different topics - one for each night. Thus, he'll be spouting and spewing the same BS every night for four nights for boring, repetitious rants, just to hype up the base.

Nothing new here, folks. We're at a point where we can all recite his "speeches" by heart, "like no one has ever seen before".

Not sure I want to hear that drone voice amplified x 4, tho.

Mouth synch should be fun, also. Maybe Sarah Cooper could make a good mash-up. (Feel sorry for Sarah having to deal with this cretin.)

What's he going to say at the convention that's any different from his usual crap? It'll just be a blizzard of lies, hatred and self-praise.

He's bound to blabber on like a raving lunatic with moments of pure hate speech. He could actually cause the polls to take a reverse bounce after the thing is over.

I won't be watching. Nobody there I'm interested in seeing or hearing from.

I'll catch the "post-game show" with Rachel & Co. each evening. They'll have all the "best" quotes, reports, and speech bits. I'd rather get it from them rather than the proverbial "horse's mouth" - or more accurately, "horse's ass's mouth."
