Blogger Candidate Forum: Day Three Wrap Up

Hello Everyone:

Just a quick note on Day three of the Republican National Committee Convention. Today's session was less dramatic but no less fascinating. The highlights of the day included Governor Mike Pence excepting the nomination for Vice President. His speech was a nice self-introduction. He hit on all the usual themes of how Republican policies work every time and how Donald Trump will be the leader that will make America great. The delivery was good, folksy, a nice counterpoint to the bombast of some of the previous speakers. That is the one thing about these conventions, they are full of bluster and bombast. The awkward moment of the evening came when Senator Ted Cruz was booed off the stage. Senator Cruz finished second to Mr. Trump but has refused to endorse him. When began his speech this evening, it was to cheers but his non-endorsement illicit e's boos and jeers. It did not help matters when Mr. Trump enter the convention site, amid cheers.  It has been a very odd convention so far.  The oddness stems from an unconventional candidate, running an unconventional campaign. The real test will come during the debates and on Election Day. Tomorrow is the grand finale, Donald Trump speaks. This should be a good show.
