Liz Peek: Trump makes riveting case for reelection, shows America what it is in for if Biden wins

In fairness, former first lady Michelle and her husband President Barack Obama also spoke, which gave the gathering a pulse.Trump made a compelling case for his reelection, emphasizing his promise to restore order to our cities, keep America safe, stand up for our cops, and rebuild our economy.Countering Democrats’ charge that President Trump lacks compassion, is a racist and misogynist, were several women and African-American speakers who testified to the president’s character.Perhaps most compelling were the words of revered former football star Hershel Walker, who said he was insulted by those who insinuated that he could have been friends for 37 years with someone who is a racist.For sure, however, nothing presented a more vivid contrast than the candidates themselves.Biden appeared only once at his party’s convention last week, delivering a speech via TelePrompter on the final night – a presentation that attracted only 350,000 more viewers than watched on the previous evening. President Trump, by comparison, was the Energizer Bunny of his party’s event, popping up several times throughout the four days.He hosted inspiring chats with hostages whom he had helped return to the U.S., delivered a surprise pardon for a convicted bank robber who has since become an advocate for criminal justice and showcased a naturalization ceremony – all in prime time.During the final night of the GOP convention, President Trump formally accepted his nomination on the South Lawn of the White House, before about 1,000 people, adding to the excitement of the occasion.Democrats will squawk that the gathering was dangerous but all had doubtless been tested beforehand; many wore masks.Trump made a compelling case for his reelection, emphasizing his promise to restore order to our cities, keep America safe, stand up for our cops, and rebuild our economy.He forcefully condemned Biden's far-left platform, warning that his promised $4 trillion tax hike would stifle our nation’s growth and that his Socialist agenda would crimp America’s freedoms.Throughout the convention, however, it was the stories of ordinary people surviving extraordinary circumstances that stole the show.People like Alice Johnson, who was given a second chance when Trump commuted her life sentence on nonviolent drug charges in 2018.Or the parents of Kayla Mueller, an American humanitarian worker killed by ISIS, who spoke so movingly about the president’s efforts on their behalf.Or, Ann Dorn, widow of African-American St. Louis Police Capt.
