The essence of Squirrel-Hair's acceptance speech in a nutshell

There was nothing groundbreaking about it. It was vintage Squirrel-Hair and that's all.

The Bots responded as they were supposed to, and S-H once again, as he does every damn time he opens his materialistic, shallow, self-absorbed mouth, demonstrated an utter lack of grounding in the principles and documents that have made this nation a unique experiment in human history:

Even the crowd seemed confused about how to respond emotionally – or perhaps they were simply under the effect of some sort of bizarre mass hypnosis. At one point, Trump finished an extremely lengthy rant that had no pause by yelling that “THE TSA IS AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER!!” Hereupon, Trump paused for a breath after what was clearly not intended to be an applause line, but like poorly trained seals who were afraid of being physically whipped by the Trump enforcers in the green hats, they took this pause as their cue to begin chanting “USA! USA! USA” Regardless of whether you agree with that statement or not, the fact that one of our Federal agencies is a “total disaster” is not exactly a reason to begin chanting “USA! USA! USA!” but then, if you weren’t live, you probably couldn’t see the green hats frantically hectoring the crowd to cheer louder at every opportunity.

What was depressing to me – but by no means surprising – is that there was almost no attempt to articulate or defend the ideas of limited government or liberty under the constitution. As Aaron noted, Trump barely bothered to even mention the words (and didn’t mention “liberty” at all). Moreover, almost all of the concepts Trump mentioned throughout his speech of necessity involved expanding both the scope and intrusion of the Federal government.

The government will keep immigrants away. The government will restore law and order. The government will punish companies that move jobs overseas. And so on and so on.

And that introduction speech by his daughter Ivanka - what's up with assuring us that Dad will see to it that everyone has access to "affordable child care"? Is this some kind of attempt to pre-empt Hillionaire?

No, there were no dramatic surprises. If you went in for this s--- before last night, you just got a hefty dose of what has been thrilling you for the last year.

If, on the other hand, you're a conservative  . . .
