The Republican Convention got off to a rousing start. Unlike the Democrat Convention, which was filled with negativity and made up attacks on Trump since they had nothing substantial to offer, the Republican Convention was very positive and upbeat and more motivational and inspirational consisting of an A-list of politicians and people from all walks of life who benefited from Trump’s policies. There was an occasional attack on Joe Biden mostly stating his failures to really produce anything worthwhile in his 47 years in Congress, but it wasn’t a constant barrage like the Dems did with Trump.

There was Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was killed in the 2018 Parkland, Florida, school shooting.

He said how Trump invited him to the white house with other parents and they got involved in a school safety program and at the press conference, the media didn’t even ask about them. He said at that time Trump turned to him and said, “See how these people are?”
Kimberly Guifoyle, Trump adviser and former Fox News panel member gave a rousing speech saying she was a proud Latina and Mother and told how Trump supports Latinos and other minorities and brought down the unemployment numbers in all minorities.
