What Went Down On Night 2 Of The RNC

Last night was a balancing act between optimism and painting a dark picture of an America under Biden. I expect to see a lot more of that balancing act tonight — though perhaps with less flair.

Last night felt more normal than I had expected as the program wore on, with Nikki Haley and Tim Scott closing up the evening. I’m watching for the dynamic I felt that defined the 2016 RNC, with lots of unusual speakers and the chanting of “Lock her up!” (about Hillary Clinton). Much harder to achieve that effect virtually, but I am waiting for that surreal Trumpism feeling.
