National Public Radio political correspondent Mara Liasson praised Donald Trump’s speech on Wednesday for its effective attacks on Hillary Clinton, calling it “the speech Republicans have been waiting 20 years to hear.” The presumptive Republican presidential nominee delivered a 41-minute address from his skyscraper in New York, attacking his Democratic rival for corrupt deals while at the State Department, and responding to her own sharp attack on his economic policies the day before. Liasson writes that while the Clinton campaign was already disputing the particulars of Trump’s argument, he had made the case against Clinton in a way Republicans have

Excellent summary. Praying you are right - I think a lot of us feel like you describe.
THIS endorsement from National Public Radio?????
Good for liberal Mara! SPOT ON!
The BEST speech ever, and AMEN.
The title of the article is incorrect! We have been waiting for 36 years (Reagan) or even 52 years (Goldwater).
Link to speech please
Oh, you said it.
Go BIG on that forcing her on DEFENSE!
It was so immediate, she probably skipped her bath and headed for the nearest microphone at the curb!
I sent Trump a decent contribution today. I will be sending more as the campaign unfolds. We finally, finally have a candidate to be excited about. It’s been a long time since Reagan.
“The DemocRATs are going bonkers.”
The Democrats certainly knew this was coming for months. It can’t possibly be a surprise. The mystery is why they allowed Hillary to become their candidate. She’s extremely vulnerable.
The Paul Ryan/Hillary Clinton forces can not stop, silence or bury what Donald TRUMP said today.
It was historic, it was truth to the dotted “i”, and it was the SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD.
The PRESIDENT arrived today. Donald J. TRUMP.
With exception of this line it's pretty good:
It’s rigged by big businesses who want to leave our country, fire our workers, and sell their products back into the U.S. with absolutely no consequences for them.
It's called freedom Donald. If we were not regulating and taxing them to death they'd be coming here, not leaving. You're not going to cure the problem of the heavy hand of Government by adding to it's weight. If you disagree with free trade then read this first before flaming me. And yes I'm voting for Donald, but I'd vote for a homicidal monkey rather then Heil Hillary.
Maybe, but I think Trump is more like Roger Enright than Howard Roark; a minor point that doesn't lessen the major comparison to Toohey.
I'll vote for Trump in November, but some pictures cannot be un-imagined...
The $50 I gave Trump is the most I ever given a candidate. It beats the $20 I gave Newt in 2012.
(Hillary getting spanked)
Whack! Whack! Whack!
You should find time to watch it for yourself, there was very little name-calling, but chapter-and-verse indictment with supporting data on just about everything she’s screwed-up, taken personal advantage of, or failed to do.
Trump only needs to repeat this speech and it’s points endlessly, that’s the only way the LIVs will ever understand that it is NOT just name-calling.
I liked the speech. What I didn’t like was the continuous breaks for applause. Wasn’t necessary and broke Trumps cadence.
We should start calling Hillary “Edmund.”
My first reaction was "28 years," since Reagan's farewell address in '88, but I won't quibble
“The mystery is why they allowed Hillary to become their candidate.”
The devil is in the saddle and riding the big D party and the USA.
Mara Liasson is liberal, but she’s also “old school,” which means she actually knows the difference between truth and Media Matters lies, which virtually no journo-list is capable of nowadays.
I think if Trump can stay away from personal attacks on Hillary (the fact she is ugly, old, a woman, has a horrible voice, personality, health, Etc.) and focus on her failed policies, lying to the American people, failure as SoS, corruption at the Clinton Foundation, quid pro quo, Etc he will resonate with the people. Don’t give the media any extra opportunities to change the subject to his supposed bigotry, racism, xenophobia. Keep the focus on HRC and her multitude of shortcomings. Lord knows there are enough of them.
I was thinking the beginning of President Reagan’s terms in office; you were thinking of the end. You are correct!
Good observation. In one respect we are both right-it has been a long time.
