First night of Republican convention marked by ambivalence, fear

First night of Republican convention marked by ambivalence, fear 

Tim Cardinal Dolan was not there to do a sermon, just offer a prayer. Get over it. Thank you, MSW, for listing the remarks of the forgettable deplorables. No other comment is necessary. The big speakers wanted to tag the Democrats for calling America racist. Some radicals do say that. The rest simply call Trump a racist. It is hard to argue that point with a straight face. 

Arguing for Opportunity Zones (the new urban renewal) is also a howler. EZs are all about moving minority populations out and opening coffee houses and upscale brew pubs.  The word for today is gentrification. Zoning keeps minorities out of the burbs. Old news (like most Trump racism). The biggest hoot is blaming Biden for social unrest that happened under Trump. The only thing that will continue the unrest is four more years of Trump.
