Speakers Spent A Lot More Time Bashing Hillary Clinton Than Praising Donald Trump

The Banana Republic Speakers Spent A Lot More Time Bashing Hillary Clinton Than Praising Donald Trump

Several of the night’s big-name speakers barely acknowledged Trump, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who said Trump would sign Republican-backed bills and fill the seat of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, but little else about the business mogul.
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) mentioned Trump only twice during his 10-minute speech, while House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) mentioned the newly minted nominee once.

Banana republic or banana state is a political science term for politically unstable countries in Latin America whose economies are largely dependent on exporting a limited-resource product, e.g.bananas. It typically has stratified social classes, including a large, impoverished working class and a ruling plutocracy of business, political, and military elites.[1] This politico-economic oligarchy controls the primary-sector productions to exploit the country's economy.[2]

I can't find a link but heard it on CBS this morning getting ready for work.

He said they know much more about Hillary than they do about their own candidate, Donald Trump.
