Empty seats?
I still can't get over the fact that there were
EMPTY seats at this affair.
I mean, people, this is their big showcase. The big
enchilada. The big rollout.
When Barack Obama accepted the nom there 2 months ago
they were packed like sardines in there, with 20,000
outside. (BTW, the capacity is 18-20,000)

What are your thoughts on this?

I was blown away by this. Just stunned.

4. FAUX Noise said there were "only" 17,000 outside....their trick now is to place people further apart
...so it looks like the place is being filled.

5. They know they're in trouble.
They can't even fill up their own convention. They have failed at everything. They have lied to us, spied on us, cheated us out of our hard earned tax dollars, and they have NOTHING LEFT.

They started an illegal war based on lies, the economy is in the toilet, the deficit has gone through the roof, government is bigger and less efficient than ever, and it's all their doing. They have NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING to show America for the last eight years.

The Republicans are pathetic, lying, hypocrites. That's all they've got. Their record speaks for itself.
