What Went Down On Night 1 Of The RNC

I think Scott’s speech is a reminder of what a platform a convention can be, Chris! A lot of people are probably thinking pretty highly of Scott right now, or are at least intrigued.

Maybe I’ve been too entrenched on the sports side, but I watch a speech like that and wonder how the Republicans haven’t had Scott more out front in the past.

Scott rounds out the night with appeals to white voters by appealing to Black voters –something several speakers did earlier in the night. The phrase “Our families went from cotton to Congress …” really seems to reinforce the overall theme of the American dream, and I can see that one sticking beyond the convention.
