The Republican Convention Comes to a Close
The Republican National Convention came to a close on Thursday night. It was lucky to happen on Thursday because of the destruction in Texas and Louisiana cause by hurricane Laura. But Trump was advised it can go forward and he would visit the hard hit areas over the weekend.
Here is what I pulled out of the convention:
- Though the speeches were scripted, they were live. This did make them interesting and a little awkward. Kimberly Gilfoyle’s speech comes to mind.
- President Trump appeared each day through group discussions with people who benefited from his policies. This included the hostages he helped free and the COVID first responders.
- It was a very pro-America production. About how great America is versus the Democrats pho-patriotism.
- The Trump policies were on display which was missing from the DNC.
- Law and order.
- The evils of socialism.
- The success of the COVID response.
- The greatness of capitalism.
- School Choice.
- The power small business.
- Things that Trump should done earlier like show how the Democrats first responded to COVID.
- President Trump allowed others to tout the great job he did. This made him look less self-centered.
- The RNC showed the diversity of the Republican Party by bringing plenty of people of color such as Senator Tim Scott, Ja’Ron Smith (Deputy Assistant to the President), Hershal Walker (friend of the President) and Alice Johnson (the woman his prison reform law freed) and Maximo Alvarez (a Cuban exile).
It was well produced and moving. Unlike the DNC, it was very positive and pro-America. Unlike the DNC, there was little talk about how bad Biden is and all about the great things Trump did.
There were some very good speeches.
- Senator Tim Scott (South Carolina) – Slavery to Senator in one lifetime as seen by his father.
- Ambassador Nikki Haley – An American success story. Born to two Indian parents. Faced racism. Succeeded.
- Abby Johnson – anti-abortion activist.
- Nicholas Sandmann
- Melania Trump
- Burgess Owens
- Hershel Walker
- Maximo Alvarez – The evils of communism.
