Melania Trump urges voters to re-elect her husband; makes plea for racial understanding

On the second day of their convention, Republicans sought to reshape the narrative around the economy, largely ignoring millions of jobs lost to the coronavirus pandemic, which has cost more than 177,000 Americans their lives.

Yeah, I guess if you ignore the facts it becomes easier to make arguments in your favor which fly in the face of them.

A vote for Trump is a vote for 4 more years of stupid chaos and incompetence.

"nobody talked about the corona or racism!!!"

(Melania speaks at length about the corona and racism)

"Nobody wearing masks!!"

The liberal media has nothing whatsoever to complain about and no legitimate fact checks to hide behind, their allies the DNC are in huge trouble.

Main fact check was the Rand Paul was false in his claim that Biden supported the Iraq War. Fact check said that is false by saying its true. But its kinda misleading they said cause a few years later he said it was a mistake? Nope, he voted for the Iraq War, truth.

It's true that Biden voted for the war in 2002, though he did acknowledge a few years later that his vote was a mistake.

wonderful uplifting event.

Trump's son Eric said Biden was a career politician who knew nothing about running a company or the government

So the former Vice President for eight years and a "career politician" knows nothing about "running the government". What a brainless thing for anyone to say, never mind someone with Donald Trump Jr. or Ivanka's own lack of credentials.

Sling enough doo-doo and hope some of it sticks. C'mon America, you are better than this.

Trump speaking on faith is like Elmo giving advice on how to shoot a gun. I can't see it happening. That image of Trump using the military to clear out people for a photo op with a Bible is just the tip of the iceberg. Make no mistake, if he is elected for four more years, expect Trump to use the military to do more nasty things like that.

Trump's pardon of a convict is pure theater. He did it purely for political reasons and couldn't care less about who he pardoned. He probably only cared that he was Black, to make it appear that he isn't racist. After all, if he wanted to, he could've pardoned this man months ago; why now?

And Mike 'pompous' Pompeo, why did you have to use your job for political gain, when you clearly warned other politicians not to do the same? Are you trying to follow the Trump doctrine of "Do as I say; not as I do"?

Of course, we all have to be afraid because in America, there are enough blind sheep that will follow Trump and yell "Heil Trump!" without any thought whatsoever, with his good buddies Putin and Kim Jong Un cheering him on.

They can tout whatever they like but it doesn't make it true. Trump touted China at the beginning of the pandemic, touted his administration's preparedness and then touted hydroxychloroquine as a remedy. Everything they tout turns out to be lousy.

Trump's son Eric said Biden was a career politician who knew nothing about running a company or the government and told voters: "My father will continue to fight for you."

Yeah, filing for bankruptcy and never holding an elected political office until 2016 surely means you know how to run a company or government. Maybe they meant run a country or government into the ground.

The Republican National Convention has been great for the Trump brand name. How many Trump family members have spoken so far. I wonder if Kim, perhaps Saudi Arabia's MbS or the UAE's MbZ have given Trump tips on keeping it in the family.

Trump's swamp includes members of his family.

Drain Trump's growing swamp.

"nobody talked about the corona or racism!!!"

(Melania speaks at length about the corona and racism)

Hey speaking of fact checking, where did you get that quote from?

The article quotes Melania talking about the Coronavirus in the third and fourth paragraphs.

Hey speaking of fact checking, where did you get that quote from?

Many Trump supporters have something they call 'liberals' living inside their heads. Maybe the voices come from Ramtha?

Trump has lead the USA to a near depression and the deaths of 175,000 people. Or as Trump would call it, winning. Trump is looking past the loss in November and how he can continue to rip off the MAGA rubes like he did with his buddies for the fake build the wall funding. Of course like all of his business efforts they will end up in bankruptcy or in being bailed out by the Russian billionaires again as instructed by Putin.

Melania said trump is 'honest'.

The same guy who cheated on her with pornstars, when she was pregnant, is honest!!!!

We can ignore the rest of her speech.

This Republican gaslightfest vindicates the vision of human folly and hypocrisy that Hans Christian Andersen wanted us to behold when he held up the mirror of his immortal story, "The Emperor's New Clothes". The alternate reality and parallel universe the Republicans want to herd us into with their "who you're gonna believe us, or your lying democratic eyes" gaslighting is the most eloquent testimony to the genius of the great Dane that I have witnessed in my lifetime. To those of us who have followed his CV of grifting and fraud Trump has long been exposed as an empty suit and is beyond redemption, a reality that the November election will reveal to those gullible folk who still refuse to admit the error of their belief in the transparent con man from Queens.

