Trevor now, every convention is not just about officially picking the nominee. Its also about telling a story about what the party represents. From the getgo last night, it was clear the democrats were trying to portray themselves as the party of diversity, unity and also patriotism. The show kicked off with people of every race, ethnicity and gender reciting the constitution, then the pledge of allegiance, then singing the national anthem, after which they were ominously trapped inside an american flag. Im assuming the only way to set them free is by electing joe biden president. Its clear why the democrats have to lay the patriotism on so thick because between protesting Police Brutality and kneeling during the anthem, the republicans are tried to make it seem democrats dont love america just because they criticize it. I get why democrats are trying to fight that perception, but if i want t to be honest, you will never beat trump when it comes to symbolic patriotism. Youre seeing an

Democracy, theyre all on the ballot. Who we are as a nation, what we stand for, most importantly who we want to be, thats all on the ballot. Paul lets bring in wall street journal columnist and deputy Editorial Page Editor dan henninger, columnist kim strassel and Editorial Board member kyle peterson. Dan, i think the message of this convention to me boils down to character and covid19. That is the democrats trying to make the case that trump failed in controlling the pandemic and the reason is his flawed character. Did they succeed in delivering that message well enough in your view and strategically, politically was it the right message . Daniel yeah, i think so. What the heck . They could not have possibly have overstated it one speaker after another went after donald trump. I believe joe biden opened his address last night by describe ing a season of darkness which sounds to me Netflix Series rather than political campaign. [laughter] daniel this is a poll tested convention, make n
