This was a moment that millions of Americans, some of them very weird indeed, have been praying for. This was the moment that tens of millions of others viewed with fear, revulsion, disbelief.
The most divisive political figure in modern U.S. history became his party’s standard-bearer for the presidential election.
After I wrote in the Mail in February that a Donald Trump presidency was a real possibility, I was teased as if I had suggested that it might snow in July.
Today, a distant spectre has grown into something much bigger and scarier. The prospect will give sleepless nights to many world leaders, both America’s friends and foes.
Vice-presidential candidate Mike Pence said the country ‘has only one choice’ at the ballot box: ‘It’s change versus the status quo, and when Donald Trump is president, the change will be huge.’ This is, indeed, the reason that a mendacious and xenophobic braggart could win the greatest elective office on earth.
His opponent is Hillary Clinton. She’s widely hated — ruthless and bossy.
Even my clever East Coast friends, who are petrified of Trump, say they will need to take painkillers before going out to vote for her.
Across middle America, in the vast territories where this election will be decided, away from the country’s narrow sophistication belts, many people are happy to believe the worst conspiracy stories about any member of the Clinton family.

Yeah. Right. That’s why he’s been part of over 500 successful businesses. Because he’s stupid. By that standard, collecting government checks makes you an Einstein.
Yep. Trump MUST be “stupid and ignorant” - after all, he’s not a puke leftist who wants to destroy America. Never mind that he made 10 BILLION dollars. As we all know , “stupid and ignorant” people do that every day.
You beat me by 12 seconds! LOL. :-)
The Donald must have knocked the seams of the ball last night judging by the libtard reactions today.
Dang! This fall is going to be fun!
Keep it up, MSM. Keep it up.
If only he had been a constitutional scholar with publishing ONE paper...
To go on to be a community organizer...

On the other hand, Max Hastings is an insufferable toff.
The arch-fascist, arch-imperialist, warmongering, racist, homophobic plutocrat Donald J. Trump has been nominated by the stupid Americans! God help us all!
I wish I was as stupid as Trump.
Why? Because I would be a billionaire.

He is a good military historian, but he should stay out of politics. He’s not as good at that.
“This fearsome man’s popularity reflects a new kind of politics which is probably here to stay — and not only in America.
Democracy is in trouble because of a breakdown of trust, a collapse of the old idea that those in charge know best.”

Well he got ONE thing right.

I doubt most of them even listened to the speech. Most of them probably wrote their reactions several days ago.
The only ones afraid of Trump are those on the establishment gravy train.
He looks like a man in need of 1,000 enemas.
It would be darn near impossible to be more divisive than 0bama has been.
Slimey twit
Exactly. If you made a billion dollars by yourself, you aint stupid.
