This is why Trump is still losing - The Washington Post

President Trump spent last week trying his best to convert the power of his office into a shift in presidential polling. The Republican Party presented a parade of people meant to attest to Trump’s effectiveness as president and to intone about the dangers of electing former vice president Joe Biden. It was one of the few remaining times that Trump will be able to command the nation’s attention before voters begin casting ballots in the presidential election. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/09/02/this-is-why-trump-is-still-losing/

No, Trump didn’t create ‘the greatest economy in history’ — or even in the last few years – Raw Story

The most repeated phrase of the Republican National Convention was that President Donald Trump created the greatest economy the world has ever seen. The evidence, however, shows that it’s not the greatest in world’s history, or American history. It may not be even better than the Obama economy, even before the pandemic devastated our economy.

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace blames Trump for American disasters: ‘He alone broke it’ – Raw Story

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace brought up the theme of President Donald Trump’s 2016 Republican Convention speech, which was “I alone can fix it.” This year, Trump intends to paint himself as the only one attempting to save the country. Her Thursday panel noted that while Vice President Mike Pence was speaking, California was burning, Texas and Louisiana were bracing for a destructive hurricane, the US was reaching 180,000 dead from the coronavirus, unarmed people of color are still being shot by police, and a radicalized right-wing Trump supporter was in prison for assassinating two protesters. But according to Pence, everything is going great in the United States. https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/msnbcs-nicolle-wallace-blames-trump-for-american-disasters-he-alone-broke-it/

The Most Craven Lie on Night 3 of the RNC Came from Kayleigh McEnany – Mother Jones

Wednesday night, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany went on prime time TV during the third night of the Republican National Convention and told what might be one of the biggest lies of the evening.

Abby Johnson, anti-abortion RNC speaker, tries to make abortions sound disgusting - The Washington Post

No, abortion doesn’t “have a smell.” And apparently this ludicrous clarification needs to be made, because Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention, a well-known antiabortion activist named Abby Johnson got behind a lectern and told a national audience that, “For me, abortion is real. I know what it sounds like; I know what abortion smells like. Did you know that abortion even had a smell?”
