TRUMP

Let's be clear - the media elites that he rails against, as well as the liberals who believe that people shooting police, terror attacks in Paris are the new normal (the 30% of the country who believe we are on the right track)... will see this speech as negative and dark. 

For those people who strive for something more and do not reflexively believe that anything that went wrong was beyond Obama's control, and if Obama didn't fix it it's because it could not be fixed (the 70% of the country who believe we are on the wrong track)... it hit the nail on the head.

Either the country is doing fine, and we can go on with another four years of Obama policy (without the charm and with more lies)... or the country is not doing fine, and we need change.  

It's really that simple folks. 
_______

Note: Have to say this. Ivanka Trump could run for any office in my state, and I would vote for her. She nailed it tonight. As much as I don't care for Donald Trump, I actually got a little choked up at the end of her introduction speech. I thought she was wonderful. 

My Grade: B  I think it was a good speech all things considered. I felt it was a little disjointed and I thought it was a little long. I feel it would have been more powerful, had he not tried to say "something" about "everything" and kept it closer to 45-50 minutes. The best parts of the speech is when he talked about his children, his friends, and he spoke about his values. Ivanka's line about how her father was the most famous person who nobody actually knows rings true. Bottom line: I would have liked to have learned more about Donald Trump. Honestly, the more I hear his kids talk about him and the more I hear him talk about his life, the more I warm to him. He missed the opportunity to pull me in even more.

What he didn't do (which many were looking for or hoping for) is become obnoxious and over the top... and basically f it up. He stayed on script. That's a win for Trump.

Two focus groups: Both the CNN and the FOX focus groups moved about half of their "undecided" voters over to Trump. The problem was the attitudes of some of the people who saw it negative, were clearly predisposed to not like Trump to begin with. On the flip side, neither focus group came out with anyone saying they were so disappointed that they would vote for Clinton. This plays to the fact that he did not (as many expected) shoot himself in the foot. 




Remember: all of the people telling you that you can’t have the country you want, are the same people telling you that I wouldn’t be standing here tonight. No longer can we rely on those elites in media, and politics, who will say anything to keep a rigged system in place.
Instead, we must choose to Believe In America. 

History is watching us now.It’s waiting to see if we will rise to the occasion, and if we will show the whole world that America is still free and independent and strong.

My opponent asks her supporters to recite a three-word loyalty pledge. It reads: “I’m With Her”. I choose to recite a different pledge.

My pledge reads: “I’M WITH YOU – THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.”

I am your voice.

So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight: I’m With You, and I will fight for you, and I will win for you.

To all Americans tonight, in all our cities and towns, I make this promise: 

We Will Make America Strong Again.
We Will Make America Proud Again.
We Will Make America Safe Again.
And We Will Make America Great Again.
THANK YOU.

Insightful original commentary by our host.

Ah. I see you did add some original thoughts after the initial post. My bad.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

A much, much too long speech. As long as Obama's and Romney's acceptance speeches combined.

A sign of an inferiority complex, so long an acceptance speech.

The people in the hall didn't think so. Nor I suspect most of the people watching on TV.

It was vintage Trump.

I'm with Bill Chrystal on this one. Trump's style and message may resonate with people this election.

Don't feel too bad, Troothers, that the over long speech is getting poor reviews.

What Hillary did to the BLM is classic Liberalism,,,, get them protesting, support them with money and watch the lap dog liberal press cover them wall to wall, then tell them to get to the back of the bus, sit down and shut up.

That is what BLM did at the RNC, in turn they are going to have a parade of BLM speakers, that is going to put this to the forefront of every viewer.

I think the most disappointing thing about the mainstream media's coverage of the speech was their lack of originality.

He includes practically everybody in his insults.

As for ME making blatantly racist comments, Commensa, I've never said anything remotely as racist as this:

“I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is; I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”
--Donald J. Trump, aspiring President of the United States

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

onald Trump is not a candidate the American people would turn to in normal times. He’s too inexperienced, too eccentric, too volatile, too risky. Voting Trump is burning down the house to collect the insurance money — you don’t do it unless things are really, really bad.

Here is Trump’s problem: Things are not really, really bad. In fact, things are doing much better than when President Obama came into office.

Unemployment is 4.9 percent nationally — a number Trump knows is far from a crisis, because it’s lower than the unemployment rate Mike Pence is presiding over in Indiana, and Trump keeps bragging about his running mate’s economic record. The deficit has gone down in recent years, and the stock market has gone up. The end of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars mean fewer Americans are dying abroad. A plurality approve of the job Obama is doing.

So Trump needs to convince voters that things are bad, even if they’re not. He needs to make Americans afraid again. And tonight, he tried.

Vox

But it's what I saw. I watched the speech. I couldn't believe that all he had, is fear, and fear itself.

KD, Econ 400 level said...


