7. Colorado delegates walked out

9 states wanted a roll-call vote. The chair did a voice vote on denying the roll call and said the 'ayes have it' and former Senator Gordon Humphrey said 'they might not be fascists, but they are acting like fascists'. And there we go...

[chelsea0011]

16. ...that might be his later tempered response because he did call them "brown shirts"

and there is nothing ambiguous about that....he is flat out calling them fascists.

[Marthe48]

19. I heard that too

The Senator and others seemed really surprised they got shut out. So many chickens coming home to roost.

[pangaia]

30. What is the significance of 9 states wanting a roll call vote?

[Johnny2X2X]

38. Seven needed

They needed 7 states to force a roll call vote.

By not allowing a roll call vote the leadership broke their own rules.

[Purveyor]

8. Just as was said on CBSN, this will be the most media covered

convention in modern times.

I don't think that is necessarily good for us...

[63splitwindow]

12. Depends. If everything goes to shit for all to see it's GREAT for us. nt

[Purveyor]

15. I don't know. There is huge anti-establishment sentiment out here in

the flyovers that actually want to see thing broken and thrown out.

[bluestateguy]

14. Convenions are siupposed to unifty the party

If the opposite hapens, it donesnt matter how much it is covered, it wqill hurt them

[Ebbegirl]

10. A full blown Circus

[bluedigger]

11. "The activists saw their proposals — many of which were intended to push the party to the right ..."

Yeah, that's the problem. The GOP isn't far right enough.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. OMG, the Republicans are suppressing votes at their own convention, who'd have thought it?

Do they have to show an Ohio Photo ID?

[chelsea0011]

17. ain't karma great?

[NurseJackie]

18. It makes me feel like ...

[Boudica the Lyoness]

21. Trump has really pissed off the establishment.

[SummerSnow]

[SummerSnow]

[asiliveandbreathe]

25. Denied rollcall for STOP TRUMP

Former U.S. Senator from New Hampshire Humphrey called them brown shirts and fascists..msm will use fascists but they will not repeat the Brown Shirt comment.....

[Fritz Walter]

26. Second Alarm notification

The dumpster file is now burning out of control.
Dispatch:
Additional units required on scene. Ladder 2; Pumper 3; Trucks 4, 5 and 6 respond. Report to on-scene command upon arrival. Rescue 1, stand by.
Notify PAO, PD, and utilities.
Prepare to evacuate surrounding buildings.


Stay tuned. Film at Eleven.

[sofa king]

27. A train wreck

I cannot recommend anything more highly than the Twitch.tv broadcast, where the live viewer comments are a never-ending stream of cynical one-liners.

https://www.twitch.tv/gopconvention

Turns out that Democrats can type much faster than Republicans, and with far more acerbic wit.

"What are they shouting?"

"Build a moat! Build a moat!"

Then, when they took the group picture:

"Let's play Where's Waldo, only with black people."

"This is how I want to remember Evil America."

[crim son]

35. I took your advice and you're right, it's very entertaining! n/t

[klook]

39. "Cheeto pen15s matter"

[pangaia]

28. I haven't watched a convention since 1968.

But, I may just watch this one.

Maybe better than Netflix.

[Motley13]

29. loving it

[red dog 1]

32. Oh boy!

and this is just the first day!

K&R, thanks for posting.

[brooklynite]

33. UPDATE: GOP identifies States which withdrew..

The GOP is stating that Minnesota, Iowa, Washington, D.C. and Maine were the delegations that removed themselves from the roll call/Dump Trump vote, according to NBC. The Trump opponents reject that any delegations backed off.

"There is no precedent for this in parliamentary procedure," said Utah Sen. Mike Lee. "There is no precedent for this in the rules of the Republican National Convention. We are now in uncharted territory. Somebody owes us an explanation."

[SummerSnow]

34. Republicans suppressing votes??? Never

[NBachers]

36. I think they need the Urban Drum Squad on the floor right in front of the stage.

[NastyRiffraff]

37. Too funny!

I just popped an extra bowl of popcorn!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

41. "Bricks bats axes knives?"

[JustAnotherGen]

42. N/T

[Mc Mike]

44. Is the convention floor a pokemon go trainer site, yet?

That would really add to the fun.

[murielm99]

45. I called my husband in and

played the C-Span clip of the chaos. It is a bit under seventeen minutes long. Since, I was still doing some housework, I went back to cleaning the bathroom. I had my CD player on in the next room, away from the computer. There was an eclectic mix of music, everything from Mendelssohn to ACDC. Guess what came up first? "Highway to Hell." I kid you not.

[HuskyOffset]

46. This is . . .

. . . delicious. Yes, one of the most delicious things ever. As long as nobody gets hurt.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

47. I bet right about now they regret banning water guns in the hall...
