As far as I'm concerned, Mitt Romney knocked his RNC speech out of the park - a masterpiece of nationalist demagoguery. Of course, my eyes started rolling once he got into specifics. But it's funny how this billionaire capitalist has somehow become the underdog in this presidential election, as far as the two corporate parties are concerned. Nobody really likes this guy, even his supporters. But tonight, he managed to check all the boxes and appeal to what Americans most admire about their country. I remember watching the 2008 RNC and being repelled by the consistent negativity represented by the likes of Sarah Palin. It's funny how this year, the Republicans have actually been better overall at creating a more positive vision for the country's future - even if it's all lies. Obama and the Democrats have nothing to run on, no popular policies from the last four years - so this time, they're the ones primarily running on fear and division. Take it from someone who checks the Fox Nation website every day: the GOP have been so successful in turning Obama into the supposed Kenyan Muslim socialist fascist Antichrist that the work is already done, and there's no need for further divisiveness at the RNC. But still - stellar performance from the less charismatic corporate empty suit.
In conclusion: vote Jill Stein.