The economy was booming under Trump before the China Virus. It will boom again when the virus is under control. Hard to do much in an international crisis you know.

Some moving and intelligent speakers tonight like Daniel Cameron. Mike Pence was smooth and confident- I pity Sen. Harris having to debate him. All in all a hopeful event with concrete examples of Trump policies helping Americans. Far better than the Democrat's "blame America first" production.

CNN of course. for nearly 2 hours thats all they talked about that no one had talked about the rona (or racism).

Hey speaking of fact checking, where did you get that quote from?

The article quotes Melania talking about the Coronavirus in the third and fourth paragraphs.

After a two-hour program that made almost no mention of the coronavirus pandemic still crippling the country, first lady Melania Trump offered the first words of sympathy of the entire convention for Americans who had lost loved ones to the disease.

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/25/politics/rnc-highlights-day-2/index.html

Ok so now someone HAS spoken of the corona and racism. at length. so can we move on to other things? or does it need to be 50% of the conversation every night?

Has anyone talked about the wall yet?

Trump has lead the USA to a near depression and the deaths of 175,000 people.

Thanks for the Democrats and the unwillingness to reopen the country, I didn’t hear any of the Democrats criticize Cuomo or Deblasio for the nursing home deaths

Or as Trump would call it, winning. Trump is looking past the loss in November

Judging by the polls Minnesota is in play and it would seem that the pools have tightened too much and it’s actually starting to look even better for Trump right now, so if Biden loses what will the Democrats do?

and how he can continue to rip off the MAGA rubes like he did with his buddies for the fake build the wall funding.

The wall is not fake, will you look on YouTube there are dozens and dozens of videos of them all being built, can’t fake building

Of course like all of his business efforts they will end up in bankruptcy or in being bailed out by the Russian billionaires again as instructed by Putin.

Hunter what?

coronavrus is still listed as a "miss" from the CNN coverage. Guess Republicans are just supposed to give 2 hours of speeches every night about the rona.

Lots of whining about things they claim are "inappropriate" but legal and some Hatch Act stuff that seems to bother liberals, but that isnt illegal either. They seem mad some legal immigrants got citizenship and a man who has done wonderful things for ex-convicts got a pardon. Hes still a "bank robber" to liberals.

CNN of course. for nearly 2 hours thats all they talked about that no one had talked about the rona (or racism).

Ah, soo it wasn't a quote, just something you made up then? In order to criticize a lack of fact checking. Very ironic.

After a two-hour program that made almost no mention of the coronavirus pandemic still crippling the country, first lady Melania Trump offered the first words of sympathy of the entire convention for Americans who had lost loved ones to the disease.

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/25/politics/rnc-highlights-day-2/index.html

Seriously? To prove your argument that all CNN is talking about is how nobody mentioned Coronavirus at the RNC you provide to a link to an article on CNN which extensively details how a person (Melania) talked about Coronavirus at the RNC?

The Republican party is insane

this is all they talked about up UNTIL Melania's speech, this was their entire focus until her speech took that away, Now they still whining it wasnt enough, as only she (and Larry Kudlow) even mentioned the rona.

Yet, no comments at all when DNC totally ignored China and violence in the streets because it wasnt a good narrative for them. But they expect the RNC to talk all night about darkness, not light. Cause Joe Biden is already supposedly the Bringer of Light, you know?

After a two-hour program that made almost no mention of the coronavirus pandemic 

Has anyone talked about the ballooning debt yet?

Mike Pence was smooth and confident- I pity Sen. Harris having to debate him

Well my friend, I give you full points for optimism.

Has anyone talked about the ballooning debt yet?

That’ll come up during the debates.

anyway, it was a beautiful, uplifting, positive event looking forward to a bright future.

Liberal media has next to nothing to use as an attack line, which always sends them into a frenzy.

Maybe someone else is writing a book, some new updates on muh Russia, or someone wrote an op-ed in the NY Times or Washington Post about racial issues to push?

I heard some people thought Tiffany Trump made a good speech.

Surely there’s a key job opening in government based on that.

wonderful uplifting event.

lol the GOP fact checkers were in overdrive this year, plenty of mistated truths and just outright lies.

then we have Melania, an illegal working immigrant herself originally and whose parents are apart of the chain migration Trumps so against.

