    President Trump has received enough votes during the roll call of states to secure the GOP nomination for a second term as president. Republicans began convention proceedings Monday morning in Charlotte. Earlier, Vice President Pence was renominated by acclamation and stopped by the convention center to deliver brief remarks to the delegates.

    Prime-time speakers on the first day — appearing from multiple locations — include members of Congress who have been loyal to the president and the first among family members being given high-profile spots throughout the week. Trump is also expected to make an appearance of some sort on each of the four nights.

    Watch Trump speaking live from NC: the stark, stark contrast with sleepy Joe and the dark DNC convention!

    What’s very interesting is this - DNC was covered live and nonstop by PMSNBC and CNN and in depth by Fox - only Fox delivers RNC live, both PMSNBC and CNN doing heavy fact checks :roflol:

    How many MSM commentators got a tingle up their leg during sleepy Joe acceptance speech, I wonder?

    Lol...nobody believes trump and the gang anymore, so they get fact checked every time they open their mouths.
    If they don’t like being treated like congenital liars, maybe they should tell the truth once in a while.
    Meanwhile, another corrupt trump crony bites the dust.
    Your boy trump has replaced the swamp with a sewer.

    lol The point was, both PMSNBC and CNN carried DNC live and are not carrying RNC.

    Why? 'cos RNC convention is full of life and positive messages and is electrifying so why would sleepy Joe handlers want to broadcast it to the American people?

    Lest they get the wrong message! :hiding:

    Hey, saw what you wrote about Falwell, is it OK if I just choose to not believe it with zero investigation like you do when someone accuses Biden, isn't that how the me too movement works on the left?

    Speaky of sleepy; at least this convention should not put people to sleep. I understand that the Bob Ross people are worried that insomniacs will switch over to watching a recording of the Dem Party convention instead of his art shows in order to doze off.

    Will wonders ever cease. That is as much of a scurprise as Biden getting enough delegate votes to be the Democratic Party nominee.

    The other stations just did reruns of one of his campaign speeches. You can't tell the difference.

    Never mind that Senile Joe plagiarized Joe Layton in his keynote bleat last Thursday. :lol:

    I don't expect we'll be hearing Melania call this pedo a "profoundly decent man" like Michelle Obama did, either:

    No LIVE audience for the RNC.

    What a tragedy that Don Jr's Braindead "zingers" will fall on deaf ears.

    I really do not give two craps. I have no choice since I want my country back on the right road and Trump got it on the road to hell. So it is obvious that I am going with that new group ... Republicans For Biden and the Lincoln Project.

    I plan on spending maybe 4 minutes total on the RNC. About the same I did for DNC.

    This RNC is truly one of the greatest live comedy shows in TV History.

    I can not even believe that Charlie Kirk could say those words with a straight face.

    There was no live audience for the DNC pre-COVID, either. At least we had an excuse. Hillary was drunk in a bar somewhere.

    That is one great line ---" your boy trump has replaced the swamp with a sewer".

    That deserved to be repeated.
