1. I thought it was this....

Monday - rage that Isaac could dare to ruin their party
Tuesday - lies, followed by racism, then hatred, then bigotry, then more lies
Wednesday - racism, followed by bigotry, lies, then hatred (to change things up a bit)
Thursday - screw all the other stuff - just lies, racism and hatred.

The governors of FL and AL are skipping the convention.

It looks like they invited every person of color who they could find!
