Calm but successful Republican convention opening, from their point of view

Political junkie that I am, I watched.  The most impressive person by far was Ted Cruz from Texas who marched around the stage and was the only person who did not rely on or use as a crutch a teleprompter.  A young women in a congressional race in New Mexico was also incredibly impressive right at the start of the progamming, so she probably was just speaking her own mind.  She was terrific, a Latino Republican,  who knows what that means.

Otherwise, Ann Romney played her role well and as expected, Chris Christie's butt overwhelmed the stage, lots of large people, and hat sellers probably had a good night.  Diabetes rates were probably up at local hospitals.   Overall, the Repubs, from a PR point of view had a good night.
