It's not how long it lasted, just that it happened at all on opening day.
You do realize that this will all add up to be campaign fodder for Hillary.

If you say so.
I think it just bolsters the idea that Trump upsets the apple cart, and folks want to see those apples all over the street.

Trump has given and will continue to give all the campaign fodder Clinton could desire, but Hillary doesn't appear to be much of a campaigner and is despicable to boot in the eyes of many. The winner will the one who appears the least despicable to the most independent voters and it's media driven perceptions that will determine this. Heaven help us all. Should be one hell of a show though.

I didn't think Kabuki usually had an actual body count.

Then there was the sideshow outside the convention.

The Roger Stone and Alex Jones 'Chock Full of Nutters' roadshow.

Well damn, my wife and I were raised with the same values. Along with countless millions of others who have said it over and over forever. But, since Michelle said it at a previous convention does that mean that Trump and his wife didn't grow up with the same values, she just can't say it, or what ?

God, I hope Bill doesn't say that he and Hillary grew up with the same values, or lack of them.

I heard the two speeches played together and the EXACT wording is indisputable. Even if one shares values, it is doubtful that the same exact words/sentences would be used to express those values.
