Republican National Convention: Day 2 (Off To Work We Go)

The big news, or at least what the msm is obsessing over, is that a significant portion of Melania Trump’s speech was plagiarized from the one given by First Lady Michelle Obama at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Apparently no one in the Trump campaign ran the speech through a Google search. Naturally, they can’t admit they screwed up and have spent most of the day trotting out defenses that have more holes than a sieve. My Little Pony? Seriously? And of course, it’s all Hillary’s fault.

Prior to Mrs. Trump, it is was the D-list of speakers were demanding that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton be jailed, falling short of one West Virginia state legislative member who wants her publicly hung on the Washington Mall. The there was the former soap opera actor and underwear model, proclaiming that we’ve had a Muslim from the Middle East in the Oval Office for seven and a half years. By the way, Antonio Sabato, Jr. is Italian, not Hispanic. And what would the convention be without Rudy “a noun, a verb, and 9/11” Guiliani raging about Benghazi, crime and race.

Running late the last two speakers, Iowa Sen. Joni “I castrate hogs with my teeth” Earnst and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn followed Mrs. Trump, speaking to a nearly empty stadium.

Today’s theme is “Making America Work Again” and the 6 PM roll call vote to formally nominate Donald Trump for president and Illinois Governor Mike Pense for vice president (much to the relief of the people of Illinois). On the speaking roster are:

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI)

Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ)

Retired neurosurgeon and from GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson. That should be areal sleeper.

Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White and a couple of Trump’s kids, Tiffany and Donald, Jr.

Last night, CBS “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert resurrected the Real Stephen Colbert and dragged friend Jon Stewart out of hibernation to explain how Donald Trump became the presidential nominee.

After a grand entrance and a quick studio renovation, The Real Stephen trotted out a new word: Trumpiness

Stephen and Jon will be live tonight on “The Late Show” to help make sense of the events.
