Well, last night we had a number of speakers. We had Trumpkin give a wonderful speech that was in no way true. We had Ted Cruz decide not to endorse Trump at his own convention, resulting in Boos and jeers, even his wife had to be escorted out of the building.
Now we are just waiting for the Obnoxious Yam to accept the nomination.

(42,641 posts)And the ignorance of many regular Republicans is also frightening. The challenge, in my view, is to overcome the message with fact and also an appeal to common goals.
Our social justice group presented the movie "Welcome to Shelbyville" about a small Southern town dealing with an influx of black, Somali Muslims. An excellent movie with a message of hope.

(11,833 posts)Republican party platform:
Lower taxes on the rich and big corporations (lower it a few cents for everyone else & say they are lowering taxes for everyone).
More christian prayer in public schools
Eliminate the Affordable Care Act (they say replace it but still have no alternative)
More funding for defense
Only support police and law & order, not a word about police killing unarmed people
Minimum wage of $7.25
Porn is a national health problem
Democratic party platform
Minimum wage $12 or $15
Expand and improve Affordable Care Act
Make public education far more affordable
Pave the way to a public option
Improve the criminal justice system for everyone
Inequality is a national economic problem

The Iraqi and Syrian Christians are so busy running, they have lost their voice to cry for help. Living sunup to sundown without anyone dying is their daily goal. They have been made voiceless. But now we will be their voice.
We are providing 1500 Iraqi families and thousands of Syrians with life-saving food, shelter, hygiene kits and other needed items in partnership with the Lebanese Society for Educational and Social Development (LSESD).

Sadder thing, these are the folks that, to quote ol Lucianne Goldberg, will walk barefoot on broken glass to make sure they get the the voting booth. This year, they will Goose step on the glass, so that we hear the crunch, and know our windows are next.

On foreign policy he just had sound bytes and slogans. No nuance at all. That's perfect for his audience. There is no arguing with his rhetoric for too many Americans.
This is scary. He is a strongman and America just might think they want that right now.

(1,124 posts)I doubt very many do ... this is just a speech that has been on script. Sounds like the early leaked copy ... he may stay on script tonight but all bets are off. He'll stick his foot in it like he did this morning about NATO

He's now talking about protecting people in Ferguson at the same time he's saying cops are OK with shooting people.

(19,114 posts)He is losing his focus and energy as the speech goes on. More going off script and adding stuff like "the best, the best."
Zero details other than to make a bunch of outrageous claims.

(11,833 posts)I watched Trump's speech. So full of fear and divisiveness. And half-truths, flat out falsehoods, mixed with platitudes about making america great again.
No proposed policy. Just scapegoating everything on immigrants and claiming people in urban areas lack 'law and order.' Code talk. Scapegoating.
A Trump presidency would be very similar to a George W. Bush presidency or a Reagan presidency. Plenty of talk about strengthening the economy while providing huge tax cuts to the biggest corporations and wealthiest.
Lip service about law and order, silence on our disproportionate prison system, not a word about police killing people. Scapegoating of immigrants and all the people who enter our country legally. Dramatic increases in military spending; not much else done with our tax money. Nothing about inequality.
Education policy: cut public education. Allow rich people the 'freedom' to move their kids to private schools.

Thanks so much for this thread. I'm just now catching up. So good finding some good hearted peeps on this thread, late at night.
A friend texted me that he heard the speech on the radio, while driving. He used the word 'gross.' A buddy watched about half the speech and couldn't take it anymore and split.
B, we used to have a lot of fun imitating the Donald. It's no longer funny to me any more. We need to defeat that mofo. He's dangerous, mentally unfit for office.

So this guy said 'Yeah, against them getting slaughtered in Orlando.' Then this guy from New Yorker said 'Yeah, what's his policy to help them?'
So the Trump guy doubled down and said something like 'Well, it's still support for their community.'
