Make America Work Again! Thoughts on night 2?

We are watching the PBS broadcast- David Brooks seems like he is horrified by the way the convention is being run.

It was noted that the largest number of delegates (I think 476) are OPPOSED to Trump- largest dissent since 1976.

This seems to be a little bit of a bigger crowd- hard to say-

but, this really looks like the "lowest common denominator" circus, doesn't it? Hell, I started longing for Nixon during the Bush years, but now I am reduced to wishing I could watch Clint Eastwood lecture the chair again-

Well, it's true.

Jesus, can these clowns not think about anything, anything but Hillary's emails? I highly recommend watching the PBS coverage-
