There was pretty consistent messaging tonight, even if it was a bit of a lackluster lineup. But the evening closed with a solid speech from the vice president and a surprise appearance from Trump, who is currently greeting military veterans. Still, there was some cognitive dissonance with a lack of recognition of the social, economic, and health strife in the country. This isn't 2016, but in some ways tonight felt like it could have been part of that year's convention (if, you know, it was digital for some reason).
