Republican
National Convention, July 18-21, 2016, Cleveland, OH
We plan to write (1) what we learn; and (2) highlights of ‘main’ speakers (in our
opinion).
Monday, July 18, 2016: Reince Priebus kicks it off at 1:30pmET. A Jewish rabbi gave the opening prayer, and a
Born Again Christian from South Carolina (Black American) said Trump is of his
same mind, and then gave the afternoon benediction. After some speakers, a mediocre
6-piece combo sings. Sharon Day is co-chair of the RNC, introduces Jeff Larson,
Convention CEO who thanks the delegate/’activists’ and quotes Newt Gingrich: the
GOP, the party of Growth, Opportunity, and Progress.
Alexandra Smith is the co-chair of the
young Republicans and speaks well. “We are a different and diverse generation;
Reagan said it has to be fought for. A fresh start for America, that’s what we’re
for. We are an unstoppable force for freedom in America.”
Other reps of GOP groups speak, like
National Confederation of Republican Women.
“Get onboard”.
“Free markets are better than ‘free
stuff’” says the president of Young Republicans.
FYI:
at 3pmET some ads are running, featuring Republican governors inviting
businesses into respective states. After some closing procedures, there is a
three-hour break, Convention starts again at 8pmET.
There are some great interviews from
Bret Baier, Brit Hume, and others.
Lieutenant General (ret.) Michael Flynn says he expects Trump to
win in a landslide.
RNC Spokesman Sean Spicer laughs at the efforts of Senator Mike Lee of
Utah, and rabid delegates from Colorado, to force a rollcall on the changing
the rule of the First Vote. Ken Cuccinelli
supports Trump but wanted the rollcall. Spicer
points out that 44 states and all the territories overwhelmingly supported
Trump. They started with nine states calling for rollcall, and on the voice
call, “Yea” was just a little more than “Nay” and the gravel said, “The Yea’s
have it.” Since the Nay people went on
and on, there was time for the Trump ‘whips’ to get three of them to rescind
after it was explained to them that “what they voted for wasn’t what they
thought.” Also Iowa also changed, so only
five were left when seven were needed.
Spicer also explained that the Rules Committee addressed significant
changes, including that only five states are needed to be on convention ballots,
[not the eight when Romney ran against Ron Paul.]
Ben Carson and others say it will only
increase viewership, when you consider Mike Pence and the Supreme Court.
It will also be anti-Hillary, and the
great family of Melania/Donald Trump.
Trump will introduce Melania who is more likable than Mrs Clinton; Trump will accept and speak on Thursday,
after the stage is rebuilt, but will be campaigning elsewhere tomorrow.
Greta interviewed Newt Gingrich and said
amazing things, including “Those who say you can’t build a Wall are just nuts! Clearly you can build the Wall if you want
to.” Tomorrow, Clarissa will have two
minutes to introduce Newt who will then have 13 minutes.
