The speech was a little too long. That all said this speech was not directed at MAGA supporters whose votes he already has. It was primarily directed at those who did not vote for him in the last election over mean tweets. A lot of time spent humanizing Trump this week.
He was not an attack dog, he did show some ego but BFD, that is not why some did not vote for him in the last election . He was not mean last night, and he was that way for a very long speech, in that respect that showed some good emotional control. I thought his delivery was exactly as I expected based on who he was trying to win over, the length surprised me.
He was trying to appeal to those who are undecided with their votes. That was not the typical DJT we saw last night, and that was the POINT, he was not trying to win over MAGA supporters. MAGA supporters know he is on point with the issues that matter to him.
Last night, I found myself asking: I wonder if the 2 older women in my office that did not vote for him in the last election over mean tweets have had a change of heart? I don't know that answer, but that IS the question. I told both of them prior to the last election: Biden will destroy the economy and Russia will get aggressive seeing a super weak leader. That was the last time I talked politics with them, probably will not again unless they bring it up.
The libs will say it was awful, and MAGA supporters will say he was not on offense enough. The other issue he had, who is he suppose to go on offense against? Right now we don't really know who the Dim nominee will be. Right now his comments are towards the "administration", Trump is more use to being on offense with a known individual.
Probably the highest IQ person I know, told me after the last debate, that Trump needed to be careful and not come across as too much of a bully and just beating up on an old, weak, senile man. Said at some point it would backfire, and he is pro Trump. Another comment made last night to me was Trump will not go back on offense until Corey is put to rest.
If it is Kamala? Hopefully we see Trump back to himself and he gets a catchy nickname for her. My vote is for Czar. She was the border czar and failed horribly, it would stick. The "incompetent Czar Kamala Harris could not even seal the border, so easy to do, so easy. She can't do anything, totally incapable".
The real measurement of the success of the speech will be polling.
At the end of the day after the next Presidential debate? This convention will be forgotten. One goal of the convention was to fire up the people in attendance to go back to their states and get the ground game to get votes for DJT. It was the most united GOP convention in a LONG time, it was not our Grandpa's GOP convention, and they did a great job over the 4 days of outlining this Admin's complete failures, how successful DJT was on those issues while in office, and his goal to do it again. It was a great convention, the GOP is united, you have Libs over the last week self cancel themselves (so well deserved BTW), the Dims are in total disarray, and now the campaign really begins. The GOP has a candidate that clearly has no need to run for Prez other than the love of the country, willing to die for this country, and the bravery to lead with bullets being shot at his head.
