Not luxurious, no class. Frankly, it's sad and pathetic. And sad, really. One big, fat mistake, we all make mistakes but this one was a beauty.

Or just the parts I've seen have been when there haven't been many people there as I'm sporadically viewing, but last night, one guy (forget who, his voice was hoarse though) could not get the crowd going, and he was dying, trying to keep going whatever feeble USA-chants started every now and then.

Really, barely a cheer when they announced Trump had won the nomination. No energy because there is no unity.

This convention is all sourpuss, all bitterness. It's good they banned guns or the delegates would be suicidal by now.
