way the structure is built?

Anyone see anything going on??

Local LAW enforcement are local issues under that piece of paper that says STATE have RIGHTS.

Trying to NATIONALIZE the police is AUTHORITARIANISM.

Paul Ryan very clear that there will be no messing with vote counts - they have to be as voted and bound.

OMG WTF is happening now with this prayer????
...
It was but struggling for the relevance?

Relevance of what? Having a Sikh give the invocation? They must have been hoping to send some kind of message... I wonder what that message was? What does having this woman give the invocation say about the GOP? Whose vote do you suppose they're trying to get?

That's the relevance. And I'm sure this will quash ANY opinions in this nation that Trump is xenophobic.

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. IT IS AN HONOR AS AN AMERICAN AND THE VICE CHAIR OF THE CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN PARTY TO REPRESENT THEM THE FIFTH-LARGEST RELIGION IN THE WORLD. LOOKING TO THE ONE GOD ABOVE FOR GUIDANCE AND A REMINDER TO HAVE HUMILITY, TRUTH, COURAGE, SERVICE, JUSTICE FOR ALL AND GRATITUDE FOR ALL OUR CREATOR HAS GIVEN TO US. A SIKH ALWAYS COVERS HER HEAD WHEN OFFERING THIS PRAYER. [PRAYING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE] ...

I thought it was very odd that Priebus didn't mention her name...

I agree it was a beautiful prayer.

Oh sweet rose , sweet rose of Alabama .... TRUMP!

What did they just say about rule 37?

Wow Alaska went all 28 to Trump ..

Boaz and Jachin, tell me if you can see it.

That wasn't really a response. I'm not arguing with you. I'm asking... you see no red flag with this kind of rhetoric? Amping up the fear of murder on the streets. And the reaction... Amping up law enforcement, the promise to make America safe again.
You don't see that as textbook manipulation of the people to support a rising police state?

Strange that Trump took 28 delegates in Alaska - I thought there were some bound to Cruz and Rubio (Cruz actually won the state)
