Where are the SIGNS??=snip=
Where were the signs?
Typically, the campaign or party prints up thousands of signs with the names of the biggest speakers, and then hands them out to delegates on the floor.
But last night there was a noticeable lack of signs on the floor, which only reinforced the sense that there was a lack of enthusiasm inside the arena. It was a classic rookie mistake. Either no one knew that the signs were needed, or no one was able to get them ready in time.

He's also so self-absorbed that he doesn't notice the details, like he should.
I think the RNC is spending as LITTLE AS POSSIBLE on this clusterfuck. If they could have re-used signage from previous conventions, they probably would have!

A comeback is still possible, assuming the rest of the convention is somehow significantly better than the lackluster program on Monday. But if things dont improve, Cleveland 2016 is in danger of becoming one of the most poorly executed presidential nominating conventions in recent U.S. history.

And yes, signs. I think as far as conventions go and
the results they're designed to achieve, this one is a
complete self-inflicted disaster for Trump.

(7,188 posts)many signs each night for each of the themes and speakers. People would come around and pick up the used ones so you didn't inadvertently hold the wrong sign.
Very strange there are no signs other than trump.
I imagine he saved some $$ by not having any
