Trump-Vance 2024
I am sure all of you watched at least some of the RNC Convention this past week. For me, it was the best RNC Convention I have ever seen. We are unified, strong, the party of the young and the old, and we are ready to win! I want to reflect on a few of what were for me, defining moments of the event. The selection of J.D. Vance was brilliant. He brings youth, vigor, and focus on the forgotten Americans no one is speaking about- the poor people of middle America. These are the people of the “rust belt” who have been nameless for decades, the blue-collar workers. He said, he “walks in the footsteps of the forgotten middle American worker.” I believe this will help us win states like Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin. Yet Vance is also a Marine veteran, a Yale Law School summa cum laude graduate, attorney, venture capitalist and accomplished speaker! His "rages to riches" story is an American story and it gives J.D. universal appeal.
Average Americans were highlighted in prime time and given a platform. There were an array of speakers that touched our hearts and brought us to tears in many cases. There were the parents of the 13 service members who were killed in Afghanistan, who Biden refused to acknowledge. Each parent speaking of their son or daughter was heart wrenching. Madeline Brame, the New York mother whose son had served bravely in Afghanistan only to come home and be killed by an illegal alien, spoke with passion, anger, and determination as she said she is now a Republican. Next was the mother of
a young man who died from a fentanyl laced pill he mistakenly thought was Percocet. Her impassioned speech was heartbreaking.
A Jewish Harvard College student, Shabbos Kestenbaum who had registered as a Democrat and voted for Bernie Sanders, spoke and said he has now turned to Donald Trump because in his words, “the left has no moral equivalency or virtue, and tonight ‘We fight back’.” He said “I am proud to support President Trump’s policies to expel foreign students who violate our laws, harass our Jewish classmates and desecrate our freedoms. Jewish values are American values”. He called for the return of the American hostages still held in Gaza.
Another person who touched me was Sergeant William Pekrul, the 98-year-old World War II veteran and D-Day survivor. He kissed the ground when he returned to America after defeating the Nazis. He said, “America is our home, worth fighting for, and when someone comes for your home, you have to dig in your heels and never look back”. Then he looked toward President Trump and said, “if you asked me to serve I would re-enlist and storm whatever beach our country would want me to!”
Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, who is a second-generation Iraqi immigrant, said that Trump lifts up those around him! His only crime is that he loves America. She said that the shooting changed him. He did and will continue to take a bullet for each and every one of us! He is the true leader of the nation and the bravest man she knows. President Trump told her that he was so proud of the crowd at the rally who didn’t run away, they stayed and his courage gave them heart. He turned down the biggest opportunity to enflame the nation, one that every other politician would have done, but he chose to bring the country together.
There were so many more amazing moments to recount, but as Dana White of the UFC said, "Donald Trump is the toughest, most resilient human who never gives up and is willing to risk his life because he loves our country. Nothing will stop him because he believes in America and the American Dream!”
Now it is up to us to fight, fight, fight to elect this phenomenon of a man as our 47th President!
