    C-SPAN's Washington Journal show this morning is interviewing RNC delegates and someone from the rules committee.

    What a mess, what a shame. Both national delegates interviewed stated on live tv that they would not be voting for Trump in November. Ha!

    Rules Committee special counsel will vote for Trump, based on potential for SCOTUS nominations.

    The RNC and the media have gift-wrapped this election for Hillary Clinton, and the convention is a nice shiny bow.

    "3 CRUZLIMS: We’re voting for Hillary." At least they admit they are voting for Hillary.

    People here are vowing to boo Ted Cruz when he speaks. They blame him for not reigning in his Cruzlims.
    Good, I hope they do.

    Same as it ever was:

    If I asked you what a potential first lady was going to say in her speech, you'd have an easy time coming up with a list, and you'd be right for pretty much every speech recent enough to be picked at. My husband's more than a candidate; he's also so wonderful, so caring, such a good father. He keeps his word. He wants to make the world a better place for his family. He's going to be amazing as President. blah blah blah blah

    The word for word part mostly finds its roots in every speech writer using the same dumb phrases. It's along the same line as how most resumes use vague, interchangeable bullet points. Did you know almost everyone is organized? Motivated? A self-starter?

    I know the initial claim is that she wrote the speech herself, but that seems unlikely. It isn't that she's stupid --- she's actually highly intelligent, imo --- but that speeches like this seldom get released without going through the wringer and being scrutinized by "professionals." Now they can add running the speech through a plagiarism detection algorithm to their list as well.
    Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.

    They are announcing the votes from the podium before the states chair can even vote.

    Some of them were going to try to abstain.

    I've never seen them do that before. That's new. They are also not recognizing the other candidates votes.

    edit: well they just recognized some Cruz votes.

    She was quite enthusiast. This guy knows every black person in LA? Very impressive. He must throw some big parties.

    So it looks like they are counting bound and unbound votes for other candidates. They didn't do that at all in 2012, I'm guessing the extra scrutiny this time paid off.

    The announcers on stage can't do anything without consulting with the table.

    I don't understand the point of all of this. If the chair is going to tell the states what their votes are, why do the states have to announce the vote?

    Majority abstention, most likely. Or possibly some states are going out of order for a certain state like NY to cast the votes to put him over the majority.
