Trump's RNC acceptance speech was actually pretty good. Nothing revelatory or genuinely surprising, or anything that might be labelled "dark" by liberal critics, as in 2016. The convention will likely help him. At the very least, he did no harm.
But Trump's speech was "pretty good" in the sense that it was Republican boilerplate. With a few lines rephrased here and there, I could imagine Mitt Romney delivering it.
I don't think we'll see much in the way of "red meat," that is, the kind of sub-racial dog whistling and retweeting of Mussolini aphorisms that defined so much of his previous campaigning. Instead, we'll get the proud but empty optimism of "our best days are ahead."
The Trump movement seems to have strategically bifurcated. Charlie Kirk will doll out the racial crime stats, as he did this morning. Trump will try to restrain himself and stay above it all.
Again, this really isn't that bad. Trump is betting on Americans becoming less anxious about Coronavirus and not blaming him for the burning cities. I don't think any of this will work, but it's really not a terrible strategy.
