(CNN) Night 2 of the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Tuesday was all about the " Land of Opportunity ." And it was an opportunity for the RNC to achieve three main goals: toss red meat to the base, throw shade to critics and give permission to swing voters. Evangelicals at the heart of President Trump's base can also feel good about what they heard Tuesday night. Meanwhile, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron went right to the heart of critics who accuse President Trump of being racist. For all the on-the-fence, swing voters who love to hate President Trump's tone and tenor, Melania Trump's address could be the permission many were looking for to support this president.
