On the final night of a convention filled with mishaps -- of the plagiarism, non-endorsement varieties -- Donald Trump painted a bleak picture of America, even as he officially accepted the Republican party's nomination for presidency.
His name was stamped in bold font across the convention hall jumbotron as he walked on stage. "I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States," Trump began his speech. He paused for a moment before departing from his prepared remarks to join the audience in chanting: "USA! USA! USA!"
At this point, Trump couldn't help but gloat a little over his victory in the primary race.
"Who would have believed that when we started this journey on June 16th of last year we - and I say 'we' because we are a team - would have received almost 14 million votes, the most in the history of the Republican Party," he said, "and that the Republican Party would get 60 percent more votes than it received four years ago." He noted that the Democratic party's primary voter turnout rates were "not so good."
The billionaire proceeded to lay out a dark vision of America: "Our convention occurs at a moment of crisis for our nation. The attacks on our police, and the terrorism in our cities, threaten our very way of life."
"Americans watching this address tonight have seen the recent images of violence in our streets and the chaos in our communities," he continued. "Many have witnessed this violence personally. Some have even been its victims."
"I have a message for all of you," he said. "The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon -- and I mean very soon -- come to an end. Beginning on January 20th 2017, safety will be restored."

You’re the best. FR sticking together matters. God bless JR for cleaning up the place to forge ahead to the end game.
He offers us a camp where we can brave up and hit back.
This is no easy mission and tolerating any static in the process is a crime against the unit and cohesion. Jim cuts the mustard with me.
That's raciss!
That wussy SJW will never live that down. Which is what he deserves for being a poster boy for the “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor” liar.
“The wheels came off in the Soviet Bloc when people no longer believed newscasts like that one.”
Exactly correct. We no longer believe in the newscasts like this one.”
Nor do we watch or listen.
Trump’s vision for the future is bright, the dark vision he’s described is what we have now.
Trump’s vision for the future is bright, the dark “vision” he’s described is what we have now, and most voters know exactly what Trump is talking about because they live these things on a daily basis, unlike the elite enemedia propagandists who keep telling us how wonderful everything is even though no one can afford medical care, mean family income is down $4,000.00 since obama took office, ISIS attacks innocents on nearly a weekly basis around the world, our manufacturing jobs have been sent to Mexico and China, illegal immigrants flood the U.S., bringing disease, violent crime and depressing wages, violent black-on-black crime in the big, Democrat-controlled cities is out of control, cops are being assassinated on nearly a weekly basis with the tacit approval of the Obama administration, and much, much more.
Was CBS watching the SAME Convention that I was????
What part of “Make America GREAT again” don’t they understand? That’s an optimistic message. All the speakers were optimistic and hopeful.
Criticizing the Left Socioeconomic Fascists isn’t pessimistic. It’s realistic!
It’s astonishing that SeeBS (CBS)is now pumping pure propaganda whereas before they tried to pretend...
I know. I almost put this “news” piece in Editorial.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate, huh?
Never, indeed! The other stupidity is allowing obvious voter fraud. The Republicans just don’t seem to care as the Dems stuff the ballot boxes.
Make America Light Again!
+Trump offers dark vision of America in speech”
Dark to those that are in darkness.
The only darkness at the confvention was exposing the darkness the left has cast over this country
Trump et al were and are shining the Light of Truth into the “dark”ness created by Obama/Clinton/dems and others whose agenda is trying it’s best to destroy America
Make America Safe Again Make America One Again
