Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

DALLAS (AP) " Republicans opened their highly unusual midterm convention in Dallas on Wednesday afternoon, a "Trump-a-Palooza" that is putting the president at the center of this fall's midterm elections " whether the candidates running like it or not.

Many party members, including those facing tight races, are skipping the two-day affair, citing conflicting obligations or balking at demands that they pony up for access.

Others are hoping an appearance alongside President Donald Trump will put them in the national spotlight as they work to turn out his voters without him on the ballot.

I think prolly few people here care.... but this is brilliant Media Timing Strategery!

Who else but MAGA would decide the best day for their National Convention is the starting evening of NFL Football, featuring the teams in the Superbowl earlier this year?

Trump said no one came because they only needed the Winners there, and their Losers (who have to overcome DJT's dragging them down) have work to do at home.

WAIT!

Hendrix-esque Star Spangled Banner?

wowser!
