I went to bed (had to get up really early), so missed it. I'll catch it on replay.

But don't most, if not all, presidential nominees hit a solid home run on the final night?

Experienced writers have had months to create that perfect, rousing speech, nearly eliminating any threat of an off-script gaffe. The convention itself is three buildup days of "rah-rah" foreplay before the guest of honor appears for the climax, with every network broadcasting it, sending the partisan audience into a frenzy.

In other words, you'd almost have to try harder to end a weeklong pep rally with a thud.

Not all. I like that Trump is addressing many of the issues that are on people's minds. I also like how he strayed from Republican orthodoxy .i.e. acceptance of LGBTQ community. The problem is that there is no meat on the bones. Like most sales pitches he never tells you how until after you buy the product.

Wouldn't expect to see any of that during a nomination speech anyway though.

I would not argue with that. I just did not think Trump had the ability to deliver in prime time. I was wrong.

Agree, but that has been the entire campaign.

He's used that line before... HRC was talking aobut standing with "her" during the campaign, and Trump responded almost immediately with "I'm standing with the American people"....

It was one of the first moments where HRC really started to slip in polls... (that and the WV incident)

No argument from me here. That was a hot pile of garbage. Wasted time that should have been used to focus on our economy.

Well...they should be if they are on the Commie News Network.

So stunned were they that Republicans don't hate gays. Liberals are a bunch of close-minded, limited, bigoted, hate filled thinkers.

Have you actually followed Trump, or have you followed what the media says about Trump? Evidently the latter.

I watched his announcement speech live, a number of his stump speeches in full culminating in his bizarre Pence announcement. This was completely different (read: he used a prompter).

It seemed like a different person up there. An adult! Not as impressive as his kids, but pretty good for the Donald.

They just don't get how transparent their hysterical attacks on Trump are. They must think Americans are really, really stupid. Or they are really, really stupid.

Wish he had no hands. He sure gets annoying with them. At lest get some new gestures.

She desperately needs to dump that slogan. It typifies her campaign. Its about her. Now its a subtle hint to women that they should support a woman, but again, its about her. Trump won the nomination because he got that it needed to be about the people who are hurting in the new economy. The rest of the Republicans came to that realization too late. Clinton is still oblivious. A person who has been under secret service protection for a quarter century should never be put in the White House.

The speech was too long. And it left you asking, "Where's the beef?"
His basic approach is that he is a great businessman and knows how to hire great people to get things done. So all we have is bones. We don't know if it is an elephant, a donkey or an aardvark.

But the tone and content was very much what he needed to do. There was nothing offensive or scary except to flakes on the left. It was very inclusive and dealt with our very real problems that the Democrats deny.

Learned from my wife that they are trained that way. She's had some training at work at public speaking. I found a lot of the speakers hand gestures very artificial. Donald's are natural, but kind of excessive.

That's a good thing! It means Trump is on the right track.

The Two words that Terrified Him were Working and Laws !
The last thing some really want to do is get a Job and Work and to some, enforcing the Law puts an end to the career lifestyle some made fairly lucrative in the last several years getting around those laws.

I have a ton of things where I'm not a fan of Trump. But giving credit where credit is due... things I agree with him on are his view of the Iraq War, NATO, and that he's not making social conservative issues a key platform plank of his campaign (although when he started meddling in this, I got concerned, but he's largely stayed away from that sort of stuff).
