If you've been looking for "ideas" or "policies" from the podium of the Republican National Convention Sh*tshow, you've been disappointed (?).  What you  have seen are a lot of fever dreams, some plagiarism, a little backstabbing, but mostly you'll get rage-gasms and more rage-gasms,  directed at Hillary Clinton.  They have nothing, zero, nada to offer except their uninformed hatred, conspiracy theories, lies and an unfit, dangerous demagogue as their nominee.

BONUS:  John Avlon echoes the mood at the sh*tshow:

And the illusion of being a party built on policies and principles, rather than cultural and economic resentments, seems lost to the latest generation of Know-Nothings. Free trade has been all but abandoned but the anti-gay platform has been enhanced. 

Hating Hillary, a time-honored pastime in conservative circles, has become the glue that holds this motley crew together. But even that partisan emotional outlet has crossed the line from typical team-ism to something darker and more surreal. A recurring theme in the convention hall is the chant to “Lock Her Up” while wearing T-shirts that say “Hillary for Prison.” There are countries where political opponents are threatened with imprisonment. America hasn’t traditionally been one of them. 

But this time it feels different. America is on the knife-edge of something dangerous.
