I watched every minute of it. And to be honest, I found it hard to watch. I can't believe with all his money he didn't/couldn't hire a speechwriter. Things like "Who the hell would vote for him?" may resonate with some but they they don't come across as presidential. I believe that hurts his chances. What I saw was the same man who was having the stupid spat with Rosie. Sorry guy, that's what I saw. His message was lost in the absurdity and the boorishness of his delivery. I do believe had he hired a speechwriter and a few professional handlers to coach him on what to do and what not to do things could have been different. But that's just me. I'm looking for someone who is presidential, someone fitting for the office, not someone who comes across as an inarticulate blowhard, who, good ideas or not, cannot get elected because of his boorish nature. That's just my .02¢.

I have no need for any stinking speech writers. lol. I want the real deal, someone with their own thoughts and words.

BTW, I don't watch Rosie.

Professional handlers are the people who keep losing elections for us. No thanks!

You’d rather stick with pols who need speechwriters instead of telling it like they see it? C’mon.

I think I’d rather vote for somebody with BALLS.

We’ve had enough teleprompter parrots.
