Trump is offering "law and order". Our convention so far is displaying disorder.

Democrats are always more excited and exciting than Republicans. But we need to keep our eyes on the prize. The one party is offering law and order. That's a form of authoritarianism, but the optics aren't good if our convention is out of control. Maybe this is all about catharsis. I think it's immature crap.
