So just to get this straight, in a nuclear attack I duck under my desk and cover my head and that should pretty much protect me right?

Unlike some of the comments above, I am for states rights (and more provincial rights). One size fits all policies don't work.

I actually support single payer so that part I will leave.

I am for small government and so on.

How are any of his ideas radically different than Paul Ryan's? PR as far as I know doesn't get the hate that Cruz does.
Well in America, states rights is usually a cover for allowing more discrimination. It's almost always espoused by Christian far righties like Ted Cruz for instance. Paul Ryan isn't one of those types, and really he's not that much more liked. The small government argument is also usually bunk with the GOP because they like more control over women's bodies and reproductive rights, more money to the military and more corporate handouts. They just want to cut welfare and social security and privatize Medicare. That's the kind of small government they want.

Also he's just....slimy. Really gross to hear speak. He's legitimately one of the most hated individuals there is, some many people who've done any extensive work with him has had bad things to say. His own kids don't appear to like him as evidence from the classic gif/video. He's just not a very good person really.

Isn't Newt the same guy that said Muslims should take a test to see if they believe in Sharia law?

I mean, it's actually a pretty great speech if his audience is... me, but yeah, for the lowest common denominator that this convention has targeted throughout, it is a bit much and certainly far too little "BE HAPPY TRUMP WILL SAVE US AND MAKE EVERYTHING AMAZING" for the tastes of those in attendance.

I mean, aside from the parts about Trump specifically, I agree with most of this.

Trump should have walked on the stage and led Cruz away from the podium before he could finish his speech.

Interesting. I found it shamefully exploitative and disgusting.

God that is funny you say that. I had it typed out that this Gingrich speech could've been written by you or me but didn't want to mistakenly cause offense.

Let ng winded, nauseating levels of hitting the point home, exhaustive examples.

It read like something I would write when drunk and impassioned

Alright, Pence is up next. He doesn't seem too bright when I've heard him before, tonight should be interesting.

I actually laughed so hard at this. Tactic admission he just lies all the time, but hey he'll tell the truth under the right circumstances.

Has Trump put Melania in the penalty box? She wasn't with the family this morning/afternoon when he arrived with Pence in Cleveland and she isn't sitting with the family at the convention. Seems very weird.

It's gotta be tough work to act this fake all day long. Exhausting, really.
