PREPARE: Trump has scheduled himself to speak every single night at GOP convention.

He wants to rebutt what was said at the Democratic convention.



Prepare for 4 DAYS of Trump airing his grievances in endless, aimless, meandering rants untethered from reality.

Prepare for some easily debunked lies.

Prepare for his own voters and Fox News getting bored. Prepare for images of yawning people and empty seats. Prepare for Fox News cutting away from the 2nd and 3rd speech.

Prepare for the media ever-so-smartly analyzing in hindsight that this Trump-overload robbed the convention of precious momentum.

Prepare for Trump lamenting about the unenthusiastic media-coverage of "the best convention ever".

Prepare for the deplorables desperately praising his lukewarm performance as fantastic.

There was no way in hell he was going to sit back and watch cameras rolling without being in front of them.

Set up a bunch of phony cameras so he thinks he has the worlds attention. What’s that thing he always says, you can tell when they are recording because there’s a little red light on the front of the camera? Whatever it is, it’s been debunked many times but he keeps going back to it.

And when I say country I mean cult members who adore the ground he walks on.

Even his most devoted fans must have a tolerance level. They must get sick of the same old tired rants, over and over again. Then again, I always overestimate their sanity.

This is looking like the boredom-fest of the century. Is there an export market for word-vomit? Because if he does this, we're in for an all-time surplus of the shit.

..the valid complaints of favortism towards us Dems. Yet, after say 1 minute of Trump's speeches each night (yeah, what a shitshow!) they should go split-screen to a panel discussion (Trump in the corner, sound off) or go totally dark on Trump and go panel for the entire speech.
