From Despair to Hope to Expectations

Many Americans have despaired over the upcoming election. After the wind-up of the Democratic Convention, with the heart-felt speech of Joe Biden, many now have more hope. Some may have even raised their expectations.
The Democrats' Convention was described by some commentators as "building a plane in midair." It was a very adept production, with value and substance. Also, it drew a sharp contrast with the present occupant in the White House.
We assume the Republicans, under the directorship of Donald Trump, have already been working on their Convention. They only have a couple or three days to ready themselves for their presentation. That may not be as easy as some might think? It could be a disaster.
Perhaps they will cut their show into two or three nights? Who will be their speakers? What will be the great accomplishments they wish to talk about that will deserve four more years? How many clowns and conspiracy theorists will be permitted to speak? Will Kanye get to tell us how great Donald Trump is?
My hunch is that it will be very difficult for them to pull off. It will be more of a disaster than a success. But I don't know if that is a "hope" or an "expectation"?

So that doesn't help. 
Amplifying a pandemic so it hits your own supporters is the germ warfare equivalent of a circular firing squad.
