Real Life Conversations with JT: Convention Edition

The backstory: We're driving to school, listening to NPR. There is a lead-in to an upcoming story in which the announcer intones, "Next, we'll check on the state of the Republican Party as their convention prepares for Senator McCain to accept the Presidential nomination."

JT: I'll tell you the state of the Republican party. Stupid.

Me: Laughter.

JT: Or dumb. The Republicans are often dumb.
