  1. Lockstep? More like Goose Step if you ask me.

    Comment by 47th Ward Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 12:37 pm

  2. McKinney and the Baise piece…

    I was pleased McKinney tweeted it.

  3. I reached out to former Speaker Boehner one last time and he never responded to my golf opportunity at Murifield…

    That bummed me out.

  4. I truly believe Judy Baar Topinka would not be caught dead at this RNC this season.

  5. Baise didn’t want to be part of this? The sober and solemn gathering to select the Republican nominee to be leader of the free world?.

    It’s already an exercise in statesmanship.

    Just this morning, Trump insinuated Obama backs the cop shooters, Newt ripped Romney and called HW, W, and Jeb “childish”, and Trump’s campaign chair called Gov. Kaisich an “embarrassment to his state.”

    You can see how Trump is attracting supporters as varied as David Duke and Kim Jong Un.

  6. Mark Suppelsa doesn’t need his car to go in reverse. The Republican Party is doing it for him.

  7. What are the rules for a 17 year old delegate voting at a convention? No minimum age requirement? Just wondering.

    Comment by Anonymous Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 1:06 pm

  8. Trump called the Baton Rouge shooter a part of Radical Islam to which a male Fox Cable host said Nation of Islam. ok, we get it, conflate away.

    want Rs from Illinois with a Go Pro to show the Illinois delegation on a regular basis.

  9. What we don’t need is 8 more years of lousy Supreme Court picks

    Comment by Sue Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 1:15 pm

  10. AA thinks Flannery has reached or is nearing the “Zero (Banned Word) Given” point in his career.

    PS: The Colbert video is mildly NSFW.

    Comment by Arthur Andersen Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 1:16 pm

  11. The coverage was gripping

    Comment by Annonin' Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 1:27 pm

  12. Bumper Sticker:
    “I’d rather do Bath Salts than the RNC!”

    Comment by Arthur Andersen Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 1:43 pm

  13. Why doesn’t the Guvnah just tell the truth on why he’s really not attending?

    Comment by Union Man Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 2:05 pm

  14. best Colbert video can be found all over the web today, he crashes the podium in his Hunger Games approach to the nomination. it’s classic Colbert and very funny.

    Comment by Amalia Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 2:12 pm

  15. LOL! Amanda …

    @AmandaVinicky - Look who had a speaking role on opening day of the #RNC2016. It’s Illinois’ recently departed COO, Linda Lingle.

    If Trump wins Gov. Lingle can organize the Inaugural Parade…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 2:22 pm

  16. Where in the World is Linda Lingle??? In Cleveland! Sheesh!

    Comment by Anon221 Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 2:22 pm

  17. I had the distinct privilege of analyzing the Bath Salts Bill that BVR just signed. A profoundly worthless piece of legislation. No LEO’s, retailers, or any would-be interested party gave a hoot about it. Good job Rep. Bourne. Truly representing your constituents who voted you in…

    Comment by AlfondoGonz Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 2:44 pm

  18. It was brought to my attention… the governor “may” be attending a golf outing today… or in the days ahead… as he avoids the convention…

    If the Governor needs a “fourth”…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 2:47 pm

  19. Cannot find a list of delegates that are actually attending the convention. There might be a lot of empty seats.

    Comment by Highland, IL Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 3:07 pm

  20. Welp…

    Not folling the Rules… Chaos ensues…

    No unity, Mr. Trump. No unity.

    Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 3:17 pm

  21. Welp… RNC

    Not following the Rules… Chaos ensues…

    No unity, Mr. Trump. No unity

    If more states walk out, like Colorado… Wow…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 3:20 pm

  22. Alfondo Gond wrote in part: “no interested party..gave a hoot” about the bath salts bill.

    Does this mean Owl Sandack will get a signing pen?

    Comment by Arthur Andersen Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 3:27 pm

  23. - AA -

    I hope so.

    The Owl Sandack needs something for his efforts I guess(?)

    Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 3:30 pm

  24. Breaking: The Republican Party in Cleveland?

    Breaks my heart.

    Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 3:32 pm

  25. whats a CLE steack house?

    Comment by Todd Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 3:45 pm

  26. These next few days are definitely going to be interesting!

    Whether they are consequential or transformative remains to be seen!

    Comment by illini Monday, Jul 18, 16 @ 4:22 pm

  27. The Owl may be using his new pen for communications, since his Twitter has gone dark.
