Do we have one of these yet? I know we’ve got at least 2 VP threads and a Trump thread. This one is intended to be for the general events of the convention.
That says a LOT about the current administration.Solid first night in my opinion.
The president of the Teamsters addressing the RNC, amazing.
I don't think they have anyone there. There is no traditional moderate part of the party at the national level as we have known. There are people at the State and local levels, but they'd probably just leave the top box of the ballot unmarked.One other thing. The way he RNC is going thus far, and with Trump surviving the assassination attempt, and with all the **** that's started in the world, I think this will force Democrats to shift towards the center for the rest of the campaign.
Can they do it?
Can pigs fly?
<-- Union Pipefitter, I work with a bunch of the trades.it's tacit permission for rank and file union members to vote for Trump.
As a local teamster 135 member, I do not follow the union heads. I know a lot of local laborers and operators that don’t follow the union heads for voting. It was good to see him up there and open to both sides not just the left.View attachment 366315
I never thought I'd ever see a union ho president speak at the RNC. And I'm under no delusions that the Union bosses will suddenly switch to Republicans. But this is a pretty ****ing big deal for Trump and Republicans. Having a major union boss speak at the RNC, even with him disqualifying his presence as a sign of allegiance with Republicans, it's tacit permission for rank and file union members to vote for Trump.
