Was hoping I’d read the leftists unhappy today that Trump called Biden an extortionist and pedophile, but I’ll trust his strategy.

If you’re going to fight, then fight to win.

In a very real sense we are his corner men. We need to shine for him.

Since when does “scorched earth” mean “telling truth to Democrats”?

When the God fearing founders of this nation came up with the Republican vs democratic form of governmental representation. They considered that groups we call a political party once elected to a given political office. would not place their groups control and interest above the common good and benefit of the nation once elected to a legislative, executive or judicial office. Rather than work together for the common interest. By taking that oath of office.

In an era when a man’s word was considered sacred They truly believed that upon election. requiring taking the oath of office which swears loyalty to abide and support the constitution would take precedence and avert any fractious direction super ceding any political position taken by the group that the office holder associated with before entering .

It took the democrat convention of 2012 when they attempted to remove any reference to God, “Our Creator,” to clearly demonstrate that belief no longer applies today for when one takes that oath it means nothing.

Biden will be looking like Harry Reid did when he had that unfortunate ‘fall’ on his treadmill!

“...had it been a real heavyweight boxing match...”

OR...as Obama would say...”President Trump punches above his weight”.

OF COURSE, Obama would never say that even though Trump is kicking his skinny little butt.

People are PO’ed at the namby-pamby approach the GOP has taken for decades...a tact that has got them nowhere.

*************

That is a fact! I hope Trump’s fighting spirit changes the GOP but I’m not optimistic. Reagan wrote a new playbook for the GOP but they promptly threw it away.

Better for Trump to come out in a fighting mood than for someone like McCain to promise that the country had nothing to fear from an Obama presidency.

Trump says “elect me”, while McCain said “elect my opponent”.

It was a great speech. It was just on too late. I don’t know why he has Ivanka introduce him.

Trump asked: “If he can’t stand up to them, how is he going to stand up for you.”

That is what every sane American has to ask themselves, whether the President points it out or not. Anecdotally, I know a couple of leftish, soccar mom virtue signalling Karens who have watched the riots and threats of terror waged against suburbs with horror and they came out and said they are voting, however reluctantly, for President Trump.

Thank you, ladies. We'll take whatever votes we can get.

I thought Trump was pretty tame with the delivery of a pretty pointed message.

That was my impression as well. His speaking style was subdued and delivered with less energy as compared to many previous speeches. With President Trump nothing is an accident... It was delivered this way to reach people who might have been turned off by a more combative tone. This speech was not aimed at the true believers, it was aimed squarely at those who are sitting on the fence after years of negative coverage and press.

The entire convention was the best that I have ever seen. It was incredible to see the networks openly hostile to the Republican convention and boosters for the lame production the Democrats produced. They do not even try to pretend that they are impartial anymore.

One of the networks that I channel surfed to (I do not remember which one) muted the sound between speakers and had a written notice displayed that said the music being played was violating the copyrights. This was of course an absolute lie... The Republican Party obtains the rights to play music through performing rights organizations that allow them to play music in their catalogs. Lefty artists often complain, but they typically sold their rights to pick and choose who gets to play their music to the performing rights organizations and typically have no say as to who can use it after that.

The left was also screaming about masks and social distancing where Trump was speaking but didn’t say a word about the rioters outside the WH. I think masks and SD are going by the wayside.

As Harry Truman said, "I never gave anybody hell. I just told the truth and they think it's hell."
