I wonder if Britain is regretting leaving the EU?

Kudos to the prognosticators who said Trump would not pick Gingrich...that The Donald would never allow himself to be upstaged by The Newt anywhere, anytime. And sure enough, Trump has reached for the dullest knife in the drawer.

People like Trump want to surround themselves with sycophantic yes-men. When Trump said a Hispanic judge was disqualified from hearing a case involving him, Newt said Trump was totally wrong, Newt's Vice-Presidency ended right there. Not a team player.

Trump likes Christie, but only because they are so much alike. But there is only room for one alpha-male attack dog on this ticket, and his name is not Christie.

Pence is perfect. Nobody outside of Indiana has ever heard of him. No personality at all. He has beta-male written all over him. Maybe his Midwestern blandness will appeal to Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan, where Trump hasn't been mathematically eliminated.

You have idiot written all over you...

Looks like the Obama, Kerry, PAH foreign policy team have successfully turned Turkey into an Islamic state.

[Jungle Rat]

Yeah. It's his fault.

[Professor Tiger]

Was there a YouTube video offensive to Muslims that aired in Nice, France, recently?

And Turkey has been Islamist for most of their history. Their slaughter of Armenian Christians during WWI was one of the biggest holocausts of the 20th century. Ataturk started a brief courtship with modernity, but they are returning to just another medieval theocratic Islamic nutcase of a country.

"Their slaughter of Armenian Christians during WWI was one of the biggest holocausts of the 20th century."

LOL...

Okay, he ain't Clint Eastwood. But he was a big deal 40 years ago, I guess. Joannie Loves Chachi was on for a couple of seasons. He was The Phonze's little cousin, after all.

So why did he say yes to Trump when no one else would take The Donald's phonecall? "It's very simple, because when he speaks I understand him," said Baio in explaining his convention endorsement. "He speaks like I speak, he communicates with people very well. I want him, as any one person can do, to go into Washington and blow it up."

This is sooooooo great..

Of course, the headliner tonight is Mrs. Donald J. Trump the 3rd

Ooops. Did not mean to forget this guy. Willie may get the loudest ovation of the evening (and may get some write-in votes along the way). He originally backed Cruz, but he has a flair for flexibility when it comes to staying in the spotlight.

[Professor Tiger]

Willie Nelson's mini-me.

Holy shit, Bob Dole's pants are pulled up to his tits...

Man, it's all downhill after 90...

Lotta empty seats, crowd seems subdued. I'm getting a bad vibe. This could turn into a disaster. Here's hoping...

Now we're getting some red meat. Hillary is a liar and a murderer. Woof...

You're really into the GOP convention. I'm watching "That 70's Show." I probably won't watch the convention all week. But please feel free to keep us posted.
