Does "ready to throw rocks" count?

It is frightening. We had this kind of extreme division in 1940. It took the nightmare of World War II to snap us out of it. I don't know what it will take this time. In some ways we are channeling many of the same behaviors that were present at that time. I recently read Those Angry Days by Lynne Olsen and was struck by the similarities of the political situation of then and now.

Thx.
Wow, you just change a few words and it'd read like it was written about today. I suspected it would kind of be like it is today but had no idea it would be almost identical.

Not only that, but Cruz will run for president in 2020, even if Trump wins. Wheeeeeee!
And on Fox, Ben Carson avowed he would not run again.

Cruz's wife had to be escorted out of the building as the crowd began booing and yelling at her.
So much for the "law and order" people. What douchebags.

When I look at her I try to figure out if she's good-looking or not and then I think, you know, she probably owns lampshades made out of human skin.
I know, I know. Kind of a cute Nazi, though.

she didn't really say that, did she?
She didn't but she did say that by voting for Trump you're voting to end the politics of division (unlike those secret Muslim terrorist sympathizers on the left).

So after three days, what are we talking about from this convention? Trump's wife copying the First Lady's speech (of whom she admires) and Cruz not endorsing Trump.
Yup, this convention isn't going too well.
And reading Electoral-Vote.com, the explanation of the Melania's speech may have admitted an election financing law was broken.

I don't know....I haven't heard too many stupid things The Donald has said lately and I caught a snippet of the convention on the news last night: Pence was speaking. He seemed to be a very competent political speaker. That had me a little worried.

Trump can't win without convincing the people who don't pay attention to politics to vote for him. At this point, all that has been said is that Clinton is evil. Additionally, the news is concentrating on minor things like Trump's campaign breaking election finance laws by having a Trump company person work on a speech without being paid specifically by the campaign and Cruz not endorsing Trump. These articles are all that really matter as those who don't pay attention to politics don't care to watch any of this stuff.

You forgot to mention that Queen didn't authorize the use of their song...

Oi! Again!? The Republican Party is going to be running out of music they can use that isn't country. Too bad they didn't try Born in the USA when presented Trump's wife. Of course, that song was probably banned by Springsteen a long time ago!So after three days, what are we talking about from this convention?

Meanwhile,
Oops. Reminds me of Stewie playing at Woodstock on Family Guy. Seriously, stay away from rock music if it isn't Ted Nugent if you are holding a right wing event!article said:
