Way too long, but he was probably trying to show that he could be up and active outside of 10am to 4pm.

Too bad he didn’t show he could be coherent while he was up:

This is part of Trump’s speech last night. There should be a media feeding frenzy over this, but I haven’t seen anything.

He was sweating profusely. He must have been on something that made him sweat and boring at the same time.

Someone did just take a shot at Trump less than a week ago while he was speaking to a rally of his supporters. I imagine Trump was experiencing some level of PTSD. And if it goes untreated or Trump does not have the mental and emotional awareness for treatment to be effective, it's only going to get worse for Trump every time he speaks in front of a crowd of his supporters.

When he took the stage four years ago at the 2020 Republican national convention, Donald Trumpmade sure to rail against Democrats over their support for abortion rights.

“Democrat politicians refuse to protect innocent life, and then they lecture us about morality and saving America’s soul?” Trump boomed. “Tonight, we proudly declare that all children, born and unborn, have a god-given right to life.”

But this year, during his Thursday night speech at the Republican national convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Trump did not proudly declare anything about the “unborn”.

In fact, he was conspicuously silent on the topic of abortion – as were almost all of the other speakers at the 2024 convention. Even JD Vance, Trump’s outspoken new running mate and an Ohio senator with a history supporting a national abortion ban, did not bring it up in his Wednesday speech.


The RNC’s vanishing act on abortion is a reflection of Republicans’ recent uncertainty about how, exactly, to talk about the issue. For decades, opposing the procedure was a pillar of the party.

Republicans spent years attacking Roe v Wade and pushing state-level abortion restrictions, a crusade that culminated in the overturning of Roe in 2022. Trump played a pivotal role in ending the national right to abortion: he nominated three of the justices that voted for it.

But in the years since, opposition to abortion seems to have become ballot box poison. Outrage over Roe’s downfall is credited with slowing a much-promised “red wave” in the 2022 midterms.

Voters in states like Ohio, Vance’s home state, and Michigan, a key battleground in the 2024 elections, have passed ballot measures to enshrine abortion rights in their states’ constitutions.

The GOP has taken notice. Many Republicans, including Vance, have started to publicly downplay their anti-abortion stances. In Arizona, a major swing state, a handful of Republicans even defected and voted in favor of repealing a near-total abortion ban.

Trump, who likes to intermittently take credit for overturning Roe, has at various points suggested he would support a national abortion ban, said that states should decide and implied they should not go too far.

All this has alarmed some anti-abortion activists, who have clocked the Republican party’s retreat. A wing of the powerful anti-abortion group Students for Life of America, Students for Life Action, sent out a press release ahead of Trump’s Thursday speech that highlighted Republicans’ silence on the issue.

After the anti-abortion movement spent decades amassing votes and dollars for GOP candidates, the group indicated that its members were no longer certain of their welcome at the convention.……

Conspicuously absent from Republican convention was any mention of abortion

The abortion issue isn’t going away. It’s gonna keep women from voting Trump.

You should read this SFL. Your party is trying to realign itself to capture single black, and hispanic men between the ages of 18-34. They know they've lost some portion of the female vote, esp single female.

Trump Is Planning for a Landslide Win

And his campaign is all but praying Joe Biden doesn’t drop out.

The insecurity in the Republican Party is so strong when the message is that speaking up for the rights or women or homosexuals is some how a slight against straight men. Talk about weakness.

 

[MT15]

Numbers aren’t great. And it was on a lot of channels. Most of that is Fox, so no new voters.

The premise is a lie. Try again.

First rally since the convention. Quite the crowd and it's early.

 

[SaintForLife]

Haha. I hadn't seen this before. Sign of the times

If having a large crowd of people follow you all over the country mattered, then the Grateful Dead should have run for president.
