The 4-day sales conference, uh, political convention, has become meaningless
Nobody but a very small number of already fervent followers bothers to watch it, and absolutely nothing newsworthy comes out of it. As one journalist aptly described it, the 4-day national convention is a political animal that no longer has a habitat in America, and Boston was unfortunate enough to suffer though being the zoo this time. New York gets their turn in a few weeks, with the colossal waste of time and money, and the huge, totally pointless disruption for local residents and daily commuters.
