from Louis Russo
Day one of the RNC set the tone for an exciting convention. Cruz supporters’ Hail Mary pass failed, due in large part to the stalwart stand of the California delegation. The SF Examiner called us the “back stop” for our role. To be honest, it was Kabuki Theater. Of course, reading the news reports about “chaos,” I wondered if we were in the same room. The facts are, it was never an issue.
Two interesting observations. First, while visiting relatives and friends in PA before driving over here I noticed, in a solidly blue collar area, Trump yard signs everywhere…and not a single Hillary one. There’s a grassroots rumble going on, and I believe it’s based on the economy.
Second, I’m not sure what you’re seeing on TV of the convention floor, but the CA delegation is not only solidly behind Trump, but we’re providing the leadership for the other states. Ironic.
