The Republican National Convention is underway, where the nation’s freakiest ghouls gather to make bizarre speeches and plot the future destruction of the planet. We’re halfway through and things have already gotten seriously odd, with the cherry on top being Kimberly Guilfoyle’s surreal screaming speech delivered to a largely empty room. It seems that this was too out-there even for Trump’s campaign, with his advisors describing it as “strange” and “weird.”
Further eyebrows were raised by an appearance by Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the gun-toting couple who made news as they threatened protesters walking past their home. They claimed that the Democrats want to “abolish the suburbs” and would bring “crime and lawlessness” to our streets. Strong words from a couple who are facing felony charges for unlawful use of a weapon.

Part way through former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley’s speech on the first night of the GOP convention — just before she delved into a biographical story about how her Indian parents “faced discrimination and hardship” as she was growing up, and then toured through wrenching moments of her governorship, including confronting the white supremacist mass murder at the Mother Emanuel Ame Church in Charleston, and the fight to remove the Confederate flag from the grounds of the statehouse in Columbia, Haley insisted: “In much of the Democratic party it...

The Republican National Convention has already begun, with a morning session in which Donald Trump and Mike Pence will be renominated.
The heart of the proceedings, though, will come this evening, when we’ll finally get a look at how the Trump team manages a very different convention in the midst of the pandemic.
With a vastly scaled back presence in the host city of Charlotte, Trump plans to deliver his acceptance speech on Thursday from the south lawn of the White House. But he also plans to speak on each of the other three nights, albeit it is not exactly clear when and from where. Trump is visiting North Carolina on Monday, but he is due to return to Washington in the late afternoon.
In contrast to Democrats’ reliance on packages and some taped speeches, Trump has expressed a preference for live events and even those with some semblance of a crowd.
