The media seems to be attempting to associate “dark” with some sort of menace that they fear. Naked racism.

That was my take as well. The sensitivity training is working.

Rush always plays stories like this.

YUP!

I always enjoyed his montages(sp?) of the media's word/phrase du jour.

No there there...gravitas...less is more...Republican taliban...risky scheme......

When playing the Trump Game, the race card is invalid

Similar indoctrination yields similar results. It starts in the education system. And you’re right about laziness. Originality is hard.

It is so pervasive, that it can be deduced that there was collusion, and that the media gathered together to agree upon some theme that would damage Trump the most.

Collusion hell!

It is mass PLAGERISM!!!

Which makes me wonder why they gave the text of the speech out so early...

The snap poll showed 75% of Americans liked the speech and 56% said it made a difference in their decision. Of course that would sound dark to the Obamedia.

Pray America wakes

Although I think they have over payed the race card. That’s all they have. They can never debate the facts.

Any speech by a politician competing in an election is going to mention problems that he alleges he can solve (or she).

Trump mentioned problems and inspirationally outlined how he would tackle them.

His speech was stirring and inspirational.
