Convention was ass. Christie just promo'ed his 2016 run. The "we built it" theme not only was based on a distorted quote, but didn't resonate with anyone. Ryan's speech was full of well-publicized factual inaccuracies. There was an ugly racist incident. Rubio was Eastwood was catastrophe. Romney was Romney. I bet Romney gets no bump in the polls.
There was nothing distorted about the "you didn't build that" quote. In fact, when you read the full quote it sounds even worse.
I am not sure why you left wingers keep saying it was taken out of context.
