Trump’s strong Republican Convention speech increases his reelection chances
Fox News ^ | August 27 2020 | Doug Schoen

Posted on 08/27/2020 11:03:08 PM PDT by knighthawk

President Trump delivered one of the best speeches of his political career Thursday night as he accepted the Republican National Convention’s nomination for a second term, boosting his chances for reelection.

The president’s 70-minute speech was highly effective in the sense that he drew clear and arguably persuasive contrasts between himself and former Vice President Joe Biden in many areas, including their broad-based visions for America, the economy, and law enforcement.

In a way that was reminiscent of Trump’s positioning during the 2016 campaign, the president made it clear that he is running as an outsider and a non-politician against Democratic presidential nominee Biden, who Trump characterized as embodying the political class and the establishment.

The Biden campaign just did a MAJOR ad buy in Virginia beginning October 6.

Doug Schoen is an honest man. He was a solid Clinton supporter for years.

Doug is one of the few Democrats I can bare to watch. Chris Wallass was his usual arrogant self. Brit Hume was a disappointment.

Funny how Soros hasn’t sent his rent-a-mob to VA cities.

fox news “translater” did his best to pour cold water on trump’s magnificent acceptance speech in the FNC post event ANALysis.

had to flip channels after seeing the loaded Fox panel: wallace, brazille, juan, britt, dana bushie & doug (may have been the only honest ANALyst?)

Biden, who Trump characterized as embodying the political class and the establishment.

Pretty sure this is 100% accurate and not just a “characterization”

People like strong and impressive displays. The DNC was a pathetic and weak High School level attempt at running for class president. The RNC and Trump blew everything away.

/High School Convention/ - interesting concept for a Disney musical promoting Biden.

Agree. He used to be a regular on some Fox News program hosted by Harris Faulkner every weekend.

Though a firm Dem, he always was fair in giving kudos when the Pubs did something good.

He’s much different from most Dems I see on TV, as they all lie and spin. ...Tarlov, Harf, Marshall, Hahn, Goolsby, Zimmerman, Fowler, Swan, Goldstein, et al.

Interestingly, Chris Macchio performs a magnificent rendition of "Nessun Dorma" at the conclusion of the RNC 2020 Convention. Now... where was the last time that came up in presidential politics? ...Well fictional presidential politics, perhaps... or foreshadowed presidential politics... maybe.

Notice that the last moments of President Trump's speech deal with new agreements with Russia.

The Dems tried to nuke PDJT and the whole country, which is reminiscent of the Morgan Freeman, James Cromwell, Jack Ryan, Ciaran Hinds, Michael Byrne, Liev Schreiber, and Alan Bates film, "Sum of All Fears".

So what is the hidden message of the speech and song?

The final scene in the movie and book is called ‘Payback’!

Inasmuch as the “market share”/”reviews” are not yet available, I cannot say for sure but the previous nights of the GOP Convention had MORE than 2X as many viewers as the DIMocRATS highest night number was.

The TRUTH is that the GOP Convention “blew the doors off” the PITIFUL DIMocRATS Convention.

The left needs to reconcile themselves with the fact that JOE BIDEN AND KAMELTOE HARRIS increase President Trump’s reelection chances.

According to Chris Wallace, it was flat and lacking.
