    That "and I'm not sure I totally deserve it" ad lib was the most genuine thing I think I've ever heard Trump say.

    This speech needed a competent editor.

    New York has a little tradition of electing carpetbaggers to the senate.

    He tweeted this right as the speech ended.

    And then quickly deleted it.

    But, yeah.

    I think this was a disaster for Trump's chances.



    He did nothing to help him.

    The best thing he did for himself was go so long that maybe nobody watched the whole thing.

    "You can't always get what you want."

    He won't.

    Kind of funny closing the Republican Convention with "You Can't Always Get What You Want".

    I don't. If I did, I'd have issues with every human being who ever declared him or herself a candidate. Besides, she did represent the state for the time she was a Senator.

    So, she gave it more thought than the guys who woke up one morning and decided they wanted to be POTUS... I dont understand why you see that level of deliberation and preparation as a negative, but everybody's got one.

    I'll take your word.

    Well, you saw one more "egregious" but well-concealed example, then.

    Just one more post... what persona do you think HRC should adopt that would lead to a successful presidential election?

    All partisanship aside, that was a horrible speech in both content and delivery.
    Perhaps the most negative I have ever heard since I have been watching conventions.

    I don't think she's got one. If she's going to be successful come November I think it will be more of a case of Drumpf being a total asshat then her being a great campaigner or her enunciating a great policy vision for America.

    I fear her presidency is going to be dead on arrival. I know several Republicans who were kind of embarrassed and sheepish when McConnell claimed that the most important thing for Republicans to do was to ensure that Obama's was a single-term presidency. Most will not be so embarrassed about declaring that Hillary needs to be a one-term president.

    Then she (and we) are better off with her being... cynical.

    I watched zero minutes of the convention. Anyone care to give me the rundown of the good, the bad, and the ugliest speeches so I know what is worth going back and taking a look at?

    Just watch Trump's speech.

    It's punishment enough.

    And it's emblematic of the entire convention.
