Mary Trump, The New Abnormal\\u2019s favorite guest, is back for the third night of the Republican National Convention. Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast want to know if it\\u2019s too late for Trump to drop Mike Pence as his running mate and bring in fresh blood. \\u201cPence is a total drip and his only value to Donald is that he sucks up to him,\\u201d says Mary. \\u201cDo we seriously think that Mike Pence could not be convinced to step down?\\u201d

Rick admits it would be incredibly tough to bring in a new vice presidential candidate at this late stage, but can see why Trump would do it. \\u201cIt\'s a difficult enterprise. Although, I think Donald would be tempted don\'t you, Mary? Because it\\u2019s like a reality TV play. It\\u2019ll be dramatic. The ratings will be yuge.\\u201d

Molly was taken back by the sheer scale of dishonesty at the convention tonight. \\u201cThose were C-PAC-level lies, not RNC-level lies,\\u201d she says. Rick suggested Richard Grenell, who was briefly Acting Director of National Intelligence, was making a strong entry into \\u201cthe Trumpian liars Olympics\\u201d with his convention speech. Mary says he was the undisputed champion. \\u201cIt was the worst, most damaging performance of the evening, if not of the entire convention, because of the things he was lying about with a straight face. Everything he said was a lie.\\u201d Rick selects Trump as today\\u2019s \\u2018Fuck that guy\\u2019 for his defunding of FEMA as a hurricane makes landfall in Louisiana and Texas, but Mary says: \\u201cYou know, that money stolen from FEMA that may not have been needed if Bannon hadn\'t stolen it from the GoFundMe\\u2026\\u201d
