RNC Chairwoman McDaniel: Republican convention will put this uplifting story front and center
Since day one, the president has celebrated this country while all Democrats have done is decry it
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}If there is one thing that Hollywood elites and the privileged politicians in the Democrat Party have both mastered, it is the art of the fictional narrative. What we saw last week at the Democratic National Convention was just that – a four-day flashy spectacle with no real substance and an entirely unrealistic portrayal of real America.
It felt less like a political convention and more like a Hollywood awards show: out-of-touch, boring and filled with actors heaping praise on one another. Cue the cutoff music.
At this week’s Republican National Convention, expect to hear real stories from real Americans, not condescension from liberal elites.

The Democrats may have Hollywood, but it is the Heartland where President Trump has made everyday life better for real hardworking middle-class Americans. From historic tax cuts to unprecedented deregulation to restoring law and order, the president’s policies have made our nation greater, safer and more prosperous.

President Trump will appear nightly to present his optimistic vision for the next four years. Together with Vice President Mike Pence, he will lay out his plans for a second term and clearly outline the next four years of the Trump-Pence agenda. The celebration will culminate in the historic renomination of the president and vice president in Washington, D.C.
The four-day celebration is not only limited to prime time. While we have plenty of surprises in store for TV, we will also be on the ground in target states across the country, holding 7,500 events.
