GOP Convention Night #2: The Prosecution of Hillary

Last night's convention turned into somewhat of a courtroom where the opposition ie Hillary Clinton was tried and hung in the court of public opinion.

It all started with remarks by Co-Chair of the Republican National Committee, Sharon Day and was completed by Chris Christie who played an amazing role that garnered major audience participation.

Here are some of the points Christie made about why HC should not become the next president of the United States.

Number One:  HC was Chief Diplomat during her time as SOS and she did not do her job. That she was the Chief Engineer in regards to the overthrowing of Gaddafi, PM of Libya and how it left a vacuum for terrorists to take over. How she fought to keep an Al Qaeda affiliate off the terrorist list and as a result , hundreds of women were abducted and tortured. How she opposed 'buy American' policy. That she defended al-Assad of Syria back when we could have done something about him. How she helped to launch the worst nuclear deal with Iran. The list went on and on.

I believe Christie did a masterful job of obliterating HC. No question he'll be the next Attorney General should The Donald win the presidency.

Shortly after Christie's appearance, Tiffany Trump spoke. Though she's quite young and just graduated college, I thought she did a great job with her presentation. She praised The Donald as a great dad and one who taught her to always to aspire to being the best. Tiffany was poised, energetic and well spoken for one so young.

The star of the night however,  was Donald Trump, Jr.

He talked about free markets, capitalism, hard work and accountability. He mentioned how his dad had him driving tractors and learning the construction business from the bottom up. And how that helped to round him out as a person and helped him in running businesses. Very inspirational.

He then went on to critique Hillary Clinton with the usual accusations. However he came up with the best one liner of the night where he said something to the effect that 'if Hillary Clinton became president she would be the first one who couldn't pass a basic background check'. Awesome.

Other speakers included Dana White, President of Ultimate Fighting Championship; Governor Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas; Chris Cox of the NRA; Natalie Gulbis, professional golfer; Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader; Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House and Kevin McCarthy, Majority Leader. The least inspirational speakers? Our top leaders in Congress.

Overall the evening was a second night of praising The Donald's character, accomplishments and how he would Make America Work, which was the evening's theme. But it was also about taking Hillary Clinton down, reducing her to size and brandishing her character big time.

One last note. I am a lover of inspirational quotes that pack a lot of meaning into a short and memorable sentence or two.

Here are two that were mentioned by professional golfer Natalie Gulbis and credited to the Trumpster:

"Never fear challenging the status quo"

"In everything you do, be fearless"

Good advice to follow ...
