why the garden
Most stories about "Melania's" Rose Garden" makeover have focused on design over purpose. But "It now appears to be largely a television stage or parade ground, devoid of texture, color or interest." https://t.co/VGYVrYsURo

When he inevitably tries to pivot next year, remember that Mitch McConnell is every bit as gleefully hateful as Donald Trump.

Obamacare repeal – gone
Obamacare repeal has disappeared from the Republican National Convention β it didn't come up at all this year, after dominating the 2012 and 2016 conventions.

Kamala
Kamala Harris excoriated Trump in a speech pre-butting the final night of the GOP convention, accusing him and his Republican allies of ignoring "the reality" of an America facing crises of racial injustice, public health and economic despair.https://t.co/ddVPHtwDea

polls
The polls *didn't* look good. The averages showed Hillary trading the lead back & forth w/Trump. People ignored the polls as they thought Trump couldn't win. Now they ignore the polls because they're think he can't lose.

loud minority
Trump is the president of the loud minority, not silent majority. He never hit 50% in any live interview poll against Clinton in 2016 & hasn't against Biden in 2020. He hasn't hit 50% in any live interview poll for his approval rating his entire presidency https://t.co/L3nsjTsEiL
