#GOPConvention roll call nothing like #DemConvention, where delegates were virtual from their home states, often highlighting scenic views & products, like #calamari.
Democrats won the roll call [and they should keep doing it that way]

Oh my gosh, the Maryland delegate just stumbled & said Maryland was home to two of the greatest "segregationists" & then corrected himself ... & said "abolitionists."
#GOPConvention
"Trumptana."
Um, well, there's a lot to unpack there.

Trump: "You'll soon see #vaccines pouring out."

#FDA #COVID19
Trump now on to crowd size again ...
#GOPConvention #COVID19
Everybody knew Trump was coming.
