The awkwardness of Trump being there is far more obvious than the awkwardness of him not being there

Upside is it prevents him from committing any crimes via Twitter for an hour

The crowd gets whiter and whiter the further back you look, it's like someone was building a video game crowd and copy and pasted the same person over and over after the second row

nah , its just to dark at the front , where the picture is not exposed enough

Very touching speech and moment from Dubya.
Just tuned in before that. I have no like for either man but from a son to father that was very emotive and moving. Horrible seeing anyone in such grief

You guys aren't much better. I will convert everybody here. Every time anyone laughs at the way I pronounce a word I write down 'Gloucestershire' and 'Worcestershire' and ask them to say it.
A lot of us add an h in those words somehow. I blame chesterfields.

Leominster is my favourite, in what world is 'leomin' pronounced 'lem'?

You can tell Hillary is still bitter. Didn't even give Melania a proper greeting. Just a blank look and nodding of head.

Can you really blame her? I'm still bitter about some refereeing decisions from 15 years ago... never mind loosing a popularity contest to Donald Trump...

Hats off to Trump for remaining the most unwelcome presence, even in a room with a corpse.

Not really no.
Watching it live there was a certain pressure for everyone to sit down and get on with the show. Trump could've gone out of his way to go all the way down the line but it wouldn't have really been necessary since this wasn't his event. Dubya did since he was the focus of all the attention today.
