Who is planning to watch the RepubliCon next week?

I'm planning to lock my TV on CSPAN for the duration. How about you?

But this convention is going to be entertaining. I may even get cable for it.

I mean, FOUR DAYS and no promise he'll at least fire someone every day... And with the party leadership's competence in blocking the rebels who want to transfer the voters' power to the delegates, we can't even count on some really good floor fights, although we can certainly hope. I do want to see Mrs. Trump finally prove she can talk, but a couple sentences of that will be enough.

I'm thinking about Old Busthead (bottled in the barn) and swampwater. If the RepubliCon doesn't give me a splitting headache, that certainly will.

But I fully expect to become so disgusted at some point I'll have to switch it off.

12. I'm torn; I'm sure it will be comedy gold, but I can't actually listen to Trump speak.

He makes me physically ill.

I might read transcripts of the speeches.

Listening to Trump makes me ill, too. But I wouldn't miss watching the convention if my house was on fire, so I think I'll just mute it when Trump speaks.
