Dana White cuts a promo for Trump at the RNC. What a time to be alive.

I never get used to the asinine idiocy of unsound political speech; so many outright lies. I wish I could bar all these people from politics.

He knows his audience. Remember when Rudy asked if they were crazy?

Haha... Yikkies.

As long as religion isn't playing a gigantic part in the decision of the country, it's not a big thing for me. Stuff like god bless America is fine, as long arguments don't divulge into lets do this because god said so, then so be it.

And hence when there's pro-choice people, I don't agree with them, but arguments for no transgender bathrooms or even gay marriage in particular there's more merit (I'm against transgender bathrooms and support gay marriage btw). Anyway, I think all in all, America has a pretty good system, as harsh as some people like to be about it.

I'm glad that conservative values can thrive in these countries, where as I view Liberal values as too idealistic and short term too frequently.

Nobody is arguing that Trump is a legend and the best president of the USA.

At the end of the day, Trump wouldn't be the one making the big choices, lets be real, his advisers would. Also, you're choosing between Trump and Hillary, not Paul Ryan and Trump.

Lastly, George W. Bush hasn't been attacked for a year straight, I have no doubt he would drop very quickly if he was. People are quick to forget.

Except that the GOP used to be much more secular in the 80s and earlier.

Dana White was solid, and I think he brings a huge base of people with him. In general, people who watch UFC love Dana white, he's controversial, but I think he's certainly the biggest driver at making the UFC go from a small little thing to one of the largest sport franchises in the world.

Whether local zoning allows it varies, but there's a lot of stuff you can do in your backyard; and people have home offices for lots of things. So making your business out of your backyard sounds perfectly feasible.

It is kind of weird that Dana White has been the only speaker to mention Trump. Nobody else.

This has been more of a Hillary bashing contest than a Trump promotion.
