I loved it. It was like floating to heaven. Then I saw on CNN (still glancing at it) that so many people were insulted by it (because their skin color or culture wasn’t mentioned, their asses were not kissed) and others are just knee jerk critical.
I don’t think we can ever bridge this gap.
And they won’t bridge ours! We need to get the vote out and talk to people!
“I don’t think we can ever bridge this gap.”
Dennis Prager just uttered this on his show this morning.
We are so divided that he thought nothing could bring us together. I agree.
Ultimately I think we’re gonna have to split the country in half. Half to the leftists. Half to the ones who just want to be left the hell alone. We all know which half will ultimately come out on top.
It was the best political speech I’ve heard. I absolutely LOVED IT.
The only criticism I had is that I wish he would have mentioned the unborn and the sanctity of human life. I feel that is so important.
One area that may have needed a little more elaboration (not for us), although the speech was already very long, he could have added just a little more of what he would do to improve healthcare by repealing Obamacare (I say that for the Bernie voters and independents who like Obamacare he is reaching out for). That’s kind of me picking at straws, though.
I’ll tell you this. I put CNN on after. They truly are the Clinton News Network. Ana Navarro the Republican whined he didn’t speak about legal immigrants (because there is no problem with legal immigrants, dope). Van Jones was hyperventilating that he was watching a dictator ascend, that Trump is racist towards black people.
I was so dejected that I switched over to Fox. I saw on Twitter that there was a panel on CNN where the people who watched didn’t hate it like their pundits spun it. Fox had a Frank Luntz panel, and Trump’s speech had sold 7 people in the room (maybe 1/3). No one came away liking Hillary.
I then switched back to CNN and saw poll results came in:
Impression:
57% positive
24% negative
Right direction or wrong:
73% right direction
24% wrong direction
18% (I didn’t get if that was undecided or neutral)
Before the convention, 60% said right direction. Trump upped it 13% points.
More or less likely to vote:
56% more likely to vote for him
32% no effect
10% negative
That drove a nail through CNN’s coverage. Now they are attempting to moderate a bit. Wolf seemed a bit bewildered that people saw the speech so favorably. It gave me hope that people aren’t buying the media spin.
