Related: About this forumThis whole convention is one big hate fest...
Not saying that I expected any different, but there is not one positive idea or policy plan coming from any of the speakers. Well, one did but that was plagiarized.

When all was said and done, the weirdest part about last night's Republican Convention opening act was the fact that Scott Baio was the most competent speaker to darken the stage. The content of his message was a hot mess, but he delivered it eloquently and with class.
The same could not be said for the rest of the rogue's gallery of shouters, stompers and weepers who reeled their way through a truly unique night.
Also, Chachi didn't crib any lines from the First Lady, so extra points for him.
