On Monday, the Republican National Convention begins. With memories of “Lock her up!” and a schedule of D-list celebrities, right-wing memes and trolls, everyone paying attention knows this will be a raucous event.
President Trump already offered Americans a taste of his campaign last week when he delivered a fusillade about an undocumented immigrant who robbed and critically injured a woman while on a jobs program that Sen. Kamala D. Harris, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, helped launch in California as San Francisco’s top prosecutor.
He also falsely accused Democrats of taking the words “under God” out of the Pledge of Allegiance. Trailing in the polls and fresh off a successful Democratic convention, Republicans might be even more emboldened to trot out outrageous, false attacks against presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Somewhere, Lee Atwater must be smiling.
The 2020 Republican campaign will be built on the foundation that Atwater created.
