The speech will definitely help Trump. It was focused, disciplined, covered a lot of ground and wooed varied constituencies. He didn't degenerate to the baser instincts and focused on visions of a better country.

Of course his premise is still wrong, the promises were made without a clear idea of how to achieve them and there were quite a few statements that contradicted each other.

However all that is for another day. Tonight he did well and will definitely get a bounce out of it!

We were clearly listening to different speeches.

No, we listened to the same speech. I don't necessarily agree with many things he said, but am just parking subjective feelings and looking at this objectively. The speech WILL help Trump with voters.

Lol. I think this will help marginally. I don't see this pulling support FROM Hillary Clinton. I think he's given Hillary and the Democrats SO much material for next week.

Also - since Trump is lying about crime stats... apparently now those who dare present actual evidence that counters Trump's fear-mongering are not to be trusted.

It's outright insanity - it's a pity this lot didn't get into Scientology, they'd be a much smaller risk to the country and the world.
