This morning on MSNBC, host Jonathan Lemire explained how Democrats gained some momentum back after Donald Trump's poor speech at the RNC.
Party conventions are important events during the election season and can give campaigns a big boost. That is certainly what the GOP was hoping for when Donald Trump took the state last night. The former President, however, missed the mark and delivered a rambling speech that could help Democrats recover.
Discussing the speech, Lemire began:
"I will say and we're going to spend so much time this morning talking about it, there are Republicans who expressed it was a missed opportunity for Trump to try to for the first time ever as a political candidate to reach out beyond his base. A number of Democrats say, look, this is a guy we can beat, what a flawed candidate he is, which is why there's so much scrutiny about President Biden's upcoming decisions."
Joe Scarborough then weighed in, "Republicans at the RNC are supremely confident regardless of any misgiving there may have been from Republican consultants last night, the people in that room by all accounts believe that Donald Trump is their man, he's going to win, he's going to restore America's greatness and that he has the hand of God on him."
The host continued by saying, "Not anybody else that were watching but that's what Republicans feel. Oh, extremely confident, the most confident, I think, any Republican Party has ever felt going into an election in late summer."
