As I watch the RNC unfold in Ohio, I have decided that this whole election cycle is just one giant prank on the United States. Not only is it a prank, but the very few lovely law makers have decided that we can keep President Obama for 4 more years. Really. That's what's happening here. The lovely lawmakers are just waiting for the right moment to tell us this. I've also decided, that that particular moment is now. It's gone just a bit too far, so now's the time people. Start yelling Surprise...
This has to be the only explanation, right? At this moment, the guest speakers at a major political convention - a convention that is full of law makers and politicians that should be shaping the United States - are Scott Baio, Antonio Sabato Jr. and one of the dudes from Duck Dynasty. How low can you go? What inspiring tid-bit or call to action could 2 actors and a reality show star share?
In the last 4 days alone, there's been so much gun violence, it's scary. Where are police officers or the military? Surely they would have made better speakers. However, instead of shaping the conversation, they're just focusing on "winning." That's the problem. Trump cares about the finish line, not what happens next.
Also, in Ohio right now, these people that are voting for Trump because of his backward views on foreign policy, religious freedom and immigration are currently allowed to openly carry weapons - not just handguns but rifles too - directly into the convention center. What sense does this make? Hasn't there been enough pain and suffering due to guns over the last few months?
I saw something on Facebook this morning that said "My biggest fear for the future is that a UFO will land, an alien will get out and say 'Take me to your Leader.' How embarrassing that will be..." So very true. The eyes of the world are on us right now, and we're doing nothing to show them how good we can be.
