… Despite Trump’s promise to bring us a Hollywood-type of show, the programming in Cleveland is no different than any convention I’ve ever attended. There are speakers at a podium.

The most disruptive candidate in modern history has done nothing to dismantle or redefine the party convention. And, yet I’ve also never witnessed the kind of raw hatred toward an opposing party candidate as I’ve seen here. The chants of “lock her up” go beyond anything I have ever seen. Whatever your political beliefs or views, this isn’t something that anyone should be proud of or a trend that any of us should want to see continue.
Despite my fogginess and weariness, these are the four key things I have learned from the convention thus far: CONT.
