Fear and Loathing in Cleveland

Despite the low energy vibe on display in Cleveland, the speakers at the republican convention continued to spiral lower.  Mostly they told the delegates to be very afraid of Hillary, of Muslim terrorists, of minorities and basically everyone who is not white and middle aged or older.  The loathing part of the festivities was provided by tailgunner Ted Cruz.  He managed to convey his distaste for The Donald and get booed by the convention at the same time.  Way to go, Ted.  Tonight, Trump gets to try to unite the party with a feel good speech.  That might happen in the Twilight Zone, but in Cleveland in primetime with an audience of upwards of 30 million people, I doubt Trump will talk about anything but how great he is and how "yuuuge" his campaign will be and how everyone loves him (except the aforementioned tailgunner).  When the balloons finally drop, they will probably get the biggest applause of the week.
