So what, you say? I cannot remember the last time I watched even part of a political convention, Republican or Democrat, because it was always the same old boring fluff.

But this time, it's different, my friends. This convention is specifically for we the people, we, the middle class of this country. I don't think that this has ever happened before in American political history where the middle class of this country has been put in the forefront of a party's convention without lying about it or pretending it is for us when it's always about special interests and party donors instead.

Just look at the GOP's party convention platform, it's all about us and for us. not free loading foreign nationals, not whiny feminists, not gay gangsters, not big banks, not multi national corporations ...... us.
 
I hope it's all you expect it to be.
I'd rather watch soccer (that's sarcasm I lettered in soccer back in high school but watching is dull)

Why don't you watch all the rioters outside? They'll be busting heads and beating up Trump supporters and assaulting the police if you want action and lots of blood shed.

I'm going to watch a convention that is designed for all the middle class people that their representative is fighting for. And the convention platform confirms it.

Your opinion, I love to watch soccer.

Bill O'Really thinks it is going to be boring as well.

PR, traditionally the middle class was associated with (strong) unions. Would you like to see an increase in private sector unionization again? Should Trump be pushing for that?

whether there is a formal union or not decrease in the availability of labor will always increase its bargaining position. Just like decrease of the supply of any good means it commands a higher value.

Democrats want to bring in thousands if not millions of illegal aliens bloating the labor pool. I dont care if you have unions in that situation you have no bargaining power.

you asked if Trump wanted to make unions stronger. I responded by saying that labors bargaining power grows the less available labor there is. If you want to concede that Trump is good for labor without adding anything to unions then fine we can move on.

Yes a "shrinking population" is ok. Now why is that considering that the number 1 engine of economic growth is consumer spending? Consider if you had 2 people who spent 100% of their income inside the country while you had 3 people who spent 50% outside 50% inside due to remittances. The two people would generate more consumer spending than the 3. Since they would have a higher wage as compared to the 3 then they would be more likely to move to the housing or other longterm purchase section of the market as opposed to purely subsistence.

If Person A makes $5/hr and spends it all in the U.S. vs. Person B who makes $15/hr here and spends half your example doesn't work. Plus your throw in cost of goods etc.

I would like to see the biggest labor union in the country .. the NEA be dismantled and made impudent once Trump returns education to more local control.

Labor unions are no longer a factor in this country otherwise. Their membership has shrunk to non factor status. Corporations are no longer leaving this country because of labor unions, they are leaving because this country currently has the largest corporate tax rate in the civilized world.

I watched Palins speech but that was it. Did not watch Romney and probably won't watch this. I definitely won't watch Crooked Hillary. I already know every word she utters will be a lie
 
I'm with Damo, I've been watching both since I was a teenager. It's like a sporting event for me. I was 10, but I still remember the night Reagan accepted the Republican nomination.

I was at my brothers house, his wife made dinner and we watched the convention on a small TV while playing cards.
