Cleveland Republican Convention Sketchbook
These are sketches I did just wandering around the at the Republican convention in Cleveland. The drawings are scenes I actually observed except for two. I recreated the flag burner from internet images. And Kasich – I made him up.

The Speech of His Life
Following the Ted Cruz non endorsement, Trump must give the speech of his life. So they say.
Lock Her Up
Chris Christie used his time on the RNC podium to prosecute Hillary Clinton. After reciting various moments in her public life he asked, “guilty or not guilty.” Then the frenzied crowd responded, “lock her up.” Here’s a funny replay of the speech from The Onion.
Lock Her Up
Jennifer Rubin in the Washington Post called it “the chant of a banana republic.” But Molly Hemingway in The Federalist explains why “calls to lock her up are entirely reasonable.”
Republican Convention Protesters
The Republican National Convention opened with a floor fight when The Never Trump crowd tried to overthrow the presumptive nominee. They claimed to have gathered enough signatures to change the rules requiring delegates bound to Trump to vote for him. But the signatures never saw the light of day. The protesters lost on a voice vote. Chaos ensued.
Republican Protesters
Trump went on to win the nomination last night with 1,725 delegates. He only needed 1,237.
Still, the mission of convention Republicans seems to be to be to sell The Donald – to other Republicans.
I’ve been spending some time at the RNC in Cleveland. My mission is to produce a daily sketchbook for the Akron Beacon Journal and the Tampa Bay Times. I’ll post some of the sketches on Bokbluster along with my regular cartoons.