I had far more interesting things to do like , cut my lawn , watching it grow back, cutting my toenails and picking my nose, they were far more productive also

Liberal media has next to nothing to use as an attack line, which always sends them into a frenzy.

like the GOP after the democratic convention

Has anyone talked about the ballooning debt yet?

record 5+trillion 1st term debt the most of any president, not even including the 10 trillion wiped from the markets, oh yeah itll come up for sure

Has anyone talked about Trump’s plan to throw out all illegal immigrants yet?

Mike Pence was smooth and confident- I pity Sen. Harris having to debate him

lol Harris will destroy him, ghost white Pence always floating in Trumps background. LOL

Would you please decide whether you trust polls. You do so many 180s about polls that you look like a figure skater.

I didn’t say I trust the polls, I am just saying these are what the polls are reflecting, they’re starting to turn in trumps favorite slowly and that’s not good for Biden.

The wall Mexico will pay for and children can easily climb?

and thank God for the secondary wall, so even if you can scale the first one in the center of the border patrol will be there before you can get over the second one, so as long as it helps to slow people down which it has considering the height of it in the complexity of it, that’s a very good thing.

Is absolutely irrelevant to this conversation.

no, it’s not it especially since his father is running for the highest office.

Haley didnt speak today. Thought you guys loved her and were claiming Trump would get rid of Pence and make her VP. Wow she must have said something bad for your narratives or something.

and contradictory statements like Haley’s are beautiful, uplifting, and positive?

Has anyone talked about the wall yet?

100 miles of new wall, much of it already falling over, 1200 miles to go

lol Harris will destroy him, ghost white Pence always floating in Trumps background. LOL

Like Tim Caine thought he would? Harris won’t answer the basic questions and just wait until she gets pinned down and gets hit with a question about the defunding the police, so far she has been elusive when it comes to answering a question and when Pence and asks her that she can’t run and that will be the moment I will gleefully want to watch.

Good. It’ll be fun to watch Trump stumble through some sort of asinine excuse as to why he has greatly expanded the debt.

He won’t because he has his record of over 289 accomplishments and I’m sure he’s ready for that question, but Let’s see how he feels when Trump ask him about Biden’s crime bill. Lol

Get a sickly feeling any time I see one of these Trumps talking. To sell your soul for a few shekels,this woman should have run when that escalator started going down. He gave her a headstart.

If you don’t trust the polls, why are you drawing conclusions from them?

i’m just repeating what you’re saying, it just looks better for Trump nothing more.

So Trump’s wall is so ineffective

Sorry, not according to the California border patrol it’s not, when you have a giant wall it’s difficult to steal and the border patrol in the middle and the secondary wall greatly slow some down and gives the border patrol enough time to catch these people.

How is Trump addressing the points of entry where the vast majority of undocumented immigrants enter the country?

he has already done that.

Given Melania’s brief to fight against trash on social media and her plea for racial understanding, did she mention her and Donald’s birtherism and Donald’s retweeting of dodgy material from racists on Twitter?

Surely that’s relevant.

Looking great!

Completely irrelevant to Trump adding trillions to the debt.

No, it’s very relevant, because if you have a Biden presidency and if Biden wins he’s going to triple the deficit and as history is an indicator, Democrats never address any debt that they add to the deficit.

Not to mention Trump literally stumbles through every conversation he has.

Biden even worse.

Pity Kellyanne is leaving the sinking ship, she would have been proud of the alternative facts spouted today.

'Trump is honest'

'the economy is great'

'America has defeated the coronavirus'

'There is racial harmony in America'

.......

If the GOP was Pinocchio they could have built a wall with its nose.

We’re talking about how Trump is going to explain his massive additions to the debt,

And imagine when he contrast that to the massive numbers of deaths that the Democrats would add is they are allowed to win and can implement their progressive Marxists policies.

so anything else is completely irrelevant.

No, Biden is running so it’s all relevant.

The last president to create a budget surplus was Clinton.

Do you know how much gas was at the time? Come on now...lol

Sophisticated response. So, according to your “logic,” Trump’s lack of eloquence is acceptable because you think Biden isn’t eloquent.

“if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black“.....uhhhh....yeah...lol

Plus a guy just got shot in the head trying to loot and riot in Wisconsin, which didnt have to happen and shouldnt have been allowed to happen. Senseless and needless.

I haven’t heard one Democrat speak out on that.
