KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: RNC Night 2—FLOTUS Is Classier and More Attractive Than Any Democrat Alive. “You have to understand how remarkable this RNC is from the perspective of an activist who has been watching the GOP get in its own way for decades.

In Manhattan, Minneapolis, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, and other cities, they see the quality of life crashing and burning outside their windows.”
