Little harder to spy on the opposing campaign than it was in 2016 – but we finally got the list of speakers for the RNC Convention.
Day 1 – Tanya Weinreis, Andrew Pollack (Daughter killed at Stoneman Douglas HS in Florida), Donald Trump Jr., Sean Parnell (Alaska Gov), The McCloskeys (wild gun people defending home in St. Louis?), Kim Klacik (black woman running for Congress in Baltimore with one of the most watched ads in America now, not sure she’s really black as she is in the Republican Party), Charlie Kirk (smart whippersnapper), Natalie Harp (who will likely thank Trump for signing Right to Try into law), Kimberly Guilfoyle (would love to give her a long hug), Amy Johnson Ford (a teacher?), Vernon Jones (Georgia black Democrat who says he’s leaving the plantation to vote for Trump), Ronna McDaniel (RINO Romney’s niece), Nikki Haley (first SC female Gov and former Ambassador to UN), Jim Jordan (“Here are the Facts” R-Ohio), Matt Gaetz (“The most valuable real estate in the world lies between the President’s ears” R-Florida), Steve Scalise (“We’re going to try and solve problems for everyday people”, shot by a liberal activist, R-Louisiana), and Tim Scott (token black, tea-party R-South Carolina).
I can’t always see the future, but the group looks picked to say positive things about the US and Trump. Not sure that’s gonna play well.
I think our negative, negative, negativity about all things and “Orange Man Bad” message was much better. I’m sure the media will say the same. Of course they will. I have already seen the talking points for the media that were distributed by my team for use after the RNC speeches each day.
“Republicans lie, turn their back on science, misguided, bible hugging, gun loving bunch of crazies.”
Wait – I started this note trying to figure out this Tanya Weinreis filly. Apparently she, as a woman, owns a coffee place named Mountain Mud in Montana. I guess I have a female running mate as a VP, so maybe women can own businesses these days. Anyway, she was the first Montana recipient of the PPP loans and happy we (Trump?) helped her get things up and going and kept her business open and probably has a positive message about opening up the country safely.
Opening? Why? Day 1 I have said I will institute a National Mask Mandate. And a National Shut Down if a scientist I choose, in his infinite wisdom, says it might help. Regardless of if it is legal. Regardless if you live in a community where there are no cases. Masks — should be worn for any reason when you leave your house or go outside. Even IF you CAN social distance. Even while working out. Even if not feasibly enforceable.
On a subway – mask, at work – mask, driving in your car – mask, weeding in your own lawn, by yourself – mask, hiking alone on a trail in a forest – mask, surfing – mask, at a beach or park outside with your own family while 20 feet from anyone else – mask. Makes great sense to me. I would actually love if people wore masks in their own homes.
Seems like, as President, I could start telling people what they can do in their homes as well. It’s the most powerful job in the world. And, it should be me there making the decisions for the good of all. I will make awesome decisions, I have a 100 year record to back that up. And a great team led by some super progressives to help me. I will make the best decisions, for all of America.
On second thought, maybe voters shouldn’t look at my record or any of my past decisions and actions – they should just trust me. That would be better.
Come on, man.
