What has been striking so far is to look at the RNC and see nothing but white people.

The DNC by contrast was a picture of diversity.

It is clearly the GOP strategy to portray the opposition, no matter who it is, as unpatriotic, un-American, and strange. That's rather ill.

In fact it's rather chilling to see nothing but a bunch of white people all waving signs that say "Country First."

I didn't see a lot of diversity at the DNC. All I saw was a bunch of looters. Well, okay, there were black looters, women looters, hispanic looters, union looters, elected looters, looting lawyers, etc.
