Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

None of the speakers, not even Pence, have articulated in concrete terms the value proposition of another four years of GOP rule It’d be a helluva plot twist if Trump, the most policy-averse POTUS in history, stepped up and cast a vision Don’t bet on it. https://t.co/OBLIDD4UHu — PolitiTweet.org

The challenge for Trump tonight is the same challenge Republicans have avoided this entire convention. Americans don’t want to hear how well they were doing back in February; they want to hear how well they’ll be doing *next* February. My primer: https://t.co/OBLIDD4UHu — PolitiTweet.org

Wow. I did not catch this in real-time. Pence "sparked outcry in some Christian circles as he closed out his remarks when he combined at least two Bible verses — and replaced references to Jesus with patriotic imagery." https://t.co/b9jOuv3foj — PolitiTweet.org

“The choice in this election Is whether America remains America." It’s safe to say America is going to remain America no matter who wins in November. It’s also safe to say Mike Pence is going to remain Mike Pence. https://t.co/DqYUTualwn https://t.co/1NuX6evaF4 — PolitiTweet.org

Pence mentioned Trump 35 times in 37 minutes but offered not a single concrete policy proposal for a second term. Almost every single argument he made for re-election was rooted in the past tense: “cut … achieved … fought for … secured … has been.” https://t.co/DqYUTualwn — PolitiTweet.org

Pence saying "the choice in this election Is whether America remains America" is pretty much the definition of the "lazy, identity-based populism" I wrote about https://t.co/rycAuzx0lG — PolitiTweet.org

If true -- if LeBron, who's the de facto commissioner, uses his platform to cancel the NBA playoffs for the purpose of engaging in social activism ahead of the election -- this is the biggest sports/culture story since Muhammad Ali refusing to fight in Vietnam. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve covered abortion politics for a long time. “Catholics in Name Only” is something I’ve never heard before. My guess is the one-two punch of Lou Holtz and Sister Byrne will be big on Catholic Facebook (oh yes, it's a thing) before week’s end. https://t.co/DqYUTurWUX — PolitiTweet.org

I believe we have a first at this convention: a featured speaker who did not utter the words "Donald Trump" I’m not sure if that omission by Dan Crenshaw was deliberate, but it sure was conspicuous. https://t.co/DqYUTurWUX — PolitiTweet.org
