The Republican convention in Cleveland devolved into chaos on Monday as the chair shut down a parliamentary request for a roll call vote on adopting the rules of the convention.
The request for a roll call vote came from Never Trump forces that hoped to defeat the convention rules and rewrite new rules that would have ultimately allowed delegates to vote for a candidate other than Donald Trump.
When it came time to consider the roll call vote, the chair ignored petitions submitted by Never Trump delegates.
Former U.S. Senator Gordon Humphrey described the maneuver by the chair as fascist, “This is a meeting of brown shirts . . . people who act like fascists.”
The Colorado delegation walked out of the convention after the role call vote was denied.
Day one of the convention, and the party is imploding.
I'm wondering if you like posting what you hope rather than what's actually happened. You have a point though, it was utter chaos.. Oh wait, I watched the pep rally and it was pretty normal aside it from being, you know a pep rally

So apparently Rep. Steve King has stated that White society (Westernized Christian Europeans and Americans) have contributed more to civilization than any other minority.
I would be horrified at how racist this is if I wasn't already horrified that we already had a thread about how little Africans have contributed. Jeez the racism is really coming out nowadays.....
Also apparently Melania Trump plagiarized Michelle Obama's speech. Ouch...

Really? If true this is the first I've heard of it. But it still doesn't take away that she ripped an Obama speech which is ironic. They could have spin it if it were a Nancy Reagan one or something. But meh. It's silly and stupid for them to not catch that.
@lestov I seen that panel with Rep King. I dunno I mean yea he's an idiot with obvious racial insensitivity but I'm not so sure that comment came out the way he meant
Actually if Michelle Obama ripped the speech from someone else then yeah people complaining that someone else ripped it from her is asinine so it does indeed take some stuff away from it.
So T1 is this true? Since it once again just shows utter hypocrisy if it is.
So surely the media wouldn't flip out over this if Obama had done the same thing, surely she didn't..right?

That's pretty standard for election strategists though. They do elections in different countries and some have been known to do different elections in the same country for different parties.
