The excitement at the Republican convention is almost palpable. If the word "palpable" meant something completely different.

I have to admit that even I nave been a little surprised by the lack of enthusiasm inside the convention building.

It is almost like the people who are showing up feel obligated to be there, but once inside can barely bring themselves to clap or cheer for the majority of the folks up on stage.

But if Trump inspires so little enthusiasm among the Republicans then who is it that helped him to win the nomination?

If you have about 30 minutes the BBC might provide that answer in a rather terrifying documentary called "Trump's Angry America."

    I suspect it's just your opinion. I've been surprised by the high enthusiasm - not that I share in it.

    You *have??? To think that people hear got so upset over the word "Bunny".

      If their locals paid their way they probably feel obligated to show up, at least when the cameras are on.

    Watched Bill Maher, and Micheal Moore said forty million whites were mad as hell, and wanted their country back. Plus, let's not forget the Evangelicals, who want Armageddon so they can get taken to heaven soon. It's a quandary. But Micheal Moore said it's becoming reality. Trump may be President if we become too lax in thinking he won't.

      Everyone should watch that Bill Maher show from last night if they can.

      Between Michael Moore's reality check if we become too complacent and Tony Schwarz's first hand exposure to and analysis of Trump's true character, we should remain very afraid.

      (And stop pissing off the Bernie supporters. You are going to need them and insults isn't going to convince them.)

    The Young Turks coverage was hilarious-- Ted Cruz basically booed both on and off stage because he wouldn't 'endorse' Drumpf.
    By the way, The Young Turks understand now that it's Hillary all the way. They're behind her now.

      The booing of Cruz was orchestrated by the Trump campaign. It was all planned since they knew Cruz wasn't going to endorse. That is why Trump made his entrance to the family seating area during Cruz's speech and campaign members were strategically placed in the audience to start the booing.

      I don't understand why Cruz bothered to show up at all. Is he so totally clueless he doesn't understand that he is hated almost as much as Trump? What was the point since he wasn't going to endorse Trump? Did he think this was mending bridges in the party and he could just say "told you so" and be the nominee in 2020? Because it's not going to happen.

      He'll be lucky to still be a senator in 2020.

    Not having caffeine yet, it misread the headline as "The Excrement at the Republican Convention ...." Applicable either way unfortunately.

    Disgusting. Glorifying a man that has assaulted, raped, and abused women? The RNC Candidate for President Of The United States of America? Really? Our children are watching this election process and the FEC is allowing this person to smear abuse victims? OUTRAGOUS!!!! This person insulted the entire country. Pathetic.

      Yeah, and Cruz spoke the truth last night about voting your conscience and got booed. "He took the pledge." Is that like the stupid pee pond's $arah pledge? I notice she (RAM) posted on BB. I thought she wasn't watching? Eye roll.

    Incredible, the media reports that chaos breaks out at the convention; I was expecting riots, punching, dragging protesters off the floor.

    Instead it was because they were booing Ted Cruz. Really!!!

    Yet they didn’t find it appalling that Christie whipped the crowd into a frenzy with his “just having fun hanging Hillary” trial?

    Absolutely disgusting!!

    Burning Hillary At The Stake: A Race Like No Other
    ....
    Throughout Christie's speech the crowd never let up. The cameras caught their snarling mob-faces, their raised fists, their calls for Hillary's head: "She's guilty! Get her! Lock her up!"
    It shook me to my core. In my mind's eye I saw Gestapo tactics, jackboots, the rise of a police state......

    Meanwhile, Trump is showing again, he really just wants to be crowned and is busy “eliminating” any dissidence, Putin would be proud:

      Colbert shows a clips of a ball game where Pence was to throw out the first ball. As soon as his name was announced the audience erupted with Boos and vulgar vernacular.

      I wonder if Indiana is so grateful for Donald taking Pence out of their state that they will vote for him in gratitude. I hope not.

      I remember the only time I ever voted for a Republican was to send Pete Wilson to D.C. just to get him out of California. Once done, I voted against him because I knew once he lost, he'd never be in politics again. And I was right. He had the worst attendance/voting record ever. So he didn't do much damage while he was there either.

    One thing that should be said, is that monica ledwinski was not a victim of assault or rape. She was a unvetted young intern with hots for aging old confined horney bill. Nothing new with that deal. Women and their scent take down bozo-pres everyday. It was bad judgement for a intern. Bill got a black eye and many were hurt in the entire process. Now rudy had his own women thingy. Trump has his own women thingy. But attacking Hillary, her credentials, her lifelong work and law career is wrong. And emails,text and that? Nothing is secure UNTIL you have a secure world wide network. period.
