Dallas (US): Republicans at their midterm convention know that history is not on their side this election season, but they are counting on President Donald Trump and his two-day extravaganza in Dallas to rally voters to protect their House and Senate majorities.
They spent the first night denouncing Democrats as extremists before Trump capped Wednesday with a speech saying the choice this election is "very, very simple" and making the outlandish promise of USD 5,000 to each American adult, if his party wins. Such a proposal could cost more than USD 1 trillion at a time when the nation faces a record USD 40 trillion debt.
