What Went Down During President Trump’s Closing Speech At The RNC

McConnell goes through a litany of attacks on Democrats, and he even mentions that Democrats want to make “the swamp” — the District of Columbia — the 51st state. I think that’s the first time that issue has come up.

McConnell probably doesn’t need to worry much about losing his election this fall, but nonetheless he begins his speech with a pitch for himself. He says he’s the only leader in Washington who isn’t from New York or California and that he’s a representative of “flyover country.”

Sarah it seems like they’re trying to frame it as somehow more genuine because it is behind closed doors. It’s not a performance, this is who he is when the cameras are off.
