Trump’s “Midterm Convention” Was A Colossal Disaster For Republicans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Republican Party’s “midterm convention” in Dallas last week was supposed to be about building momentum ahead of the upcoming elections and changing the narrative to stave off a widely expected blue wave.
