Yeah, I don't know how to explain it, but this feels a lot like the Obama/Romney race in 2012 than it does 2016 or 2020. Just feels like the GOP campaign is running on fumes and can't figure out how to course correct. Hopefully we get some surprises in the Senate, too.

This is kind of interesting, too. Doesn't take a genius to guess that Trump is probably pocketing most of his campaign donations and hoping the free media coverage will carry him.

That's one of the few smart things he's done, the massive amount of free airtime he gets on all of the major networks is far more valuable than any ad-buy would be

It's a great stunt to potentially appeal to a broader audience...but man...politics in the US is weird. In any other context than politics in the US this would just be a super weird stunt. Drake dropping beats at a Stephen Harper or PierrePo convention?

Can we just go back to dedicated squares debating how their policy is slightly better for a specific subset of the electorate than their competitors (preferably more than 1)?.

I'm not saying these speaker choices are good. But please save the false equivalencies.

Twitter is now a right wing echo chamber, and it's going to have far reaching effects way beyond what we saw in 2020.

Canadian conventions are just like this. But not as cool

If rape is bad, why are you bringing out a rapist to speak? It's not a false equivalency. It's just gross.