How are we going to afford to rebuild our infrastructure, if we cut taxes like he says?" HB


We have time and again explained every economic issue to you HB, you have no ability to learn.

But because I want your vote for Trump here goes.


HB asked it on the back alley blog created for his low IQ crap, so I post it here for those with brains to discuss.





Tax cuts put more money into the hands of the people, not, Obama never raised the tax cuts that Bush did for the middle income earners and the lower earners.

The people that earn that money then do a few things with it, pay off debt, which frees up money to be loaned by the lending institution again. The people save, which build wealth and eliminants the dependence upon government = more freedom. The people also go out and spend it.


ONE part of the Trump plan is to " Repatriation" of money earn aboard by companies based in the USA. See when that money is brought to the USA it gets taxed, again ,,,, Trump plans to make those funds flowing IN to not be taxed as they come to the USA.

US Has the Highest punishing Corp Tax in the industrialized world:


"United States 39.0%"

CNBC (leftist) study on off shore held cash, not assets like machinery or brick and mortar shops, but pure cash and cash equivalent puts the dollar amount at 2.1 trillion US Dollars.


Just think for a moment if say 1/2 of that where to flow back into the USA .

______________

The “laziness” statement came after Donald Trump started having financial difficulties at his casinos in Atlantic City. Trump’s response? He had black accountants. And he managed to squeeze two forms of racism into a single statement.

John O’Donnell, who was president of the Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino and later wrote a memoir about his experience, said Trump blamed financial difficulties partly on African American accountants.

“I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza — black guys counting my money!” O’Donnell’s book quoted Trump as saying. “I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else. . . . Besides that, I’ve got to tell you something else. I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is; I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”

Trump told Playboy magazine that O’Donnell’s memoir was “probably true.”

And then there was this:

When a black woman asked to rent an apartment in a Brooklyn complex managed by Donald Trump’s real estate company, she said she was told that nothing was available. A short time later, a white woman who made the same request was invited to choose between two available apartments. …

In October 1973, the Justice Department filed a civil rights case that accused the Trump firm, whose complexes contained 14,000 apartments, of violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

The Trumps hired Roy Cohn —yes, that Roy Cohn— to defend them in the case, They did what the Trumps always do, countersued for $100 million and made claims that the government was trying to force them to “rent to people on welfare.” Cohn also helped them concoct a series of claims that the Justice Department was employing “Gestapo tactics.” Cohn’s antics were thrown out. The Trumps settled the case.

C.H. Truth said...

Sure Roger...

In a country where 70% of the public believes we are going in the wrong direction...

What you need to do is tell them that they are wrong. Convince them with statistics that what they "feel" is wrong. Tell them over and over and over that their feelings are unwarranted.

I love statistics, but voters have little interest in them. They know in their hearts how they "feel" about things. Many "feel" right now like things are going to hell in a hand basket, and many others feel like things are simply "wrong".

You just better hope there is no more unrest. No more protests, attacks, or anymore bad news about Obamacare, etc... maybe then you can convince Americans that everything is awesome and that we don't need anything changed.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Trump attributed the rise of ISIS in the Middle East directly to Clinton’s decisions as secretary of state.

"In 2009, pre-Hillary, ISIS was not even on the map," he said.

This statement mischaracterizes history. The acronym ISIS is recent, but the group’s origins stem as far back as 2004, when Sunni extremist Abu Mus‘ab al-Zarqawi established al-Qaida in Iraq. The group has gone by various names.

As for ISIS’ growth, some have criticized former president George W. Bush for overthrowing Saddam Hussein in Iraq and creating a vacuum. Obama has been accused of creating a similar vacuum by withdrawing from the country.

"She may ‘share some of the blame,’ but there is more than enough share to go around," said John Pike, a defense expert and director of GlobalSecurity.org. "She was in no sense the singular author of the thing."

As usual, he failed to admit that the Iraq war is the major cause of ISIS.

Commonsense said...

Yeah I saw Politifact bending history to protect Obama and Clinton.

But the fact is ISIS didn't exist as an organization until Obama ordered the bug out of troops stationed in Iraq in 2009.

That fact that the founding members of ISIS belong to another terror organization is somewhat immaterial.

C.H. Truth said...

I could have sworn that the Affordable Care Act was enacted by the 111th United States Congress.

First - hardly an accomplishment. Now even the Democrats believe it's a failure that needs to be replaced by single payer. Secondly, it was crafted illegally and still needed a couple of 5-4 court decisions to become actual law.

C.H. Truth said...

Polifact (or any fact checking org) has no business lending "opinions" to the issue of fact checking. Either it's a fact, it's wrong, or it's an opinion.

Trump offered an opinion that the rise of ISIS can be tied to the Obama/Clinton foreign policy decisions in the Middle East. It's more than a valid argument.

The opinion of those defending the Administration and Clinton against that argument, is just that: a different opinion.

