The first night at the GOP convention | National Catholic Reporter

The first night at the GOP convention | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The theme makes me wonder what time Trump wants us to go back to.  George Bush, Sr.?  George W. Bush?  Maybe the golden years of Bill Clinton? (oops!).  Even though there was no chance that I would be lured by their rhetoric, I took a pass on watching the convention last night - although while grabbing a bite to eat, I did see the immediate aftermath of the rules fight.  I wonder why the convention leaders were afraid of what would happen if there were a roll call vote on the rules?  This is the second time in a row this has happened.  At some point people will realize that the GOP leadership lacks a certain legitimacy and that may be why no one wants to vote for them.  Of course, there is one word that describes the shoddy due process and hate for racial and religious minorities.  Fascism.
