The theme of Tuesday night's Republican National Convention was "Make America Work Again," but it might have more accurately been dubbed "Work to Make America Hate Hillary Clinton." According to a tally from FiveThirtyEight, speakers on Tuesday said "Hillary" 87 times, "Clinton" 70, and "jobs" just 24 times. "Donald" was said 59 times, as was "Trump" — and two of Trump's children were among the featured speakers. "Work" fared better than jobs, with 37 mentions, and "business" tied with "government" at 25 nods. So much for “Make America Work Again.” https://t.co/zF5ofmETDU #GOPConvention pic.twitter.com/PzcNOD7hPc — FiveThirtyEight (@FiveThirtyEight) July 20, 2016

Trump stood up some donors.

"The group of 40 from companies such as Continental Resources, BNSF Railway, and C Spire mingled with Republican members of Congress around breakfast tables set up on one of [FirstEnergy Stadium's] concourses. The Republican representatives addressed the group, ostensibly stalling for Trump. […] Eventually, though, the speeches ran out and Trump never showed. He had, they found out later, unexpectedly flown back to New York overnight with no word on when he might return. The group was led out to the football field, where NFL team the Cleveland Browns play, to take pictures before they were let go with no information about when and if a third meeting might take place."

Tues. morning, July 19th, at about 8:15 AM (EST)

At work watching a bit of Joe Scarborough & Mika on MSBNC online.

Joe is reporting the following:

1. Trump "insiders" are saying that Melania has become disillusioned with the campaign because she feels that Manafort and Trump's kids pressured Donald into picking a VP that he didn't want.

2. Melania did NOT want to do the speech last night but was pressured into doing it by Donald.

3. Manafort's allies are trying to throw Melania under the bus insisting that it was Melania herself who inserted Michelle Obama's words into her speech, last night.

As I expressed yesterday – if it wasn't for the fact that that dangerous fraud is just one election away from possibly winning the presidency I would sit back and watch this slow-moving colossal train-wreck unfold with endless glee.

Caught a little of the Repub reality-show yesterday and last night.

Just let me say that I am in total agreement with everyone who described the circus as "started off Bad and went downhill from there" descending into a catastrophe last night with Melania Trump delivering a plagiarized speech.

But I shall refrain from commenting further until I see what DJ posts about this morning.

Lol I saw the announcement Saturday and you're right it was real akward. Then I saw them do a interview together and it was even worse. They contradict each other some much it wasn't even funny. Trump has been bashing Hillary about voting on the war in Iraq but when the reporter told him Pence voted for it too he got mad and said 'I don't care'. Lol no wonder Trump tried to change his mind at the last minute. This pair does not work.
