Callers to Friday’s episode of Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM expressed their appreciation for the candor of Donald Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland Thursday night.
Eddie in Florida, a Latino branch manager for an industrial homes company, said that Trump “talked to me like a human being as though I was sitting across a table from him.”
He added that he talks to his blue-collar co-workers the same way that Trump spoke to the nation.

Refreshing to hear some straight talk for a change instead of the usual slick PC pandering and palaver. What a breath of fresh air Trump is!
I think the country is sick and tired of professional political blowhards who talk forever and do nothing.
I had dinner with three ladies Friday night and two of them said they were convinced to vote Trump by that speech.
Trump took it to Them!
All I could say the next day,
“I’m tired of WINNING!”
LAW AND ORDER.
I’ve been saying for some time that what Trump says in his campaign speeches is what I yell at the TV during the evening news.
He was certainly speaking for me!
I thought it was a terrific speech, although I was dead tired, having to go to work 4 hours later.
i was stunned when it was widely derided as “dark”.
I enjoyed the speech very much. My only request would have been for Mr. Trump to say that he would hold trading partners accountable for cheating and discourage American companies for tax schemes like corporate inversion by lowering the corporate tax rates. But the speech was magnificent overall in the contrast to the lawlessness that we would see in a Cankles admin.
All my life I have heard people say that they are tired of being by governed by politicians and lawyers. They are tired of the pandering. They are tired of them being politically correct, tired of them always trying to cover both sides of the fence. Trump is none of those things. Trump is blunt. I think that we need blunt.
He has said what he was going to do during the primary campaigns. Also, look up his position papers. They are online and easily found.
How one solves the problem of cheating trade partners is to change how business is done and deny them the ability to cheat by not accepting their products. He has stated how he is going to pursue that goal, as I said and he said.
Consider the source, BunnySlippers. Those who derided/described the sspeech as 'dark' are those with a vested interest in the 'status quo'. It *would* be 'dark' to them, as if it takes root, their easy-money days are dead and gone, and a different paradigm is ascendant. Thus, they would, of a necessity consider it a dark harbinger. We, on the other hand, understand the status quo is *not* sustainable, and so consider a paradigm shift to be embraced, not shunned...

Absolutely. Trump could have hired a conventional speechwriter who could have written some lovely Hallmark sentiments, but it wouldn't be Trump.
It was decidedly “dark” for Hillary. She and her wife aren’t moving into the White House but the Big House.
Trump is confident in himself. Talking to hotel workers, carpenters, bricklayers, greenskeepers have given him a great insight into the soul of middle America.
LOCK HER UP!!!
He has already said that we are going to end inversions and bring all that money back home, by making America business-friendly again.
It sure seemed like the “dark” label had been decided well in advance of the speech actually being delivered.
I heard Trump say that he would make us great, make us prosperous, make us respected. He would bring back jobs, we would make great deals, he would clean up government, and give us law and order.
And the media called this a “dark” vision.
The label makes no sense at all.
I loved one of Don, Jr’s stories, how Dad would take him and Eric to a jobsite, turn them over to the super.....one of them named Vinny.....who taught them how to work, operate all kinds of equipment, including HEAVY. Donnie said when they “graduated” from that, “we were as at home on a D-10 CATERPILLAR as we were in our own cars.”
My own Dad, down on the dairy farm, did something similar. He gave me a scoop shovel and a wheelbarrow and put me to cleaning the cow stables. And by the time I graduated from that, I was as home shoveling cow$h!t as I was eating a banana split!
Everything’s relative.
Trump is none of those things. Trump is blunt. I think that we need blunt.

Real leadership means hiding nothing. I once worked on a very large project for the Defense Department. The project leader was blunt but also honest, open and fair. People respected his integrity and worked hard for him.
I believe Trump wants the best for America. Its not about more fame, money and power; he already has that. This is for country.
The genuine has strong appeal over the phony. Its reassuring to see so many people responding positively to him and what he wants to accomplish.
