    That inflection mid-sentence is annoying.. I know, because I'm sure I do it too. :(

    I expected that watching this speech would be a chilling experience

    but it's mostly annoying and boring

    This is the part where he appeals to the black vote.

    He's not even saying anything. It's all...miasma. He's disjointed and saying nothing of importance at all. It's like a sentence or two was made for every headline of the last few months and thrown into a cauldron.

    Do they think saying it will make it happen like Beetlejuice?

    on the upside this crowd is not nearly excited enough to make me think that this is truly an incipient fascism

    where are the storm troopers?

    Was there any coordination at all when writing Ivanka's speech and Donald's speech so they wouldn't be horrifically mismatched?

    It's code words, dude. He'll lock up every black man in the country, starting with Barack Obama.

    Are we rehashing the speech from 20 minutes ago? Did the teleprompter glitch out?

    My God, he's not going pants-on-head crazy tonight!

    ...or at least so far

    Yeah, I'm glad. I mean... on the one hand, it's pretty troubling to see Orange Hitler get the nomination for a major American political party and then overtly double down on the fascism and racism right out in the open. On the other hand, though, he's pretty much made sure that he's not going to get a single minority vote.

    I am vastly relieved that he didn't figure out he's not still in the primaries and try to reach out to demographics beyond his core supporters. Maxing out on white racial resentment demagoguery gets you 35% of GOP primary electorate. Enough to win the nomination under certain conditions, but nowhere near enough to win in November.

    And he's also reminded us that the crazy white people in this country are still crazy but still not a majority. He's only historically atypical in that he made it further along in the process than George Wallace and Pat Buchanan. That wasn't because he has broader appeal than they did, but because the masterminds who run the GOPe thought 17 candidates in their primary was a great idea.

    Only a corrupt man could clean up corruption. That's an interesting interpretation of only Nixon can go to China.

    It's the Joe Kennedy story.

    Wow, he indirectly called Obama a divisive racist. Impressive.

    I can't believe he actually called anyone out on "irresponsible rhetoric".

    I know you need some lack of self awareness to be in the GOP but christ.

    We must end the wars in the Middle East! (15 minutes later) We need to invade Syria.

    How about the domestic one?

    Instead, we will subject them to the violence and oppression of a hateful domestic ideology, like God intended!
