    Republican Congressmen are texting Ana Navarro saying they're embarrassed for their party

    Hardcore Bernie holdouts are texting Van Jones and saying now they're with her

    Jeffrey Lord is like hes the best

    Navarro is pissed

    The best part was earlier when she said that it seems like she and Lord had heard different speeches, that they were in different universes. Because she didn't enjoy huffing glue.

    Oh shit, CNN!

    What?

    Half their reporters are pissed off, calling the speech disgusting, psychopathic, entirely negative fear mongering, etc.

    While Jeffery Lord tries to make apologies and say that we ARE living in Mad Max times.

    As an effete european I usually don't bother with watching stuff from the conventions so I don't have much to compare it to but every time I turned in during this it was some level of ghastly.

    I heard that Trump was trying to appeal to Bernie fans tonight.

    Do you think that will work?

    Not according to Van Jones, he said he was getting texts from hardcore Bernie people that they were totally in Hillary's camp after that speech.

    I didn't know polls were replacing trials, now...

    The strongest Bernie supporter in my friends circle is talking about how the DNC and RNC are corrupt and how he won't have anything to do with either administration, which means he's still looking 3rd party. I expected no less, naturally.

    You know, when 67% of the people say the country's going in the wrong direction, and that direction is primarily Congress going FUCK YOU, WE'RE GOING NOWHERE, how is that even on Obama?

    "The End of Days with balloons" is how Alex Wagner describes the speech.

    EDIT: Also mentioned the weird touching.

    Because to them, it means that Obama is not a good leader. Even though they are the ones who closed the door and barred it shut.

    I couldn't watch, so what about Trump's speech was that bad? Was it really that much worse than his typical prepared remarks+occasional ad libbed shittiness? Are there any memorably awful one liners?

    No. Just almost an hour and a half straight of DEATH, DOOM, I AM THE LAW, I WILL MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER, FUCK FOREIGNERS, AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA.

    Nothing horrible, besides the content, but also 100% negative, 100% fuck everyone but me, I am the only way.

    didn't you hear? "Build A Wall" has been accepted by the media as a comprehensive immigration plan.

    There was a steam sig here. It's gone now.

    There was the part where I couldn't decide if Trump was advocating for international racketeering or neo vassal states, but mostly the speech was just a boring (and looong) hodgepodge of Trumpisms. I was starting to read a Fusion article and the author of that article put it nicely: "the gist of his speech was that we are all about to be killed by immigrants, terrorists and other evildoers unless we put our faith in him."

    Edit: So, y'know, Trump!

    On CNN, Trump speechwriter Stephen Miller just described the speech as "profoundly optimistic."

    Him actually having the gall to call out Obama for "irresponsible rhetoric" and then railing agaisnt special interest groups only to later brag about having the FUCKING NRA endorsement almost gave me an aneurysm.
