The yelling just would not stop.
So grating. So banal. So fitting of
a dipshit like Donald Trump.

When he does these teleprompter speech, he is obviously not himself.

When he speaks off the cuff, that's him talking.

They liked it, and some called it the best speech they ever heard, but there was worry about the shouting, the lack of substance, that he did not say "god bless America", that there was no mention of abortion, etc.


What did you think of Trump's speech?

Of course we all loved it, but how do you think it'll effect voters?
Independents, anti-Trump Republicans, evangelicals, other needed voting blocks?

It was all we’re gonna do this, and we’re gonna do that. But no this is how we’re gonna do it.

While it would be difficult to measure the precise impact his speech will have on his success, it is clear that Trump will win in a blowout amongst the productive and honest Americans, while the thieves and murderers will unanimously vote for Hitlerbeast.

Powerful speech. Of course, he made promises he can’t possibly keep. He’s going to get a big bump coming out of the convention. Huma should stop redecorating the White House.

It was too long for most Americans but it was a good speech. Parts were on things the average American could not or would not understand and he probably lost some during those parts. There is nothing the dems can counter with.

I thought it was good, but I kept seeing the panning of the audience that was full of delegates who were mostly not Trump supporters.
I think that ruined it.

In my memory no Republican has not ended an acceptance speech with God Bless America.
I have a problem with that.

Social Conservatives took it on the chin.

If you’re pro life...No mention of the sanctity of life or protecting unborn children.

If you’re pro gay...Congratulations. Even the delegates applauded Trump’s shout-out to the LGBTQ.

In fairness, he did mention that he would like to allow churches more freedom of speech when it comes to political preferences.
