Independent Voters Give Trump the Truth: His Midterm Convention Made No Impact The Republican Party's midterm convention in Dallas has come and gone, leaving behind controversy and a $5,000 promise that reeks of desperation.
The event aimed to energize the party's base and boost support for key candidates, but it appears to have had little effect on independent voters – the demographic Trump needs to sway if he wants to maintain his grip on power.
Trump's claim that the convention was a "solidly sold out winner" is undermined by empty seats and muted excitement among Texas Republicans.
