2016 USA Presidential election thread I: The warm-up

[Quicklet]

I have no idea, but I hope the DNC wouldn't be stupid enough to ignore their own rules.

Trump would have won the floor vote and it would have appeased the party. I don't know what the fallout from this is going to be but you already have a lot of conservatives angry over the RNC not following its own rules.

The Iowa and Colorado delegations have already walked off the floor of the convention in protest.

I feel like this needs some elaboration.

[kisada]

before convention began it read as "white elevators"

[Ardrial]

before convention began it read as "white elevators"

How are either one of those an actual thing?

[Niiro]

One assumes the building uses color-coded elevators and the new sign was a joke?

I mean, I certainly hope that's what's going on.

[kisada]

well that's a photoshop right? all i know is it was white and they were in the process of renaming it

[Wulfgang]

Will be shocked if the death toll from RNC-related protester/supporter hijinx is less than 5.

[Xantavia]

I'm guessing it was some unpaid, uneducated intern's attempt at caucusing elevator.

[Mertron]

are you people for real

[Dimmauk]

Police unions in Cleveland are now pushing to suspend open carry laws for the RNC convention because of the recent killings in Baton Rouge.

Why did it have to take officers being killed for this to happen...?

Guns in schools and kiddie parks are ok by them, but not at their own convention. Hopefully no criminals show up.

I don't think you can bookend a soldier's appearance between Duck Dynasty and Scott Baio and still claim you support the troops.
