Everyone knows what the 'Vincerò Vincerò at the end of 'Nessun Dorma' means, right?
I win! I win!
No wonder Trump loves it, besides the kickass nature of the song itself.
Night all, and thank YOU for being here with us and DAVID.
Well, I think that just about wraps up our coverage tonight, too! Thanks for being with us these two nights of the first-ever midterm convention. We’ll see you tomorrow on the blog!
I will accept bragging rights now and ask for a raise tomorrow.

And the not quite as fat as he was man is going to sing!
Kill da wabbit! Kill da wabbit!

It really was. Hit it out of the park.
Hard to follow. Let's see how 47 does. Tough act to follow.
I think Trump is up to it, though.
His best speech yet.

"America belongs to those who love it, not those who hate it." Strong ending.

“The party of hatred.” “If you send your crazies, we’re gonna send you packing.” Two great lines.

Another NY TImes update. They got this wrong:
The heckler incident fired up Vance and the crowd inside the arena, which started chanting, “28! 28!” referring to the next presidential election. Vance clearly enjoyed the moment but told the crowd to focus on winning the midterm elections before looking that far into the future.
They were chanting 48, as in the 48th president.
