Republican National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Non Swing Voter]

Was Trump's speech really low energy or are people here just Trump haters?  I didn't watch.  But I noticed in the last election that when Trump felt like he was losing he put less effort in.  He really lets things get to him.  If it was as low energy as people here say then it probably signifies that he does recognize that he's losing.

Granted I have only watched for 10 minutes but it is a pretty good speech so far

I guess that you're voting for Trump now. LOL, not surprising.

No you can say someone gave a good speech and still not vote for them lol

There is nothing in this garbage speech that he hasn't been saying months and in some case years. It's the same ol' Trump nonsense.

you can say th same thing about any joe or kamala speech. stop being a hack

Not true. Also, most of what Trump says is a bunch of lies.

the irony

There is none. Trump has told the most lies than any President in American history.

Biden and Kamala have lied more than Drump. Biden lied about caring about black people and Kamala lies about not being a cop

Weak and of course untrue.

I thought it was the same rambling style as usual. There was a big fireworks show and an opera singer at the end, though.

Remember Trump’s sad walk of shame after the Tulsa rally?

That. But a speech.

[OSR stands with Israel]

This is his best speech since the 2019 State of the Union Address . He will probably get a 3 point bump from this imo

Dana Bash and jake Tapper call it very “disciplined”.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Dana Bash and jake Tapper call it very “disciplined”.

Oh boy! Is this the “change in tone” they both have been heralding for literally months?

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

Wow, the alternate reality that the blue avatars (and solidcoalition) are living in by calling Trump's speech "great" lol. This country is fractured...permanently.

Not comparing Trump’s speech to this but would you call Reagan’s inaugural speech bad .


Just cause you disagree with the content in a speech doesn’t make it bad

[Progressive Pessimist]

CNN's current panel have now said that Trump came off as "boring."

[ibagli]

lol

I can't wait for tonight's overlong Quaalude teleprompter speech filled with abstruse Stephen Miller imagery, followed by the declarations that he successfully pivoted to a new tone.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Obama would’ve been impeached by 7 AM today if he had done what Trump did at the WH.

Doesn't it though? What else would you judge it on?

Trump just lost Van Jones.

Trump just lost Van Jones.

What is he saying?

These particular Fox reporters aren't Trump hacks; those who are will be saying something different.

Reagan was a great orator. Trump is a carnival barker.

Also, I may have disagreed with most of Reagan's policies but he didn't lie nearly as much as Trump has.

Isn’t Brit Hume pretty Trump friendly, though?

So it'll be like how debates are rated afterwards? Cause I don't think that's what Trump should aim for.

Diehard Democrats: "Biden had the better speech & convention"
Diehard Republican: "Trump had the better speech & convention"

Everyone else: "Didn't watch, so none of this matters and we'll be back to a 50-42 Biden lead until the first debate"

On its delivery , and how much of a bump it gets

My thing is how can we decipher between a Hurricane Laura Bump, Kenosha Bump or Convention Bump. There's just so much going on this week.

Or if Trump doesn't get anything and still claws back to victory by November. Kinda the whole "Trump won in 2016, therefore 100% of his campaign was 100% flawless"
