....businessmen know what they can deliver,politicians take money hoping they can deliver
I thought it was good, but I kept seeing the panning of the audience that was full of delegates who were mostly not Trump supporters.
I think that ruined it.
No other Republican would have included illegal immigration, the victims and the WALL into this speech - don’t underestimate this issue, this will resonate yuge.
Compelling, powerful, timely, a superb speech delivered with a real sense of urgency. The Art of the speech.
This is why the devils in the Press are attacking it so vigorously.
It was ‘dark’ but for all of the logical reasons. Hillary is running for a full throated Obama third term. Next week’s dems convention will be a defense of the 8 years of this administration and will basically break into two categories:
1. It’s sunshine, lollipops and rainbows in this country and we must continue on
2. Those racists, xenophobes want to stop our progress and we must not let that happen
Trump just reminded the american people that they know full well that a lot isn’t well with this country because of this administration policies, we live in dangerous times and to continue on with Hillary is madness. Let’s make America great again
It was sincere; I think there’s no question Trump believes in the greatness of this country and wants to see it back again. I was very pleased to hear him speak of Antonin Scalia and his intention to nominate justices like him. I pray he keeps that promise. The court, and of course immigration, are why he has my vote. I don’t see him as a conservative or someone who will advance conservative social issues, but frankly we don’t have the luxury of quibbling over that right now.
His speech surely sent all the mentally deformed Snowflakes into their safe space to cower from reality.
Ambitious. Thinks big as he should. He’s going to get a lot done.
That pause after mentioning protecting LGBTQWERTY to take in the cheers that got - I think that shocked him, and likely more than a few people who read the speech advised removing it (though not his kids, I’m sure.)
Ivanka’s speech, I think, was incredible. Trump’s speech was pretty much what I expected. A summation of his campaign. Will it move the NeverTrumpers? Doubtful, there was little there to excite them, and likely quite a bit to give them the ‘I TOLD YOU SO’ crow that they crave.
It’s pretty amazing that he’s got three proxies he can send just about anywhere who can deliver a good speech and excite the crowds. He raised his children very well.
Do I think that this speech will reach undecideds? Probably, I guarantee far better than Hillary’s droning speech where she tries really hard not to say that it will be Bill Clinton’s unconstitutional third term. I think, honestly, he just set up the big tent and opened the doors, and it will take more effort to get people to cast their vote as admission.
But using that speech as a basis, I could easily see him pulling some purple states into the battle column, and make the whole country a much much paler shade of blue.
If I could stomach it, I’d watch the DNC so they can call everyone racists. It is going to be a PC fest.
One of the criticisms has been Trump hasn’t been specific enough. Well, that all changed tonight. The detail in this speech was everywhere. Total HOMERUN!
I think Trump has now won over enough Indies and Democrats to be able to win this. Tonight’s speech really helped with that.
If he loses in November, my guess is it will be because our oh so pure NeverTrumpers stayed home and allowed Queen Hillary to assume her throne.
I would have thought after 80 minutes he could have said something about God, the Constitution and Abortion....
I was hoping for a lyin Ted comment but it was good nonetheless.
I like how he went after the enemedia itself for not telling the American people the truth. They will respond by not telling the American people the truth.
He talked about the terrible levels of corruption in government and pointed out how deep Hillary is in that corruption. Claims he is the Law and Order President and I really hope his DOJ goes after lots of government corruption, no matter if it falls on either side of the political parties.
Stopping illegal immigration and being very careful with the muslim refugees coming in to this country.
Too much to list but overall a great speech. I think this will resonate with many Patriotic Americans who want their country back.

Some say too long? I say I didn’t want it to end!
Apparently it went over quite well, even CNN found the majority liked it and more likely to vote Trump. Only 10% less likely.
Activity oriented. Not traditionally “conservative” but as long as it’s REFORM minded - I give it a B+
THAT WAS AN AWESOME SPEECH! THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD!
