It's only day one.
The Republican National Convention got off to a lively start Monday when some of the delegates started shouting for a roll call vote on nomination rules.

The effort, which eventually failed, was a last-ditch effort by mostly anti–Donald Trump delegates to voice their displeasure of the presumptive nominee.

Some of the other protesting delegates, like former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli, said they were not anti-Trump, but felt ignored by the Republican National Committee.
Things got heated AF.
Ken Cuccinelli just threw his credentials down on the convention floor!
There was shouting...
Competing chants on #RNC floor. "Roll call vote" vs "USA"
And walk-outs.
Colorado and Iowa delegates have walked off the floor #RNCinCLE
Even the gavel couldn't take the chaos.

People loved the drama.

Lots of popcorn was being eaten.
Watching the RNC be like. #RNCinCLE
As well as lots of preparing for the drama to come.
I'll be taking advantage of the #RNCinCLE recess to get ready for the rest of this clown show...
Other people wondered how RNC Chairman Reince Priebus felt about the whole thing.
Live look-in at @reince as he watched the debacle that is #RNCinCLE
Or, of course, Hillary Clinton.
As delegates revolt at #RNCinCLE, I picture @HillaryClinton sitting in an office somewhere like

If you're just showing up to catch the #RNCinCLE right now...
