Trump: We Should Have a Convention Before the Midterm Elections

This convention wouldn't have any kind of official function. Congressional candidates are selected by voting in the states, not by convention delegates.

The point would be to hype up the base and irregular voters and to define the party's agenda, versus the Democrat-Media Cult's agenda. So it's really just a rally with production values.

Trump has brought aboard new voters but they have a distressing tendency to only vote when Trump's on the ballot. This is a good idea as far as communicating to these Trump-Only voters that his presidency depends utterly on them voting in a Congress he can do business with.

And of course he's the party's best salesman.

I approve!

The Democrat-Media Cult is probably doing something similar but we will get more out of this than they will. The Democrat-Media Cult cannot be honest about its agenda because it turns 70% of the country off. So they just have to babble vague buzzwords without saying what they intend to do with power, if they have it.

President Donald Trump on Thursday floated hosting a pre-midterm Republican National Convention, touting his administration's success and saying his party is "poised to win big in the midterms."

"We won every aspect of the Presidential Election and, based on the great success we are having, are poised to WIN BIG IN THE MIDTERMS," Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social. "The results are incredible, a record pace!!! In that light, I am thinking of recommending a National Convention to the Republican Party, just prior to the Midterms. It has never been done before. STAY TUNED!!!"

...

Trump's message comes just a day after Axios reported that senior Democratic officials were considering a similar move, as they gear up for an uphill battle to reclaim control of Congress and disrupt Trump's Republican trifecta.

A pre-midterm mini-convention -- which fell out of fashion among Democrats in the mid-1980s -- would give prospective leaders from both parties the opportunity to audition for potential 2028 candidacies, as Democrats remains without a clear voice after November's election loss and Republicans inch toward a post-Trump future.

A pre-midterm gathering could also give Democrats a chance to catch up on fundraising and boost public visibility.

LOL. They don't benefit from public visibility. Very much the opposite.

As for fundraising -- yes, the Democrat-Media Cult is far behind the GOP. But I don't think a convention will change that.

At the top level, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is struggling to build a war chest in the face of Republican dominance, according to Politico, with the DNC raising around $15 million by the end of June as compared to the Republican National Committee (RNC) with $80 million.

Politico found that major Democratic donors have held back from donating in the aftermath of Trump's dominant win, and have failed to generate enthusiasm among small-dollar donors, leading to the lowest funding level for the DNC at any point in the last five years.

To be honest it sounds like the Democrat-Media Cult wants to pre-nominate Gavin Newsom, before the 2028 cycle even begins. They are very much a top-down party of unthinking ants and mindless vermin, and they need a Queen to lead them.

The other thing they'll probably want to celebrate is... Taylor Swift's engagement.

If you're not sure the left is mentally ill and horribly immature, watch their reactions when they hear that a woman they don't know and never met is engaged to a man they don't know and never met.

This is CBS "News."

This very manly college professor dismisses class because he saw that Taylor Swift got engaged. He says "I can't focus, the class can't focus," and says that we all need time to "process" this.
