In my sixty years of listening to acceptance speeches of the GOP nominees, this is the first where the nominees did not end with “God Bless America”.

I bet Hilliary will even mouth it but Trump didn’t bother...

Trump said “God Bless You.” There’s something wrong with that?

Montanajoe,

“God bless you” isn’t enough?

Him saying “God bless you” is OK by me; he was talking to everyone, those in attendance, those watching on TV and the internet, those reading it in print.

He was talking to 10,000 people, and thousands more on TV and the net, but he brought it to the individual level, saying “God bless you” directly, like he was sitting there across the table and talking one-on-one.

I agree with what m1911a1 said here:

“...I noticed that too, but then it occurred to me that he said “God bless you” speaking to the collective audience.

I thought it was a way of saying that the people listening are America. ...”

Trump didn't bother

He ended as usual, "we will make America great again" and then added "God bless you and goodnight! I love you!"

What an awful man. /Cruzlim
