Another day of the GOP convention, another night of terror

By Alexandra Petri July 20 at 12:34 AM

CLEVELAND — What HAPPENED Tuesday night?

The second night of the GOP convention was like “1984,” periodically interrupted by infomercials for Trump wines. The evening started with an uncomfortable explanation of why the rules obliged Alaska to vote for Donald Trump and went downhill from there.

Supposedly the theme of the second night in Cleveland was “Make America Work Again.” Those were the words displayed behind the stage. That was what was announced. But judging by the speeches, the actual theme was “Make America Salem Again.” Or, “Don’t Worry! Hillary Clinton literally worships Lucifer, but on the bright side, Donald Trump’s winery makes excellent wine and his children love him!”

The night’s prime-time speakers included Paul Ryan, Chris Christie, Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Ben Carson. Donald Trump’s large, disembodied head also appeared onscreen via video feed to thank the party for the nomination, because he feels most comfortable being presented as the Great and Powerful Oz.

No as the WIZARD of OZ.. OZ is a place (still is, as far as I know.)

Alexandra needs to do her homework.
