CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 25, 2020
AND NOW IT’S THE REPUBLICANS’ TURN. THEIR VIRTUAL CONVENTION OPENED LAST NIGHT AND UNLIKE THE DEMOCRATS CONVENTION – AND THERE IS SO MUCH THAT IS UNLIKE THE DEMOCRAT CONVENTION — MANY OF THE GOP EVENTS WILL BE LIVE. THAT CONVEYS A CERTAIN SPONTANEITY THAT SHOULD WORK TO THEIR ADVANTAGE, ASSUMING EVERYONE IS WELL REHEARSED.
REPUBLICANS HAVE A POSITIVE RECORD THEY CAN – AND SHOULD – FEATURE FRONT AND CENTER. BEFORE THE VIRUS HIT IN MARCH SO MANY GOOD THINGS WERE HAPPENING IN THE COUNTRY. EVEN NOW, JOBS ARE COMING BACK AND BUSINESSES THAT DIDN’T GO BANKRUPT BECAUSE OF THE UNNECESSARY SHUTDOWN, ARE STARTING UP AGAIN.
THE STOCK MARKET CONTINUES TO PERFORM WELL, REACHING NEW HIGHS. WATCH FOR REPUBLICANS TO STRESS THAT THE LAWLESSNESS WE ARE SEEING IN SO MANY CITIES IS THE FAULT OF LIBERALS WHO ARE TOO WEAK TO CONTROL IT. LAW AND ORDER HAS PLAYED WELL FOR REPUBLICANS IN THE PAST.
AND, OF COURSE, THE MEDIA CAN BE EXPECTED TO PORTRAY ANYTHING GOOD COMING OUT OF THE CONVENTION AS BAD. PAY ATTENTION. A CRITICAL ELECTION IS A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO MONTHS AWAY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
