We now return you to your regularly scheduled Megathread!

Today is July 15th and it’s the first day of the Republican National Convention where Donald J. Trump will be officially nominated as the Republican candidate for President of the United States.

The convention runs Mon-Thur, you can see the calendar of events here:

For those who have never really watched a convention before, don’t expect a lot on day 1. Generally a lot of speech making and bloviating.

The expectation is Trump will announce his running mate on Tuesday, then more speeches on Wednesday, and the state by state nomination process on Thursday.

Of course, this is all up in the air given the assassination attempt. Nobody has seen a convention this close after an attempt on a candidate’s life, so nobody is 100% sure how it’s all going to go!

I’ll be breaking out each day into it’s own megathread, so if you’re looking for something specific on, say, Wednesday, you don’t have to wade through 2 other days worth of comments to find it!

    Will they talk about the children that trump raped? Will his running mate also be a child rapist? Why is he running for president for a country he is trying to destroy?

      Why is he running for president for a country he is trying to destroy?
