I watched both the political conventions. (I watched the RNC, unlike Stephen Colbert, and watch this if you haven’t seen his screed already.) I always watch both, so it couldn’t be different this year.
But you know what was different? This year the Republicans actually made me lean their way, just for a moment.
Most of it was comical, what with the pro-Trump nun and all the Trump DNA, but one part got me. When the wife of the ex-Saint Louis policeman talked about how he was killed by those they kept calling “’Peaceful’ Protestors” (air quotes implied), I got a little sniffly.
The link above centers on how the late policeman would have been appalled that his death was used as ammunition at the RNC. He daughters have made it clear, but that doesn’t take away from the emotional appeal. If it got to me, how would it affect someone who was undecided?

I watched some of both, all of neither. All that Trump DNA irritates me badly. Trump’s children had never registered to vote before he started his first campaign for President. Now they’re running the government?
Arlene – come to think of it, I only Really got to see the parts of the RNC that MSNBC let me see, given that they would break away for fact checks. I would go over to Fox to see if there was anything I was missing.
