Should be quite the debacle. Who else plans to watch some of it?

I'll definitely be keeping tabs. I'm just REALLY irritated at Kasich for not attending, even after the "oath" he took. Just proves how childish and corrupt these guys are. The guy doesn't have to 100% agree with Trump's positions, but he can still support him as he promised to do.

I read earlier that they asked Kasich to suspend the open carry law for one day so the convention can be safe for all police personnel in wake of what has happened recently, and Kasich said no.

Good! At least he's not a hypocrite.

Revoking open carry would likely have the opposite effect.

Yes, he is. Did you read my post? He made an oath and went back on his word.



The fact that he said no to the open carry law for that particular area was a matter of laziness on his part. Had nothing to do with his beliefs. He simply said he didn't think he had the power to do it.

You say went back on his word, I say he came to his senses.

People are saying Trumps wife basically said almost the same speech that Michelle Obama said. Who ever wrote it, def plagiarized. It's pretty obvious.

There were only 2 or 3 statements in there that were definitely similar. However, those are very typical in a speech like this, and done by countless others. I thought there would be more similarities judging by the few who brought it up. But, this doesn't seem to be plagiarism in my book based upon the 2 or 3 statements within a 10 minute long speech.

I suppose I did not see that part. I checked out a few articles about the current decision. If there was a flip-flop then I revoke any credit I gave him.
