Trying to sow discord, ? This was the first night and since when did conventions dive deep into policy?

BLM?, what a joke. Did everyone receive a participation trophy?

Interesting....

GFY

It was all talk and no action not to mention boring. 🙄🤷‍♀️

Obviously a Trumplican came up with this headline. It's not a one day convention.

Add this to your praise of BLM. The man hasn’t woken yet... This is what you want Dems? I’m so proud of your “wokeness”.

Yes. Big checks . Big checks. Going to the bank $

We have 3 more days... it’s not a lightning round😁

Over whelming majority of black men killed resist arrest or threaten police Black people are more likely 2 be killed by other black people BLMMarxist steer clear of this truth Nightly riots fuel this gathering storm Civil war looms large as Satans dogs of war roam the streets

What are you doing?

That is what has happened for forty years. Politicians are all talk and promises before election then nothing done when elected. Trump only candidate who has even attempted to fulfill promises.

BLM doesn't even support the the democrat candidates, lol

The 2016 GOP convention broke into chants of Blue Lives Matter several times. So, there's that.

You’re just struggling to find anything to gripe about with this, aren’t you?
