...about the GOP convention and the continued conservative slide into objective pro-Trumpism.
Among the outtakes: Michael Brendan Dougherty of The Week comparing Trump's speech to that of Pat Buchanan at the 1992 GOP convention, in which the ancient nativist invited his party to relate to National Guardsmen fighting off black mobs in the recent L.A. riots (“and as those boys took back the streets of Los Angeles, block by block, my friends, we must take back our cities, and take back our culture, and take back our country”). The punchline: Dougherty was comparing Trump's speech unfavorably to Pitchfork Pat's: “at the heart of Buchanan's speech," said Dougherty, "were communities taking care of each other with self-sacrificial love.” Trump’s speech, on the other hand, “never mentioned God,” complained Dougherty.
Also worthy of mention: Charles Hurt of the Washington Times, who looked upon Trump's children at the convention and declared, "A new Camelot is born." If Trump wins, the Ministry of Propaganda will not want for applicants.
