Day Three is over. It was another epic night for the Republican Party. The marque speakers were Donald Trump Jr., Lee Zeldin, Kellyanne Conway, TX. Gov. Greg Abbott, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former acting ICE Dir. Tom Homan, Peter Navarro, and Sen. JD Vance.
As the party showcases a vision of peace, prosperity, and unity, the Democrats are imploding, with Biden diagnosed with COVID (again), along with what appears to be an epic political intervention on behalf of top Democrats to convince Biden to drop out of the race. As the GOP showed they’re the party of a vision and order, the Democrats are imploding.
The Everyday Americans speeches were again some of the most poignant, with families of the service members killed at Abbey Gate in Kabul back in 2021 explaining how this administration forgot about them.
Sen. Vance closed the night, played up his impoverished roots, showcasing his working-class background, and solidifying his position as someone who will carry the MAGA torch once Trump has left the scene.
The overall tone was ‘Americans welcome.’ If you want stability, prosperity, and peace, join the Republican Party.

GREAT SPEECH by Vance.
I'm sure the media will hate it. Stand by for unspooled takes
Good luck to the Democrats who try and will likely fail to spin this to look like a bad night for the RNC...
And with that, Vance signs off. A strong address to end the night.
That was a great line towards the end of a great speech!
Vance promises the forgotten communities he will be a vice president who "never forgets where he came from."
Mhm, most likely just because they're white...
It shows how out of touch the establishment media are about the people's plight. They rather disparage them and label them "privileged," though they're far from it.

Another great story about the poor Americans of that Eastern Kentucky region, people the media still dare to claim they're "privileged."
"THAT is the source of America's greatness!"
Great points about wanting America "to thrive for centuries to come," and how it's okay for us to disagree, even and including fellow Republicans at the RNC. Gives thanks to this Republican Party and the United States of America, as he's talking about being laid to rest some day...
Ties it to the importance of electing Trump once more.

Just as Vance is talking about his and Trump's concern for the American worker, the DNC sends out their statement on "JD Vance Backs Trump’s Anti-Worker Project 2025 Agenda to Put Wall Street Over Main Street."
Does anyone still believe this narrative?!?
She'll cackle her way through it.
The vice presidential debate between Vance and Kamala Harris will be entertaining, an Ivy League-educated lawyer vs. a word salad-spewing professional yapper.
Vance stresses that the Trump-Vance administration will protect American jobs and make sure products are American-made.

Vance actually shakes his head and rolls his eyes at the discouraging sentiments about the economy, and worsening factors by China, open borders, and fentanyl...
Vance also contrasts himself with Biden and Harris, especially since Biden entered politics before he was born!
Or at least LOL at them and love him for it.
Almost every American can relate to at least one of his stories about his upbringing.
Vance reminds how the movement is for grandparents like his Mamaw too, though, especially grandparents who are raising their grandkids they may not have intended to.

The crowd chants "JD's mom!"
As Vance acknowledges that his mother is 10 years sober, Speaker Johnson, sitting beside her, has her stand to be acknowledged by the crowd.
The crowd that chants "JD's mom!"
Vance even brings up having a 10 year sobriety celebration in the White House, which will officially take place in January!
Vance's mom is here. The camera pans to her. Vance says she's sober, and this race is about single mothers too who struggle to do right by their children.

Trump represents the country's "last best hope," Vance says. This moment in history is about working-class people proud of American craftsmanship, Vance pivots. It's about the energy workers wanting to keep American energy independent.
Great crowd interaction, too!
"You guys are a great crowd," Vance points out, as the crowd chants back "yes, we are!"
That Vance is mixing in hopeful sentiments as well as talking about how his town of "the forgotten America," where people struggle due to bad policies of Biden and the Democrats is a good tactic.
Vance's personal anecdote perfectly encapsulates a tale that's ubiquitous in America's heartland, one of children growing up in poverty who, fortunately, have role models like their grandparents to raise them right.
The crowd is certainly reacting to these stories about Mamaw, such as how she warned if he hung out with a local drug dealer again, she'd run the drug dealer over with her car.
"And she said, JD, no one will ever find out about it!" The crowd is chanting "Mamaw!"
Vance reminds his "most important American Dream was being a good husband and a good dad," which is the accomplishment he's most proud of.
He also mentioned how he served in the Marines. That reminder should put Kamala Harris and the Democrats to shame.
Vance gets mixed reactions from the crowd, especially the Michigan delegation, about how he went to THE Ohio State University.
