What Went Down On Night 1 Of The RNC

Seems like a perfect emblem for negative partisanship. You don’t even necessarily love your party — though you may love your party’s candidate — but you really don’t like the other party.

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.
