Republican National Convention, Night Three
It started at 8:30.
Tonight's speakers are Mike Pence, Mike Pence's wife, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Governor Kristi Noem, and Senator Marsha Blackburn.
The Republican Party's live feed is here on YouTube as well as on FaceBook.
And CSPAN.
Also, the neoliberal Corporate Culture Warriors at FoxNews are covering it.
And here's a snack: Trump will demand a drug test to make sure Biden isn't doped up on ampthetamines during debate.
He notes the sudden improvement in Biden's performance in the last debate against Sanders, and wonders if there isn't some... pharmaceutical inspiration behind it.
"Nobody thought that he was even going to win," Trump said. "Because his debate performances were so bad. Frankly, his best performance was against Bernie. We're going to call for a drug test, by the way, because his best performance was against Bernie. It wasn't that he was Winston Churchill, because he wasn't, but it was a normal, boring debate. You know, nothing amazing happened. And we are going to call for a drug test, because there's no way -- you can't do that."
Q: "What do you think was going on?"
"I don't know how he could have been so incompetent in his debate performances and then all of a sudden be OK against Bernie," Trump answered. "My point is, if you go back and watch some of those numerous debates, he was so bad. He wasn't even coherent. And against Bernie, he was. And we're calling for a drug test."
Q: "Is this like a prizefight, where beforehand you have a test?"
"Well, it is a prizefight," Trump answered. "It's no different from the gladiators, except we have to use our brain and our mouth. And our body -- to stand. I want all standing; they want to sit down."
