He did what he wanted, he calmed the suburban women. He doesn’t need red met at this speech, his avid passionate voters are still supporting him. He used this as a campaign speech, brilliant.
This x 1000. You just provided better analysis of this speech than the entire Fox News panel.
This was a targeted speech to the “well, his tweets are mean” crowd - i.e. - the suburban mom vote that will likely decide the race.
I think too many expected the raucous and edgy stump speeches we see at the rallies.
This was NOT the venue for that and the optics would have been bad from the White House.
This whole convention was about remaking the Republican brand as a whole. It succeeded.
Boy those Bushies must feel low this morning.
