Pollster Frank Luntz immediately noticed the change, tweeting what he’s never seen at a GOP convention: “A stage filled with hardworking taxpayers, African-Americans, working women, union members, and delegates dancing in the aisles. Speeches bashing Corporate America and the status quo.”
He added, “We witnessed the realignment of American politics, Trump-style.”
Last night, voters saw a Republican Party that they (and I) have never seen before.

And the liberal media has no idea what to do. What they’re doing now comes off as unseemly and condescending, channeling the untamable urge to lecture and criticize. It’s why many Americans, specifically young men, are fleeing the Democratic Party. No one likes being nagged endlessly, and liberal America is fraught with whiny, woke cretins who think it’s evil to watch football and eat hamburgers. They’re tired of being called racist and having everyday mundane activities be attacked as racist by this chardonnay-guzzling brigade.

It's also pathetically transparent. When everyday American speakers, who are non-politicians, deliver short and sweet speeches about how life under Joe Biden has become intolerable, they interject by fact-checking the remarks. The big theme on night two for some was the rise of crime under Biden, both committed by fellow citizens and illegal aliens alike—ABC News tried to sell the line that crime is down. No, reporting on crime is down among municipalities nationwide because the figures were going to wreck the Left’s soft-on-crime approach to public safety.

A most disturbing and distasteful event occurred when MSNBC’s Chris Hayes seemed to mock the everyday American speeches, which included the family of Rachel Morin, who was raped and murdered by an illegal alien last August in Maryland. Host Joy Reid even chuckled because Hayes didn’t think these speeches would resonate because no one at MSNBC speaks to real people. They hang out with the same snobby, over-educated left-wingers who have never understood the value of a real day’s work in their lives. That alone is why Donald Trump is on track to beat Joe Biden.

On PBS, the talk about illegal alien crime was, you guessed it, full-blown racism on display.
Amna Nawaz: “We have seen though...Republican rhetoric veer into outright racism, echoing some white supremacist notions as well. Do you think that will be avoided here tonight?”

MSNBC’s Ari Melber was stunned and unable to comprehend why Donald Trump had a bandage on his ear. Perhaps it’s because it was shot off during the failed July 13 assassination attempt against him. Melber seemed incapable of understanding that politics is theater. It’s entertainment. It’s a show, and it’s always been that way, at least in the era of modern campaigning. He could only cope by saying this wasn’t a normal convention—whatever that meant.
MSNBC's Ari Melber on Trump's bandaged ear: "a prop...a spectacle for this candidate who we know is...obsessed with assorted spectacles...to mine and use Donald Trump's injury, and whether [they] do that in a way that overextends their credibility will be decided by the voters." pic.twitter.com/PEMXKBwOQK

@AriMelber - His head was nearly blown off by a millimeter, instead the bullet took a chunk of his ear off, and you're calling this a prop?

Just the kind of unhinged perspective as Joy Reid, Nicolle Wallace and the petulant morning show hosts on your network.
You're a joke. https://t.co/8TYncy20BE
