What did you think of Trump's speech?

Posted on 07/21/2016 9:17:54 PM PDT by MNDude

Of course we all loved it, but how do you think it'll effect voters?

Independents, anti-Trump Republicans, evangelicals, other needed voting blocks?

It was pretty good. Hillary Clinton will be destroyed in any debate she has with him. My guess is she will refuse any debates.

” guess you weren’t included in “God Bless You” then”

It's not me, the problem is that Trunp did not include America.

As in “God Bless America” get it?

Hillary will never debate. Even against bernieshe chose Saturday nights for debates

She will never debate trump. The only success she’ll have there is blaming her inability to debate trump on trump

But there will not be a trump Hillary debate.

Wow! I missed the focus group. I am so pleased to hear those results! I wish I hadn’t have turned it off. I was so angry, though.

There were seven who said they were going to vote for Trump and there were ZERO who said they would vote for Hillary.

Was it Yada Yada or Bada-Bing Bada-Boom for you?

I liked the Speech. Had a few slow parts near the end, but it did the job. It was better than I expected.

It was an acceptance Speech, not a detailed Policy Speech. It listed Goals and Priorities just as it should have.

Most impressed by how measured, on message. This is the Donald I’ve been waiting for. I’ve always been fearful his antics would scare off people, but this was a genuine guy. If this is not sinful to say, I always was mesmerized by Ronald Reagan’s speeches, but they always sounded like read speeches, even on the TOTUS. This one felt spoken much more naturally, yet he was in control. Notice how he didn’t say, “Get them out of here” re: the hecklers. Big little move for him to compliment the cops and the city of Cleveland.

Plenty enough substance. Motivating.

I want to hear the numbers in viewership. If a lot of folks, enticed by the drama of earlier events tuned in and heard DJT for the first time, they have to be impressed, have to be.

That’s what I think.

He did not say God bless America.

He never does. That is very brave of him, and he gets my respect for that.

We are a secular country. I give major props to Trump for not concentrating on bible verses and such. I liked Cruz until he got so Jesus Wacky. Trump respects Christians - no doubt about it. He is probably Christian himself. However we are NOT a Christian nation. There are plenty of us atheists out there - a very large voting block. You would be surprised how many conservative atheists there are. It's a breath of fresh air, and shows a level of respect for those who are not Christians or part of the desert-god Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, Muslim)

Enforce our existing laws, renegotiate existing trade agreements, and reduce immigration for starters. America first.

“I’ll see if Kate Smith can drop by your place sometime.”

You place your faith in Kate Smith, I’ll place my faith in God and I’ll pray God will Bless America.

Yup. Dystopia is when you can’t say all lives matter without getting fired from your job.

There are two challenges to overcome.

1. Getting someone to actually listen to it.
2. seeing if they can overcome the rhetoric that’s been tossed Trump’s way and believe it.

According to Luntz, it’s about a 1/3rd split among undecideds. A third loved it and embraced trump. 1/3rd were at least cooled to Hillary. And 1/3rd were unmoved.

Well, Obama says “God Bless America” as do most pols, but it really means nothing to them.

Social Conservatives took it on the chin.

If you’re pro life...No mention of the sanctity of life or protecting unborn children.

If you’re pro gay...Congratulations. Even the delegates applauded Trump’s shout-out to the LGBTQ.

In fairness, he did mention that he would like to allow churches more freedom of speech when it comes to political preferences.
