^ I betcha I know which guy refrained, probably the Trump employee on the panel. Anyways, we all wondered when Omarosa was gonna get involved in this ####show...the answer would be now. And her role? African American outreach. I'm sure it'll go well.

Well the convention is finally turning into a #### show with the last gasp attempt of #NeverTrump to prevent him getting the nomination. A couple state delegations have walked off the floor and Sen. Mike Lee is trashing the RNC rules committee. Trump will still get the nomination, but this whole convention will be a drag on the GOP polling wise.

Trump must be loving this. Anything that sets him further apart from "the establishment" in the mind of the average idiot is a positive. I wouldn't be surprised if the Trump camp approves of this behind closed doors.

Loving it might be a stretch. It doesn't hurt him all that much, but it does show he's leading a totally fractured party (and unity is clearly not his thing). It's funny how we keep flipping back and forth here, but we're back to the Dems appearing united and the GOP looking in total disarray. I do think this is the beginning of end of the GOP as we know it, the party will likely be rubble after the election.

Remember when Rudy was "mayor of the world" after 9/11? Just like McCain, another one who threw his entire legacy away by going totally bat####. I guess at least he didn't give us a Sarah Palin to boot.

Guliani threw away his legacy by pimping his legacy. McCain got played by the Republican machine.

9 states wanted roll call vote, but 3 dropped out.
So my understanding is the NeverTrump group got signatures of a majority of delegates from 9 states, but then 3 delegation leaders withdrew their states without obtaining any signatures from their delegates confirming this?

So this happened unfortunately. The DNC should simply cancel their convention and just replay this trainwreck again next week. Never seen a better ad against voting for someone than this RNC, and oh yeah we have 3 more nights to go. Whoopee!!!

I watched him give that speech/prayer/ramble. It actually made it worse.

I just turned on CNN to find out what is going on and they have a headline on the screen that Trump's motorcade was involved in an accident this afternoon. I wonder if someone tried to ram him as an attempt to kill him.

Conspiracy theory: The GOP establishment is trying to ruin Trump's chances by going nuclear, and is saying the craziest #### possible to wreck him

More likely theory: Racists gonna racist

Without even commenting on the content, he didn't actually say what the video is titled at all. "Western civilization" is not a synonym for "white people".
