It was all going so well. The delegates in front of former President Trump were euphoric. The fake White House gleamed behind him. Everyone there, from the show runners to Hulk Hogan to Melania Trump, had nailed their role in a glitzy production aimed at returning Trump to the real Oval Office. Well, almost everyone. âIâd better finish strong,â Trump said, nearly 45 minutes into his acceptance speech. âOtherwise, weâll blow it, and we canât let that happen.â More than forty-six minutes later, when he finally finished a winding speech that grew heavy with grievance, it was clear that the person most likely to stop him from becoming the 47th president, the person most likely to blow it, was Trump himself. He couldnât help it. Until then, the four-day spectacle that unfolded in Milwaukee had been a smooth celebration of the rise and astonishingly good luck of a former president who has consolidated the support of his party. But now, with the balloons popped and the T-R-U-M-P lights turned off, Trump has shown Republicans that he might be unable to seize fully the opportunity that has been laid out in front of him. An earthly celebration As Trump took the stage in Milwaukee, Democrats were having a full-on meltdown over President Biden and were trading polling showing that he could not win. They will spend much of the weekend with their eyes trained on Rehoboth Beach, Del., looking for white smoke as a president isolated by Covid-19 and the screaming doubts of his party drags out a Shakespearean drama over the future of his ambition. In Milwaukee, by contrast, it seemed as if nothing could go wrong. The week was an ode to a former president that a bullet had missed, and a sacrament for a man who many at the convention believed was protected by God. Earthly factors were working in his favor, too: Television screens had showed battleground polls leaning Trumpâs way. And the convention itself was going off without a hitch. âLook at all of those big networks. Look at them. Theyâre all here,â Trump said from the stage last night, before describing the news mediaâs view of the convention with only a light wash of exaggeration. âEvery one of them has said this could be the most organized, best-run and most enthusiastic convention of either party that theyâve ever seen. Every single one,â he said. Yet what had been billed as a unity address, one elevated by the former presidentâs shocking and life-changing brush with death, soon veered back to the same old Trump, replete with the resentment and enmity that some of his allies preferred for him to avoid. He called Representative Nancy Pelosi âcrazy,â seemed to compare migrants to the fictional cannibal Hannibal Lecter and told the crowd that Franklin Graham had asked him to please not use foul language.

Iâm just working so hard to adhere to his note to me,â Trump said during one of the off-script meanderings that left his teleprompter frozen, with the words he was supposed to say waiting hopefully for him to get back on track. Disorder and discipline Trump, who during his first two campaigns and presidency seemed to revel in the chaos of a staff that teemed with rivalry, has swapped disorder for discipline, at least when it comes to the people who work for him. That has not extended to his own behavior â and maybe it does not have to. He transformed his party and rose to the presidency by smashing norms and shocking the public. He has always been more like the polarizing entertainers who took the stage before him on Thursday than the Republicans who occupied the White House before him â and it is not clear whom a sudden bout of discipline is supposed to convince. âHe is among the best known people in the universe, and most of the people in the universe have pretty firm views about him,â said Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster. âHe knows his audience, and his audience is very much blue-collar voters of different races.â âItâs pretty clear,â Ayres added. âHeâs not reaching out to college-educated suburban women.â Still, there were moments this week that seemed designed to do just that. His granddaughter Kai described him from the stage as a family man who always asks about her life. At a luncheon hosted by the National Federation of Republican Women, Representative Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin said the former president had called him just after his daughter had died of cancer, leaving behind three children.

He did not describe the jailed rioters who went to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as hostages, as he sometimes does. Gone was talk of being a dictator for a day. But as he stood onstage on Thursday night, gazing at a party that has thoroughly devoted itself to him, he could not resist giving attendees the red meat that had brought them there. He complained about the 2020 election, accusing Democrats of using the coronavirus pandemic to âcheat.â He said he had been persecuted by the justice system . He painted an apocalyptic vision of a country he said was teetering on the edge of World War III. âLook at these crowds,â he marveled. âLove, itâs about love.â Republicans do not know for sure whom they will be running against in November. They do not know how far their map of competitive states might expand or whether Trump will indulge himself further if his confidence grows. [Ad]

Opposition to abortion was not mentioned from the stage by former President Donald Trump, JD Vance, the vice-presidential nominee, or any of the other high-profile speakers. And even at the conventionâs margins, it was largely left out of the conversation. At a breakfast hosted by the Faith and Freedom Coalition on Thursday morning, the topic took a back seat to issues like religious liberty and to general praise for Trump. But anti-abortion talk did not disappear entirely. âIn South Dakota, because we love babies so much and because we love families so much and because we protect life, our Department of Health did not have a single registered abortion in the entire state,â Gov. Kristi Noem said at the breakfast, boasting about her stateâs near-total abortion ban. For decades, Republicans saw abortion as a way to drive their socially conservative base to the polls. But now, after losing a series of elections in the two years since Roe was overturned, many Republican strategists believe abortion has become, in the words of their presidential nominee, a âtotal loserâ for the party. None of this means Republicans are giving up on ending abortion rights. Across red states, they are pushing forward with efforts to restrict abortion rights and access â but theyâd rather those efforts remain tucked away in statehouses, far from the prime-time stage of their national convention. âLisa Lerer MORE POLITICS NEWS AND ANALYSIS [[Kamala Harris speaks into a microphone, with American flag imagery in the background.] Erin Schaff/The New York Times](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRofX8xP0T3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wNy8xOS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9iaWRlbi1rYW1hbGEtaGFycmlzLWJsYWNrLWhpc3BhbmljLWRlbW9jcmF0cy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU2JmVtYz1lZGl0X2NuXzIwMjQwNzE5Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEyOTI3NCZubD1vbi1wb2xpdGljcyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTcyNjU3JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpmlTH6mma-9km5Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) [Black and Hispanic Democrats Hold Firm for Biden, Eyeing Harrisâs Future The lawmakers, donors and voters who have been the most outspoken about keeping President Biden in the race are driven by a concern that ditching him could also mean bypassing his vice president.
