Day Three Of The Republican Convention Got A Little Wild

Lots of debate on Twitter about whether Cruz’s speech helps or hurts his chances in 2020 — any thoughts?

Some of the largest applause of the evening here came as Eric Trump wrapped by calling his father “his hero” and “the next president of the United States.”

It’s somewhat ironic that Eric Trump made a point of talking about the unimpeachable ethics of his foundation when his father’s charitable giving has been widely criticized. As The Associated Press wrote about challenging Trump’s claims that he had given millions to veterans’ groups: “Phone calls to all 41 of the groups by The Associated Press brought more than two dozen responses Tuesday. About half reported checks from Trump within the past week, typically dated May 24, the day The Washington Post published a story questioning whether he had distributed all of the money.” Again, this does not reflect on Eric Trump’s foundation, but rhetorically, it’s a questionable choice of emphasis.
