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.

I see your point but he was not ever a ‘solid’ supporter from what I saw. He was always objective and had criticisms for either or both of the Clintons.

Doug Schoen is no Pat Caddell, but he’s in the same mold.

He came across as a Leader last night.

People want leaders, not people who just agree with them.

I had a die-hard Democrat ask me if I have fact-checked the lies Trump told lastnight. I replied by saying that I don’t trust the fact-checkers and disregard them. I left it at that as I can’t stomach a battle with a liberal today.

A lot of us are wondering that. Some of it may be reaching North Carolina, but that would most likely only account for a small part.

Do they think Virginia need to be shored up?

In any event, it is money they can’t use in other states. That’s a good thing.
