Agendas matter... (ADDENDUMS with convention coverage!)

Well, the $#@%show that was the Democratic National Convention has passed, and now we're on to the Republican convention. Not to dwell on the former's ridiculousness, 'cause there was plenty of it (ok, just a sampling)...
...yet in the midst of why you must hate Donald Trump, alongside all the freebies Joe Biden promised, there was one thing blatantly missing, which Watters alluded to: a specific agenda. Enter Levin to shine light on that darkness...
Meanwhile, in stark contrast, and preceding the Republican National Convention, the Trump campaign announced the President's 2nd term agenda! An outstanding one that every American should be able to get behind...

ADDENDUM: Well worth the listen...



...with positive results. There is hope for our country!


ADDENDUM II: Pence slayed it, among many other great speakers from Day 3...


...and thank you, Mr. Vice President, for elaborating on the Democrats' agenda, and lack of mentioning it to the American People last week. (starting @28:05)
"My fellow Americans, we're passing through a time of testing, but soon we will come to a time for choosing. Joe Biden has referred to himself as a transition candidate. And many were asking, 'transition to what?' But last week, Democrats didn't talk very much about their agenda. And if I were them, I wouldn't either!"

And once again, more positive results and hope...



ADDENDUM III: And on the final night of the Republican National Convention, many more outstanding speakers...


...wrapping up with Donald J. Trump's formal acceptance of another four-year run. And within that phenomenal speech, the President deserves praise for also mentioning what Biden did not: the Democratic Agenda! (starting @40:15)
"At the Democrat convention, you barely heard a word about their agenda. But that's not because they don't have one. It's because their agenda is the most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee. Joe Biden may claim he is an ally of the light, but when it comes to his agenda, Biden wants to keep us completely in the dark!"

Agendas absolutely matter. And when one promotes the best of American values and virtues, versus another that supports its destruction from within, it makes all the difference in the world.
