Fast Politics with Molly Jong-Fast

NOTE

The Illusion of a New Tone

The speaker discusses the false promise of a new tone at the Republican National Convention, highlighting the lack of facts presented and the failure to pivot towards a more appealing demographic. The strategy of appealing to angry, divorced men is criticized instead of broadening the party's base by choosing speakers like Nikki Haley. The consistency in Trump's behavior is emphasized, likening him to the scorpion that never changes its nature. The media's credulity towards Trump's supposed change in tone is questioned, with a portrayal of Trump's speeches as unnecessarily long and tedious.
