Opinion of Donald Trump's convention speech?

[dspNY]

Speech went on too long. Twitter panning it simply for that reason

Why do people think this is a speech that will help Trump?

It was too long.
Trump's register was strained and ultra-negative. In his rallies he can improvise with levity, but that was completely lacking.
The issues he focused on (crime???) are not going to win over swing-voters.

I honestly think he lost the election tonight.

Believe it or not, the WORST thing you can do in politics is talk for too long! It should be all the dystopian garbage he's been peddling but once people tune out, that's it. People stop listening after 45 minutes regardless
