Rabble-rouser Coulter tells California delegation to get with it
Coulter, an attorney-writer-television personality who cheerfully admits she likes to “stir up the pot,” was at the breakfast meeting to rev up the crowd and, not incidentally, push her upcoming book, “In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!”
While Democrats — and not a few Republicans — view Coulter as a self-promoter who has made a career out of being outrageous, she knows what buttons to push for a conservative audience like the California delegation.
“She gives red meat to a meat-eating crowd,” said Harmeet Dhillon, a San Francisco attorney who’s both a delegate and vice chair of the state GOP.
Never one for political correctness, Coulter talked about the need for an “America for Americans,” and said the overwhelming support of white voters will be the key to Trump’s victory in November.
When Trump’s helicopter landed Wednesday on Cleveland’s lakefront, it was no accident huge speakers were blasting out the theme from the movie “Air Force One.”
While critics complain that the GOP presidential nominee hasn’t fleshed out his policy plans, no one can say he hasn’t spent time on the look and feel of his convention appearances.
Take Monday night, for example, when he showed up at the Quicken Loans Arena to introduce his wife, Melania, who was making the keynote speech.
[...] he’s a billionaire businessman who had no qualms about moving to reality TV (“You’re fired!”) or “wrestling” World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Vince McMahon on national TV (cue the fog machine).
On Tuesday, after the delegates made him the GOP nominee, the arena lights darkened and Trump appeared on an enormous video screen above the hall, a gigantic head-and-shoulders image peering down like the great and powerful Oz.
When the helicopter — “Trump” emblazoned on the side — landed Wednesday, Trump strode out alone to greet his family and running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, then walked to the podium to address the cheering crowd.
Besides opening the way for plenty of chuckles from Democrats, the confusion and mixed messages that came as the campaign struggled to agree on a single answer to the plagiarism question is leading some Republicans to wonder if the Trump campaign is ready to deal with the 24/7 scrutiny of a fall presidential run.
