An embarrassingly stupid question here:

I should know this but because I cannot watch the clown show, i need to ask: Trump was supposed to be speaking every night but I'm not hearing anything about his BS. Did he/is he speaking every night? Apologies for my ignorance.

First, Malcolm X taught that the only stupid question was the one that remained unasked.

Second, yes, he was supposed to be talking every night. But could even he compete with that dynamic, charismatic Pence?

propaganda like asking common folk how much they love him, appreciate him - i.e. presiding over citizenship endowment (bet he'll deport them after November), issuing a pardon, like that.

He won't be speaking tonight. He tripped over his tie in the bathroom. He fell and hit his head on the toilet. He's unresponsive. They are air lifting him to a reptile hospital in Florida.

I think he's going to show up at the tail end of Pence's speech.
