"At one point during this ramble, after making everyone raise one hand and swear to bring their family to the polls (and cheat, if necessary), the president told everyone that if they did not vote, they would go to hell. Sir, look around! We are already there." www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

J. D. Vance stepped onstage on the second night and complained that “we were tired of being called racists for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier and poorer and less safe and less prosperous.”(which is actually a statement full of racist implications). www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

GIFT ARTICLE: “If only the GOP midterm convention succeeds in its aim of electing Donald Trump president, things will get a lot better in this country. Isn’t he already president? Hush!" www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

"After Vance’s speech, the night took an even more surreal turn. Trump returned to the stage and promised that he would not repeat the speech from the previous night. Then he began to repeat the speech from the previous night." www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Always good to read. "Donald Trump has already fixed everything, but also, we need him to fix everything." www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

“Donald Trump has already fixed everything, but also, we need him to fix everything. He is the greatest president in our lifetime, if we can ever manage to elect him.” www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

It isn’t over until the president’s tenor sings.
