Republican Convention -- Night Two

 The Republican Convention ran its second night.  Once again, it was a well done event -- unlike the Democrats' event the previous week.  For me, the best moment came when the President gave a pardon to a former prison inmate who founded an organization to help former prisoners succeed in becoming part of society upon their release.  The story of the this man and his good friend -- the police office who arrested him -- was compelling TV.  So was the video from Nicholas Sandman (about which I wrote last night).  There were strong statements from some speakers, but they were hopeful, not nasty.  It was very well done.

The polls have shown no bounce for Biden after the DNC last week.  That is extraordinary, but these are extraordinary conventions.  Still, if the next two nights are anything like the first two nights, I expect a major bounce for Trump in the polls next week.
