So, I think it was pretty clear who some of the primary audiences were tonight. We heard a lot about Trump's support of women (probably pitched to on-the-fence white women voters); we heard a lot about abortion and school choice (clearly pitched to social and religious conservatives). That being said, my biggest takeaways tonight were the way Pence leaned into a law-and-order message and the fact that the protests and shootings in Kenosha barely got mentioned. It says a lot about how the Trump campaign seems approaching the current unrest in the country in the lead-up to the election.
