What Went Down On Night 3 Of The RNC

Twitter sentiment toward Joe Biden has been suppressed most of the night, suggesting that if the goal is to hurt Biden, the RNC is having an effect (in the Twitterverse). That’s different from last week, when the DNC didn’t really dent sentiment towards Trump in any sustained way.

Nathaniel, what if your goal isn’t so much about foreign or domestic policy, but just to signal toughness and prioritizing American interests — and foreign policy is a good way to do it?

Yeah Nathaniel, but it might be a bit of a base strategy? Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say that national security issues are very important, as polling from The Economist/YouGov has shown.
