    Melanie Trump has the emotion of a sock puppet that had been used as a c*m rag.

    Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is a rising star. I had not heard him speak. Very charismatic, poised and smart. Remember the name, because he is impressive and on his way:

    Revenge of the Normies

    Trump sent many reporters and commentators into a fury when he pardoned a former convict and presided over a naturalization ceremony in the middle of the convention. But the whole thing worked, both as political theater and as campaign strategy. Trump's interactions with normal Americans humanize him and allow him to display rarely seen compassion and to utilize his self-deprecating sense of humor. And the men and women highlighted in these two segments are living rebukes to the critical narratives surrounding Trump on race and immigration.

    Trump's exchanges with each of the new Americans were charming and amusing. After he finished reading aloud the resume of a new U.S. citizen from Lebanon who is a multilingual psychologist, Trump quipped, "In other words, she can figure me out." Everyone in the room laughed.

    Trump welcomed the new citizens to "the great American family." They fit right into this vast, bumptious, diverse, energetic, incomprehensible place. So far, the RNC has served as a reminder that for all of the ravages of the coronavirus, the economic fallout, protests that turn into riots, political correctness, and rising crime, most Americans remain proud of their country. They are eager to work to better their condition. And they are uninterested in the social and cultural agendas of the progressive left.

    At the RNC's midpoint, Democrats have reason to worry. The convention has gone more smoothly and winningly than conventional wisdom anticipated. President Trump has stayed on message. The race, already close in the battlegrounds, is sure to tighten. The revenge of the normies may be at hand.

    Was she talking about her husband when she complained about people being mean on social media?

    If not how was that in any way remarkable?

    I figured out how Trump gets his followers to believe his lies. It's not the Kool-Aid. I think he uses this trick I saw last night. Subliminal messaging works.

    Obama wasted 6 years thinking he could charm Mitch McConel and the Repubs with his nice manners. Only in his last term did he wake up and start using executive order a lot. Citing only guns is not exactly a fair way to argue.
    In general out f'd up system allows the Federal government to buck pass to the states and viceversa.
