What Went Down On Night 1 Of The RNC

In fairness, Seth, the first night of the DNC was also mostly about defining Democrats as “not Trump.” They filled out their message the other three nights.

We’ve heard a lot of criticism of the GOP lately, that they don’t have a platform or an agenda. This evening hasn’t really refuted that, but the speakers have made it very clear what they are against: the Democratic nominees and their socialism/anarchism/political correctness.

I think that’s right, Perry. I noted the sometimes-tense relationship between the Democratic Party and the Black Lives Matter movement in last week’s live blog.
