    so obviously he's a deranged narcissist who shouldn't be allowed anywhere within 100 miles of the White House and it's profound shame for our country that he has been nominated by a major political party

    all that said

    i don't think this doofus has what it takes to be the American Hitler

    So much negativity! Nothing uplifting from anyone since Cruz.

    This is like the 11th time a speaker at this convention has tried to give Obama's 2004 speech and failed miserably.

    it definitely feels long, since it lacks any kind of rhetorical structure or emotional arc

    I'll say this for Trump: He's convinced Republicans that government can fix everything.

    It's a preview of four years in office.

    It's amazing that it was long and boring AND not like bogged down with even an ounce of policy.

    His obsession with strength is terrifying. Always puts extra emphasis on the word.

    And if America will be free, and independent, and strong, it will have elected Hillary Clinton.

    A decent rhetorical flourish! 75 minutes in.

    I'm not gunna lie this speech started stronger than others of his I've heard, had me worried for a second, but this has just been a rambling recursive mess.

  • htmhtm Registered User regular
    Man, this speech is amazing. It's like... he totally forgot the few things that he does well. Most of the time, he's sort of funny in asshole way and at least sort of affable. This shit is just... grim.

  • enlightenedbumenlightenedbum Registered User regular
    And with that, bring on the competent people!

    Okay...so it only took an hour for one good thing to be said. The whole "I'm with you" thing was actually good. It's a shame it took so long to say just one thing that makes sense.

    Isn't the customary close for this kind of thing "and God bless the United States of America?"

    He fucking forgot the god bless America. That's Republican presidential speech 101.

    Nixon's acceptance speech in 1968 was more hopeful. Think about that.

    Not voting Clinton is treason and should be punishable.
