DNC vs. RNC: Which convention had the most impact?

Donald Trump weighs in

(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...


TOPICS: News/Current Events; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: convention; dnc; impact; rnc
Donald Trump interview this morning on Fox is great. He said the DNC had all the right speakers and got a bump out of it and that Sarah Palin should have spoken at the RNC convention. Also, Trump said that Romney needs to get tough on Obama or he is going to lose the election. Trump said the Republicans are pandering to Obama and are afraid to attack him. He will give more specifics next Monday. Trump said the Romney team is wrong trying to please the independents and fearing they will be called racists if they attack Obama. He said the media were disgraceful regarding how they slammed Clint Eastwood.

Trump is right. Romney is afraid to go after Obama on anything except jobs and Obama has “jobs” on his side because the only jobs that Obama cares about are union jobs. That’s what the teacher strike in Illinois is all about, rallying the teachers around the country for Obama.

Wow, I watched the interview and Trump is spot on.

If Trump gets it, wonder why don’t the idiots running the romney campaign don’t.

Frankly, I believe the DNC convention had more effect in terms of revitalizing the base...for a brief period, at least. If that is what you’re referring to when citing “impact”. I was amazed. All these libs have to do is to trot out the same old utopian ideals and the same old bumper stickers and the zealots get all drippy again and jump out of their chairs. Doesn’t matter if the endorsees are losers, disgraced ex-presidents, liars, or drunks. They love to hear those core ideas repeated; if they didn’t work the last 17 times they were tried, well, there’s always the next time.

Now whether this translates into something meaningful 60 or so days from now, that’s possibly another story. I can’t predict the future. Now we have Romnoid claiming he’d retain some aspects of 0bamacare (of course that was *after* the convention so it’s not exactly appropriate for your specific question) but these things have a way of ebbing and flowing. The most objective macro analysis I’ve heard was put forth by that Las Vegas oddsmaker guy-—and he pointed out that each and every one of the motley, disparate groups forming the Dem base have been eroded. Maybe not by a lot, but quite possibly enough to make a difference. Even though I think his economic plans are fairly empty, if not impossible, I believe the biggest shift in voter sentiment was achieved by Romney selecting Ryan.

By far, the DNC and more impact. The speakers touched on those things that seem to be near and dear to modern Americans’ hearts... more tax-paid access to abortions and birth control, homo “rights,” more expansive government control of the economy, continued high unemployment and exclusion of God from our lives.

Yes, it’s strange, but apparently the populace of New America is down with all that. Obama has indeed succeeded in remaking this country.

Trump - please have a chat with Romney and tell him how to win this thing. Number 1: Obama is NOT a nice guy. He’s a communist and should be labeled as such. He was mentored by a communist and has ties to Bill Ayers. He placed commies in his cabinet. Maybe one of Romney’s pacs could run an ad so he doesn’t have to get his hands dirty on the personal stuff. Come on Romney - don’t be a three time loser. Go after the thug. He only plays nice in front of the cameras but he really is one nasty piece of work. The sooner Romney realizes that the better.

I agree. Anyone out there listening who may have some influence on Romney's campaign?

Republicans are becoming the poster children for "Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory".

One thing everyone seems to be missing here is the 09-11 effect.

There is a 4-5 point “rally to the flag” effect during the anniversary of 09-11. Like it or not the fact O was in charge when the Seals got Bin Laden is going to help him in the polls for the next week or so.

So the “hate Romney Always” Freepers might want to hold off on popping the corks from their Obama champagne bottles just yet.

Gingrich has been doing a great job out there. Here is a recent interview he had on CNN:

[ He said the media were disgraceful regarding how they slammed Clint Eastwood. ]

Hmmmm Trump looking for “grace” from the main stream media!!!!?..
Wonder what he’s smoking?.. You know in that smoky back room...

He’s correct though.. this election is a Cartoon...

Running the inventor of Romney-care against the inventor of Obama-care.. must have been thought up by Wiley E. Coyote.. i.e. (Karl Rove)

No doubt Acme Explosives, Safes and Rockets LTD.. will get a kick back of some sort..

Jessica Rabbit(Ann Coulter) and Roger Rabbit(Myth Romney) are playing Toontown like a Looney Tunes Documentary.. Them Wepublican Wabbits are eating this up like it wasn’t a done deal..

You knew it was a Cartoon when the republicans rejected quite literally ALL conservative candidates.. and put a “heavy bitch SLAPP” on a few of them..

No wonder “Newt” has been quieter than a mouse at a weasel hunting party..
The Wepublicans ain’t you’re Grand Old Party any more...
The became furry, toothy and have a carrot fetish..

HELLO IT’S A CARTOON!!!.. -Pope Pipish I...

This is their function in the corrupt "Two-Party Cartel".

The Democrats’ NO! No! NO! to God & Israel had the biggest impact.

Well if an empty chair goes on to live in infamy as the symbol of the worst presidency ever, then its the RNC Convention.
