The Nevada Republican Party chair proudly proclaimed his state pride by misidentifying its capital city in front of thousands of attendees while casting the state’s votes for the GOP nominee at the convention.

“We’re very proud of our nation,” Michael McDonald said. “From the great shores of Lake Tahoe to the most entertaining capital city, Las Vegas, Nevada, this time, what’s said in Las Vegas will not stay in Las Vegas!”

He then declared the state was casting 16 votes for Donald Trump.

  4. I no longer wonder if those people who gathered in Cleveland this week are not bright enough to know much about the world outside their self-serving lives; they are so dumb they don’t even know their own state’s capitol. They probably think Cleveland is the capitol of Ohio.

    Remember, Sarah Palin talked of Africa as a nation, and probably thought Kenya was just one of Africa’s states.

  5. Only the best and brightest.
