They keep talking about how he's all for women getting the best jobs.

I guess he's really all in for Hillary.

This is the "we're f**ked, I can make it better, speech."

It feels like a speech from a dystopian future where the country is so scared it elects a dictator.

Very much like a guy from Italy in the thirties.

Yes, I do see that resemblance.

That is exactly what they want - a dictator - and Trump will be King dictator.  He will see the treasury as his own money and get as much as possible transferred to his bank.  He sees the US as a cash cow for Trump Enterprises and family.

Whoa. Off script, Trump praises the crowd, "as a republican," for cheering the protection of gays from violence.

The remarkable thing was, he didn't just go off prompter, he switched from angry shouting mode to normal mode.

Trump does this thing where he picks good minority groups and bad ones. It helps combat the idea that he's just for white nationalists.

This is a remarkably dark/bleak speech. More boos (about bad things in country/world) than cheers. No uplift; almost purely negative.  Huge opening for Hillary next week.

He wants full scale war on ISIS but wants to eliminate NATO that is home to some our most important regional staging bases and hospitals. I bet all the soldiers who had to go to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center don't think it is obsolete.

I honestly believe this speech is not going to play. Too dark about the wrong things. But what the bleep do I know?

When I read the text, I thought it would play. But since he's shouted the whole thing, I think he's coming off as alarming in the wrong way.

Actually I KNOW WHY this speech seems so, so, so much more off-putting than normal.

Usually Trump is funny. Likable, even.

Not today

Remember to look at the second one on the thread too [scroll down a bit]! It's even worse than the first [they slowed it down; it's hysterical, in a sick way]. And these are videos [not still shots]; so click on them!

America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign. -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Did you know: America now manufactures more but with one-third fewer workers than it did in 1997? It's almost as if trade isn't the problem.
