We All Know What's Gonna Happen With The Repug Convention......

Trump - watching tonight's Dem Convention and seeing how successful it came off and all the accolades that are being given to this event - is probably seething with anger because it came off so good.

Right now he's probably on the phone with the organizers of the Repug Convention telling them they got to make the Repug Convention come off 'tremendously better' than the Dems and telling them what they need to do in order to make that happen in order to please him.

Trump - being the TV genius he is - will start providing them with his twisted ideas - and how the focus needs to be on him - Trump. He'll tell them they need to make him the star of the Repug Convention and give them tips as to how to do that.

So what is going to happen? Like they always do the Repugs will over-react; over produce and go overboard in trying to please Trump and they will fail miserably with their production.

They will have a hard time finding speakers and celebrities that could talk up Trump to the extent that he wants to be talked up - and the ones that they do find will be D-Lister's and not have any impact on the American Public. They're going to have to rely heavily on the Trump family - and you know how well the Trump family goes over with the American People.

And heaven forbid they try and rely on Trump's supporters. Can you imagine the menagerie of 'deplorables' that they'll parade across the screen?

The Repug talking heads will have a hard time trying to put a positive spin on this turd of a production - and the Repug Convention will come off getting the ratings of Trump's inauguration (and that biggest crowd ever to attend) - in D.C..

That's my prediction for the Repug Convention. Anyone else want to share their thoughts?

Maybe Ted Nugent can sing “Cat Scratch Fever” to show how much Trump loves family values.

that the nutjobs who pulled guns on protesters during the George Floyd protests for walking down the street in front of their house have been invited to participate in the republican convention. So there is that.

The media will tell it's wonderful and "really resonates" with Murika, and how, "wow... he's just not a 'normal politician'".

They'll give us hundreds of "focus groups" from Dumbfuckistan Murika shitholes with people saying; "gee, I just wish he would tweet less", as if the only problem with him is how he talks.

Mark my words, the media will once again play the role of "fluffer" for the Retrumplicans.

I hope it will be as much of a mess as I expect it to be.
