I was traveling yesterday so I didn’t get to watch any of day two of the Republican National Convention (and I’m not sad about that at all). I did see some of the reaction from some of my favorites from those who are either #NeverTrump or not enthused about Donald Trump becoming the nominee. I wanted to share some of my favorite tweets with you from last night.

There you have it: Roll-call has begun, and @tedcruz's name was not placed into nomination with a speech. Another victory for party leaders.

The chair just declared all 19 delegates from DC for Trump. DC says our votes are actually Rubio 10, Kasich 9. Chair says, "OK, Trump 19"

Tried to vote for the candidates DC Repubs elected. @RNC led our delegation to believe those votes would count. They did not. #RNCinCLE #RNC

The worst part about what is going to happen in November after the GOP went full Trump? The idiots who are behind this won't learn a thing.

The painful lesson Republicans are learning: chaos candidates lead to chaos conventions and chaos campaigns.

This will be a date the Republican Party regrets. Even if he wins….*Especially* if he wins.

We won't abandon our principles. We will restore the conservative movement and rebuild—or, if necessary, replace—the Republican Party.

Imagine you are an 18 year old watching Donald Trump being named the GOP nominee for president. Would you ever take this party seriously?

The party founded by Protestant revivalism & moralism has just after 160 years relinquished that heritage. Will it ever recover it?

I'm much less interested in "unity" for America than principled pluralism. Too many calls for unity imply high level of conformity.

The unintentional comedy of this evening should not distract from how sickening it is.

Oh, Donald Jr. gave a good speech. Oh, Christie should have been VP.
Be quiet. The party of Lincoln and Reagan has nominated Donald Trump.

Everyone major figure who participated in this grotesquerie has disgraced themselves on a level unique in the history of our republic.
