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

That’s an excellent point, Galen. And I think you’re right.

I guess I would say that if Trump doesn’t make news for either giving a great speech or saying something highly controversial, isn’t the story from tonight that the president held a nearly 2,000-person event on the front lawn of the White House in the middle of a pandemic? Meaning we are back to a terrible topic for the president — the coronavirus.

I think this is a solid, incumbent president convention speech, Galen. I’m not sure it’s a solid I’m-losing-by-a-healthy-margin speech. That’s sorta why I keep coming backing to this question of whether Trump and Republicans should try to address the pandemic and economic fallout more directly and fully.
