Overlaying the video is audio of how college students should be celebrated by going against woke.

And they chose this clip? Crazy. Tells me all I need to know.

That the GOP is the same as they ever were.

She’s not relevant but the right wing is evidently freaking out about her being not White. They’re really struggling and being gross.

Meanwhile her crap politics are right there to criticize.

I don't care about her being not white, but I want to get her a hair brush and a hair tie. Even a decent cut and style--I assume they have the means for that? Her dress was great and I think she's really pretty, but the big hank of hair falling across her eye and all the wispy bits was distracting. She looked like someone 'trying to grow out their hair", but you still tackle it for a big event. I have really thick hair as well, and I would never teach a class looking at my students with one eye while I talked, and that's how she started the speech. I found it very difficult to focus on what she was saying.

I am sure her highest priority is getting her hair coiffed to your standards, rando anon.

I mean, yeah, for a national event honoring her dh being nominated for VP, where her speech will be televised, yes, looking presentable should be one of her priorities.

You don't define the standard of normal.

You have to admit though, everyone has that insane look about them. This is what the end of the country like I guess.

Troll.

Two nights ago, the Republican mayor of Dallas gave a great speech to the RNC. I forgot his name but he’s a real person. He happens to be Black, but the first thing I noticed about him was that he’s a good politician and he makes sense. I hope to see more of him on the national stage.

+1. It's great to see some promising emerging politicians. I really enjoyed hearing from Nancy Mace--hadn't known about her, but looked her up after she spoke and found her refreshing. DNC Convention put President Obama on his trajectory, and I presume we are seeing some emerging key statespeople here. While I want competent people in government and know that many who served under Trump last time were doing it as a service to the country, not necessarily Trump, I hope that some of these promising stars don't all accept administration jobs though. He's just so polarizing; for their longevity, just keep doing what they are doing and focus on the next go round.

Take this "concern" to the Fashion and Beauty forum. It sounds ridiculous here. What is wrong with women these days and their constant criticism of other women's appearance?!!!!

And Trump slept through it again

Which will be ignored in the media again. Along with the fact we STILL have no medical report.

They are a bunch of freaks. I usually like freaks but not when they are trying to take away all my rights.

I wonder she looked fine in person but was inexperienced with being on such a big stage, in front of camera, such a wide view. I’m a lawyer too and I pull my hair back all the time in court because I have the same kind of hair. But that’s far from the glamorous look of women present at RNC conventions.

So much for "Unity" at the RNC. That whole platform is filled with so much craven, unblinking contradiction and hypocrisy.

Although I posted something on this, I was going to say, are there already threads on “Trump Women” in the beauty forum. Maybe go there?

Independent here who is watching and will watch the Democrat one too. Conventions are huge pep rallies on both sides. I’m very impressed overall with the republican convention. The majority of the speakers have been excellent.

They are obviously moving to the center politically. That’s what the winning party always does. The momentum is clearly on the Republican side.

Even the complaining about Biden is coming from a soon-to-be winner’s perspective.

That’s obvious to anyone objective viewer.

Sorry. Are you saying with a straight face you think Republicans are moving to the center? Like, you seriously think that - or seriously think we will believe that?

Have you seen Project 2025? I'd invite you to take a look! It's not centrist!

He was PRAYING, duh, he’s the most godly man in the history of America, obviously, and so when he fell asleep the first night he was praying and now he is PRAYING again, probably for your soul you godless commie liberal!

/s

Yeah, that guy’s dementia is galloping away from him. I actually kind of wonder if Biden having the bad debate early in the season was a good thing for the Democrats and bad for the Republicans. They of course think they’re walking away with this thing (it’s July! and they think they have it in the bag…), but they also thought that Trump getting winged was going to give them a landslide win and he hasn’t gotten a bump.
