Thursday was Donald's big night. His lengthy acceptance speech covered a LOT of issues and he made a LOT of promises, but seemed to rally to troops. "USA" was a popular chant echoing through the Ohio convention hall. I am sure the reviews will be everywhere all day on Friday. I wonder how his speech might have been different if the democrat's convention was first.

OK, from a visual point-of-view, the balloon and ball drop was the best part of the evening. I particularly liked the large white balls covered with the blue and red stars of varying sizes.
Of course one of the best things both conventions do for us as a country is remind us of the rights and freedoms we have as citizens. The focus on being an American and supporting the USA is a theme revisited often by both parties.

We so need these reminders of the things we share and enjoy in common and not how disenfranchised and fragmented we have become.

Will it impact voter turn out???? Remains to be seen!
