Welcome to the utter and total shitshow known as the "Republican National Convention" day 4! When will it ever end? This thread is for news and discussion, but we won't be removing any other RNC posts from the subreddit like those /r/politics mods do. In fact, if you post in this subreddit about the RNC, post a link in the comments and I'll post it in this self post.

LIVESTREAM OF THE SHITVENTION!

On the last episode of the Republican National Dumpsterfire:

• Ted Cruz doesn't endorse Trump, gives him the ol' middle finger.

The biggest hypocrisy so far from the_donald

The Trump family watching the end of Ted Cruz's speech.

Cruz tells the crowd to vote their conscience. (Not Trump).

Cruz attacks Trumpettes - "What does it say when I say 'vote your conscience' and people start screaming?"

/r/the_donald proves that Trump lied when he said that he knew Cruz wasn't going to endorse him and let him speak anyway.

FiveThirtyEight on Twitter: "Now Cruz is retweeting #NeverTrump people"

Newt Gingrich Probably Just Gave the Last Major Speech of His Career

Tiffany Trump’s Sad, Vague Tribute to Her Distant Father - this article on Tiffany Trump's relationship with her father is sad and depressing.

G.O.P.’s Moneyed Class Finds Its Place in New Trump World - this is an excellent article on how lobbyists and big money donors are getting in bed with Trump and the GOP. Their motto is “Make Lobbying Great Again.” Anyone who thinks Trump is anti-establishment is getting lied to on a massive scale.

“Lock Her Up!” The bloodlust in Chris Christie’s speech against Hillary Clinton is not normal. It’s sick.

It's Official: Hillary Clinton Is Running Against Vladimir Putin: Fulfilling what might be the Russian autocrat’s dearest wish, Trump has openly questioned whether the U.S. should keep its commitments to NATO.
