While the Republicans are anticipating President Donald Trump's keynote speech in Dallas on Wednesday night, several Democrats have also made the trip to North Texas to blast the GOP for what they call failed leadership.

What they're saying: While some 20,000 Republican supporters fill the American Airlines Center, the Democrats are not standing quietly on the sideline.

They held a news conference at Dallas City Hall on Wednesday morning to calling out the GOP and calling this week's "Trumpapalooza" smoke and mirrors.
