GOP Convention: First Night

While everyone works furiously this morning to out-do everyone else in sharing or structuring the perfect plagiarism meme, my takeaway from last night's proceedings in Cleveland is nicely encapsulated in a comment from the always-reliable Republican strategist Steve Schmidt:

 "What we’re seeing tonight is the weaponization of grief.”

Look Out, Cleveland

Just remember that you heard it here first. And you'll be hearing it a lot when the Republican Convention rolls around this Summer.
