Yahoo: PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Some people brag about their home states.
But Rhode Island’s delegation to the Republican National Convention is taking some heat back home for using its spotlight to trash the state’s reputation on national TV.
State GOP Chairman Brandon Bell delivered Rhode Island’s votes in the state-by-state roll call that led to Donald Trump’s nomination Tuesday night.
It’s a time when delegates traditionally use their few minutes with the microphone to share quirky trivia or tout amenities or local products. Many of Rhode Island’s 19 delegates wore sailor hats. One appeared to be smoking a cigar.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, is as awesome as Lobster Knife Fight!!!1111!!!
He wasn’t degrading the State – he was degrading the incompetent Democrats running it into the ground. But the libtards will try and bury this guy for telling the truth rather than fixing anything.
Rhode Island is what it is.
If you don’t wish to be known as the WORST State for Business maybe you should change your laws, regulations and tax structure…… OR just go full blown progressive socialist (you are already half way there)..
Rhode Island Rams — figured they’d be associated with “sheep”.
The dems biggest problem with the RI convention speech was that it is the truth, can’t have any of that truth stuff popping up.
If you want to see actual degrading watch any minute of next weeks DNC circus show.
What can you say about a state that calls itself an island, but isn’t one? That place is just wrong from the git-go.

Loser provides dinner tonight!

Frankly, I’ve never trusted Rhode Island because they call themselves an island when they’re clearly not an island.
Here’s the reason it’s called an island. Kinda lame, but it’s some Italian explorer’s fault.

The same Italian they named a bridge in NY after, I guess.
