So I always find it interesting how the media twists themselves into knots attempting to both convey that idea that Republicans are offering something "dark" and "apocalyptic" and complain that they are ignoring things like the racial tension and riots.
Well the reality is that the Democrats did not mention much about burning buildings, CHOP, or other dangerous antics that their buddies in antifa are up to. The fact is that the Republican base does not believe much in the concept that rioting, looting, and committing crimes is either justified or a legitimate means of social behavior. So there is little reason to address it.
Apparently there were quite a few liberals upset with Nikki Haley and her "white privilege" of declaring that the US is not a "racist country". This would make more sense coming from people who didn't assume Haley (who is Indian) is actually white enough to have white privilege.
But at the end of the day, this was a much more well oiled machine than we saw last week. I doubt that this sort of convention in 2020 will have the normal effect, but it can't do any worse than the DNC did last week (where Biden appears to have gotten zero bump and maybe even lost some ground).

SUCCESS IN TELLING MORE LIES AND BULLSHIT IN THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME....IT STIRRED THE IDIOTS OF THE RIGHT.....Just got back from the Post Office which was fairly crowded.....About 15 people plus workers all adhering to the proper distance and masked......All except one older gray haired asshole with a bright RED trump hat on who obviously never got the message to stay apart and wear a mask.....VERY Sad example of the typical trump slurping asshole!!!!!!
What's your infatuation with slurping assholes, Denny?
Amazon live streamed all 4 days of snd. Blacked out rnc yesterday.
Censorship is alive and well.
You believe US is not a "racist country".
I watched the coverage of the convention live.

Almost every person said that if the Democrats win, America as we know it, will disappear.
Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones claimed that Trump “ended — once and for all — the policy of [mass] incarceration of Black people … caused by no other than Joe Biden.” But just as Biden’s 1994 crime bill alone isn’t responsible for mass incarceration, neither did Trump’s 2018 crime legislation end it.
Sen. Tim Scott also made the misleading claim that “revenues to the Treasury increase[d] after we lowered taxes in 2017.” That’s true in raw figures, but according to a Brookings Institution analysis, revenue in fiscal year 2018 was lower than in 2017 in inflation-adjusted dollars.
McDaniel also misleadingly said that Democrats support “[p]olicies that … allow abortion up until the point of birth.” Democrats generally back abortion rights, but Biden isn’t pushing to allow abortions for any reason up until birth. Only 1% of abortions occur after 21 weeks of pregnancy.
Donald Trump Jr. overstated the reach of the travel restrictions imposed by his father, saying he “shut down travel from China.” That ignores the exemptions that allowed tens of thousands of people to travel on direct flights from China to the U.S. in the months after the restrictions were imposed.
A Trump campaign advisory board member made the unfounded claim that if not for Trump’s “China travel ban, millions would have died.” The body of research on travel restrictions shows they can, if they’re very strict, delay the path of the spread of diseases but do little to contain them.
Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, Trump Victory Finance Committee Chair Kimberly Guilfoyle, falsely described Biden as an advocate for “open borders.” Biden says his border security focus would be on “high-tech capacity” and the ports of entry “where all the bad stuff is happening.”
Haley drew a false comparison in saying Biden “is good” for ISIS but Trump “took on ISIS and won.” About half of the territory held by ISIS, or the Islamic State, had been regained under the Obama administration, according to Trump’s own administration.
Missouri resident Patty McCloskey falsely suggested that Trump eliminated a federal regulation that “forced rezoning” in the suburbs. The 2015 Housing and Urban Development fair housing rule that Secretary Ben Carson announced he will terminate said it “does not impose any land use decisions or zoning laws on any local government.”
It was the first time in history that the Republicans have become cultists
All the cable news channels covered the entire campaign
THE HILL: RNC night one scores nearly 6x more views than DNC's first night on C-SPAN livestream
Maybe Democrats can't figure out livestream.
