So far each night of the circus (RNC), the intended message was overshadowed by controversy

What will overshadow tonight's coronation of Don the Con?

Any predictions?

Violence in the streets?
Violence in the arena?
Mass exodus of delegates?

So far the RNC has not failed to disappoint with Chaos.

It was all a bunch of lies and hate for Hillary Clinton.
No vision. No goals. No solutions.
Just a gigantic festival of bullshit.
The cheeto-encrusted emperor has no clothes
and apparently, no compass.

The way some of the delegates turned on Heidi Cruz is scary. If Trump incites during his acceptance speech things could get ugly.
