so far I don't think a single speech during this was as effective as Michelle Obama was on the first night of the DNC convention.


I though Nikki Haley would have pulled it off by honesty he speech was a big letdown
she says America is not racist and then describes how racist  the county has been to her in the past lol.
it was a surprisingly silly speech from someone who is seen as the future of the GOP

Pfft, she's the future of the GOP the same way Marco Rubio was in 2012.

Who will be in top contention for the Republican nomination in 2024 if Trump loses?

At this rate, Trump.

Why do you think so? I wouldn't be surprised if one of his children tried for the nomination, though.

I'm sure some member of the Trump family will run, yes, since this convention is making it crystal-clear that the GOP's "ideology" now basically consists in protagonism surrounding them. (On the off-chance that none of them do, there'll be at least one conventionally-telegenic fortysomething Trump orbiter like Hawley or Cotton or DeSantis in the mix instead.) The reason I'm pessimistic enough to think it might be The Donald himself is that he's already working overtime to delegitimize this election in advance; if he loses, he would be able to claim in 2024 that he was "robbed of his second term" and probably get quite a bit of the GOP primary electorate to believe him.

That would likely be fortunate for the Democratic nominee. As this year is demonstrating, nothing makes Democrats set aside our internal disagreements like Donald Trump. Four years will not have been nearly enough time to forget the abuse and gaslighting of the last four.

Are we sure these aren't Trump supporters who mistook him for someone or something they dislike, like the law?



When a party spends years supporting political violence from its very top, it's a little late to be surprised that they end up with political violence. Want to end stuff like this? Get Trump fascists out of office, and keep them out.
