We were all hoping after surviving the assassination attempt that former President Trump would hit it out of the park. That was not to be. His keynote speech accepting the nomination at last night’s Republican convention came in lackluster, long, and lame. There was a noteworthy part at the beginning where he described last Saturday’s events, praised his Secret Service detail, remembered the fallen fireman and wounded, and thanked the Lord. From there on I thought he was going to walk instead of eking out what charitably could be described as a base hit. As he droned on, freely departing from the script, you could hear him stray out of his appointed lane and attack Biden by name, decry once more the 2020 election, and continue circling the barn and its various outhouses reprising the slings and arrows he has suffered over the last eight years. In short, it was the best speech the Democrats could have hoped for. November cannot arrive too soon. Given the months remaining, my fear is that his mouth will again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
