Is he gonna wear that bandage until November?
It is also Allstar week in Major League Baseball, and night 1 of the RNC coincided with the Home Run Derby.
Of people who still watch broadcast or cable TV as their source of nightly entertainment, I’m going to guess most people were watching dudes hit homeruns instead of watching a glorified political ad.
In 2016 there was an actual race to be won, a question to be answered, a reason to watch.
Ever since then, the party has been all in on trump. No serious challenge has been made, and it turns out that doesn’t make for very good TV.
Yes, there was a lot of talk of a delegate revolt to prevent Trump from getting the nomination. Ted Cruz took to the convention floor to tell delegates to “vote their conscious”. Everybody wondered whether Trump, this joke of a candidate who actually won, would have the sense to pivot away from hard right rhetoric during his speech to appeal to the swing voters he would need to win over, given the seemingly insurmountable obstacle the Clinton Machine posed.
This year there is no drama, we all know who Trump is, to the point where we can all just imagine what his speech will be and it will accurate. What’s the point of watching?
I bet most of those are dems wondering what the crazy will be.
I am actually surprised. Seems some people would chime in to see what his ear looked like or what is going on.