The fact that there is disagreement on the subject does not allow a liberal factbending organization like polifact to call an opinion "false". It's why I simply don't bother to even acknowledge "fact checkers" anymore. I can do my own fact checking clear of other's opinions.

By Aaron Blake December 12, 2013 


The fact-checking Web site Politifact has named President Obama's claim that people could keep their health insurance plans if they liked them its "Lie of the Year."

Obama in recent years has repeated some variation of the following phrase: "If you like your health-care plan, you can keep it." The problem was, it wasn't true, as millions of Americans with health plans that didn't meet Obamacare's standards got cancellation notices."

Obama Hits Back at Trump’s Depiction of the U.S.

President Obama “fiercely rejected Donald Trump’s depiction of an America in crisis on Friday, arguing that violent crime and illegal immigration have plunged under his leadership to their lowest rates in decades,” the AP reports.

Said Obama: “We’re not going to make good decisions based on fears that don’t have a basis in fact.”

He added: “This idea that American is somehow on the verge of collapse, this vision of violence and chaos everywhere, doesn’t really jibe with the experience of most people.”

Less Blacks have the ability to give their children a proper start to their adult lives, unable to save for college, unable to help with a down payment on their first home and unable to pass on any kind of inheritance.

Under Obama the Blacks have a new "GAP".

This time my readings took me to see if Whites retire with more wealth in the end and into retirement do we Whites have more to live on and more to travel on and generally enjoy life.

The answer surprised me, I mean after almost 8 years of the greatest presididn't and the greatest transfer of wealth from the workers to the interlopers , I was thinking surely both people like my wife and I, both WHITE retire with the same level of saving and income thru retirement as the BLACK person.

I have to admit I am wrong. Seems that the black retiree is far poorer. Saved less when they did work, earned less on the saved money then whitey and in the end will have less money to pay bills and have a tiny bit left over to enjoy retirement.

Urban Institute finds that the black family has $100,000 less in retirement savings then does the average whitey,,,,,, to attempt to be fair to the black people mainly Democrats, the UI, did “We found that even after controlling for income and age, African American and Hispanic families have less,” .


So even IF the whitey and the black person made the same income over their lives, the black man still retires on less, a lot less.

continuing educate the left daily is has been my mission since the BUSH SOARS Days.


"According to new research from Johns Hopkins University, blacks were much more likely than whites to experience major declines in their overall net worth -- regardless of whether they bought their homes before or during the Great Recession.



"We expected that both whites and blacks would lose if they purchased right around the recession and they did," said Sandra Newman, a professor of policy studies at Johns Hopkins who co-authored the report.

But what the researchers didn't expect were such stark racial differences.

For example, blacks who purchased their first home between 2003 and 2005 suffered a 23% loss in net worth. In the same period, the net worth of white first-time homebuyers jumped as much as 50%. "

ouch, that sucks.
Surely because of free shit for some, it got better because the ONE has been in office, Right?


"Part of the reason why blacks lost wealth is because their homes did not appreciate in value as much as those owned by whites, particularly if those homes are in majority black communities that experienced high rates of foreclosure and declining rates of homeownership.

Wikileaks has released a collection of 20,000 DNC emails given to them by the hacker known as Guccifer 2.0. One interesting thing discovered in reviews of the contents is that the DNC really did seem to have it out for Bernie Sanders.

I would say that releasing 20,000 DNC emails on the eve of the Democrat Convention would turn a dull, stage-manage event into something interesting but I don't expect the media to follow up with the same gusto they would have if it was the Republicans.

needed a couple of 5-4 court decisions to become actual law.

Gee, it appears CH believes the SCOTUS writes the law while I always thought it was congress. Must suck to be as biased as you.

Maybe if congress actually worked instead of going on vacation, things might have been different. LOL

Gee Opie... I thought it was suppose to be congress too? But when did congress pass a federal law legalizing same sex marriage?

I'll give you a hint... they didn't.

Gee CH, maybe you didn't notice that the SCOTUS ruling was based on discrimination that is based on the constitution that all people are created equal. And to think, I thought you were an expert on all things law. Here's a hint, you can't fix stupid like your spin. LOLOL

Dayum CH, you can be Loretta dumb at times, but, I still am amused at your attempt to spin everything your way.

WASHINGTON — In a long-sought victory for the gay rights movement, the Supreme Court ruled by a 5-to-4 vote on Friday that the Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage.

“No longer may this liberty be denied,” Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority in the historic decision. “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were.”

I guess you think we should legislate everything in your world. BWAAAAA!!!!!

Opie - thanks for proving my point...

Which was that most of the major accomplishments touted by liberals (such as gay marriage) were not passed through congress and signed into law.

Gay marriage bans were passed via voter referendums in 30 different states, only failing twice.

A federal constitutional amendment was blocked by Democrats who simply did not want the "country" to decide... they preferred it be decided by the courts.

Kind of ironic that a party that call themselves the Democrats eschews a democratic solution.
