Trump is showing his heart tonight. Trump is giving average Americans and patriotic Americans a voice.

This shows who Trump is more than anything we’ve ever seen before in a Republican Convention in the information age. Reagan will always be on another level. But in our world, no one can touch Trumps desire to stop people who hate our country. Period.

Someone said tonight that Trump will be the most compassionate President with real Americans we have seen in a long time. Everything about tonight shows Trump’s heart.


Spot ON!!!

[Been watching conventions since 1972. Normally they are boring affairs with mostly pontificating politicians who go way past their time.]

Former GOP Conventions had delegates and pundits milling around. Everyone is glued to their seats to hear the speakers.

And worse, they were trying to tell us the convention would suffer by not hearing from washed-up has-been rejects like Romney and the Bushes. Talk about an all-star and compelling line-up of speakers!

NO “low energy” types!

If someone disagrees, will they be asked to take it elsewhere?
