I saw some of it and "unhinged" is the kindest word I can come up with to describe this troubling display. Just alarming that after even a fraction of what Trump has said and done that anyone let alone a main political party could nominate him. I get him being elected but mother of God its just beyond belief at this stage, what's more scary is he coukd actually be reelected albeit using every dirty trick in the book.

We've had a housing crisis since 2013 and still there's not been any improvements. FG etc. just look like they care about "economy" and piling as many jobs from mulitnationals as possible to increase the tax take. Who cares if it means more pressure on the already tight housing market, sure you've a job don't you? Refugees shipped into hotels. Tourists flown into houses. Some Irish on the streets, some paying rent towards 3k a room, others getting free houses in D4 when they shouldn't.

I agree FG are arrogant and self involved, but like Trump they blame 'the left' for their own policy failings and like Trump they use stupid and childish attack to cover for flawed social policy. FG are more akin to Trump today IMO. The Republican and FG philosophy is 'go out and help yourself and if you're struggling, go **** yourself'.

Speakers all seemed to have some adversarial event in their lives (breast cancer, legs amputated, etc) but they came back from it because 'America is the greatest country in the world', etc, etc. They were really tapping into that notion of the American comeback story which I believe the population lap up. But yeah, policy was completely ignored, the convention was just a couple of hours of peoples anecdotes. Anyone watching it wouldnt have a clue what the Trump administration plans for the next four years, they never even outlined it.
