(Bloomberg Opinion) -- The 2020 Republican National Convention was anything but ordinary.

The speeches themselves were light on policy and heavy on vitriol for Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden and the “radical left.” The convention was also light on masks and social distancing, but we digress.After Eight Convention Nights, a Few Lessons — Jonathan Bernstein
