Unconventional

First,. I did not watch the Republican convention. I did not expect to learn anything and was confident that watching the greatest hits on the recap shows would be plenty. It was.

There was a couple things on the greatest hits that stood out. Foremost, the despicable behavior of Rudy Giuliani. He talked about the deaths of the Americans in Ben Ghazi and follow that with a quotation from Hillary Clinton that said at this point what does it matter. That quotation was in response to enlist questions in the multiple hearings as to whether the attackers have been motivated buy a single anti-Islamic event in Egypt or just a general desire to attack Americans. The way Giuliani juxtaposed it made it look is though Hillary Clinton had a General indifference to their deaths. I did not expect Giuliani to channel his inner Joseph McCarthy. The Republican surrogates, consultants, spokes people and the like seem to think that Giuliani was terrific. So did the audience. What was just heartening was not so much what Giuliani did but that it was deemed not only acceptable but worthy of praise.

Not to be outdone, Chris Christie allege that Hillary Clinton was responsible for the kidnapping in Nigeria by Boko haran of the schoolgirls. This occurred two years after she was Secretary of State. Christie apparently claims that it only happened because years before this terrorist organization was not put on a list. Not only is there no reasonable causal link there isn't even coincidence.

We have yet to hear any reasonably specific strategy from Trump as to how he is going to defeat terrorism, create jobs, and generally make America great. One way would be for him to go away.
