From recent reports her college degree that is claimed on her BIO is also a falsehood.

Oops, well maybe she got her degree from Trump University?

I'll loathe him tomorrow and every day thereafter, but tonight I tip my cap to Ted Cruz.

I'm feeling the Ted.
One man had the stones to stand up to the bully and the mob.
Cruz stood by his conservative principles.

And, maybe it's my Sicilian heritage, but you can call me a liar and that's just politics. But you attack my wife and father,,, this I do not forgive.

I am not a Cruz fan, but it is just ONE MORE example of the Trump campaign flubs in not properly vetting this man for the convention appearance.

I really have not been watching it much (and I will do the same for the DNC), BUT I was wondering IF anyone really is saying what they WILL do to make America great again ?? All I am hearing is about Hillary attacks.

I see a lot of hate at the convention, but pretty much lacking in ideas and forward thinking propositions from what I am hearing. Rather sad that this is what we get IMHO.

Not much that I have seen.
Each night of the convention has had a theme. Night #1 "Make America Safe Again".

Night #2 was "Make America Work Again".
The NYT did a word count that night. The # 1, and 2 most commonly uttered words from the podium were "Hillary", and "Clinton".
"Work" came in at number 10.

Pretty much says it all.
"Hate Hillary. Hate, hate, hate. And, BTW, vote for this guy".

Can't wait for the grand finale tonight . . . I hear 125,000 balloons are going to drop from the ceiling of the Quiken Loans center . . . Talk about a gala time and excitement out the wahzoo!

All those delegates screaming (most still amped up from staying out till 3:00 a.m. at the bars), loud patriotic music (probably not properly cleared for use by the party) blaring from the amplified speakers, the entire Drumpf clan on stage smiling and waving, and a steady downpour of confetti, streamers, and balloons descending on the juvenile turmoil below.

This is how we pick our presidential candidates . . . Wonderful.

You nailed it, Goose. I lost track of the hate directed toward Hilliary Clinton. Tennyson--I watched Monday & Tuesday and do not recall one word about plans, policies on "Making AMERICA GREAT" again and could not stand to watch this hate machine any more. How the people at that convention can sit there cheering, screaming, yelling in agreement when Christy and the other speakers condemned Hilliary to the point of wanting her killed, imprisoned and everything but placed in the pilliary. Is it any wonder America is in such disarray and its people so loathing and distrusting of each other. What a horrible example the Republicans are setting for America and its allies.
