Apparently there's now a norovirus outbreak at the convention.

Could be worse though, you could be Venezuela who is in the exact same situation but far more extreme.

Rachel Maddow with the ice cold "492 ranked player in the world" intro for Natalie. And too be fair no one has ever cared about her golfing.

Paul Ryan is intellectually bankrupt. It is the height of dishonesty to presume radical change is possible in DC. This man is a stone liar. And a sell out.

Really? I think this is a pretty decent speech. Has he mentioned Trump?

EDIT: Teleprompter failed him hard right there.

Ya he finally injected some energy into this mostly inanimate mass but I was referring to a specific comment early in the speech. He inferred that they can radically remake how business is done in DC and as the naive (or cynical) Obama found out, that's not possible with their system.

Ryan sounds like he's accepting the nomination. Obviously going out of his way to avoid mentioning Trump much, if at all.

Kevin McCarthy's speech is the most cookie cutter thing I have ever heard. Could have been almost verbatim into any RNC in the past 20 years.

Hahahaha Chris Christie is going to attempt to sell a "jury of HRC's peers" - by which he means the RNC delegates, who are probably the most anti-Clinton people ever - on the notion that she should be prosecuted for... things, without a defense. This is like the definition of a farce, and perfectly fitting for a Trump convention.

Or Obama built more pipelines then any other president ever. He effectively did nothing to regulate fracking and concrete in wells. He supports the some of the dirtiest oil in the world in California.

And yet there was one pipeline which actually would have reduced both risk of environmental damage and the emissions from shipping oil which he for some reason denied.

So while what you say about Alberta failing to diversify is true Obama was no friend to Canadian economic interests and was very protectionist.

Seriously.

Alberta should have flipped that "Diversify Economy" switch. I mean it was sitting right there, why didn't they do it!?

Donald Trump Jr. just gave the speech that Donald Trump Sr. should have given on June 15, 2015.

If you think Chris Christie can lecture anyone on ethics, we have a bridge to sell you.

I wanna remember Ben Carson for the good times, and not his total crazy routine at the end. Good times Ben...
