If you've been following Towleroad's election coverage of the Republican National Convention you've seen some of the incisive recaps of the week by author Susie Bright (if you've missed them, read Night 1, Night 2, Night 3, and Night 4) and if you've followed our primetime coverage on Twitter @TLRD you've read Susie's commentary and seen the GOP convention play out in dozens of brilliant spontaneous sketches by Jon Bailiff.
We've rounded up Bailiff's sketches in a gallery that offers you a look back at the twisted carnival of characters that made up this year's RNC Convention. If Trump is “the ultimate ringmaster,” as speaker Michelle Van Etten noted, here too are the beasts, the stunt acts, the clowns, and the sideshow performers.
Enjoy.
