Trump's Convention...Pretty Great So Far

[Green Arrow]

I don't like Trump, but I gotta hand it to him...so far, he's put together a politically brilliant convention. It's a solid strategy and he pretty brilliantly drew the Clinton campaign into a trap.

[Cigar]

:grin: Enjoying it myself

Do we need 3 threads about it? Now i have to try to read all 3. ;)

Come on let them have a couple days of Excitement before Hillary Drops Da-Boom on them :grin:

Seriously though, Trump's convention strategy is brilliant. The first night addresses exactly what is most prominently on Americans' minds right now: national security. The theme is "Make America Safe Again," which is both catchy and modeled after Trump's overall campaign slogan, Make America Great Again. He trots out the mother of one of the Benghazi victims and the two guys that wrote the 13 Hours book to tell a very emotional story about Benghazi and tore Hillary a new one. Then he brings out the father and sister of a slain border patrol agent, the mother of a slain cop, and the father and mother of two slain citizens to tell emotional stories about illegal immigrants and the crimes they allegedly commit.

The emotionalism is stark and motivating, if you're easy to sway by emotion. And the Democrats are giving it even more publicity with their "counter convention." Bait, set, match.

[Tahuyaman]

Trump's wife seems to be a fairly intelligent woman. Smart and easy to look at. Ok....

[Bethere]

I enjoyed her speech better the first time I heard it in 2008.

Kind of true, but we will talk instead of plagiarism, low staffing levels, and bad campaign management.

Community organizing is harder than it looks.

That comment seems to have been overlooked. Nothing screams flattery like plagiarizing the speech from a first lady, in which your husband tried so hard to take down.

[Peter1469]

They hit on the topics Americans want to hear about, national security, rule of law. The DNC won't cover either much when they hold their convention.

That is exactly what politics is, one big dog and pony show. The concern over "national security" will be used by both supposed parties to infringe our rights and make constant war. In other words get ready for Bushbama 2.0

Literally almost word for word what Obama's speech was.

If it was an accident, how did no one on their staff catch it?

Was it planted deliberately? It was a wonderful speech and the media needs something to attack.

[Cigar]

So who is the liar now?The Trump campaign is flat out lying about this speech.

As far as I know intent doesn't matter with plagiarism.

Regardless, plagiarism isn't the topic. Please stay on topic.

That's exactly what the media is trying to do. Last night's theme was partially Clinton's lying, so now the media tries to change the topic to Melenia. It was pathetic on CNN this morning.

I just call it like it is. You want civil? Then you reign in these trashy liberals that all they do is insult people.

His campaign organized it. They decide who speaks and in what slot, and the theme.

I wouldn't describe it as brilliant, it's more like striking oil in your backyard while digging for fools gold. The way many of the speakers were talking reminded me of when some of my friends parents would try to be funny or relatable but instead came off as awkward and trite. It was basically just a who's who of minor celebrities and politicians speaking about Clinton and everything except really for the topic of the night, which was making America safe again, with bad music mixed in in-between. Im not sure there really was a strategy from the Trump campaign, there was more of one from the GOP that was noticeable at least, and in my opinion that first day was just a cluster with no rhyme or reason.

Unity? Didn't a states delegation walk out? Didn't hundreds of people become irate when they were ignored by the gavel? Did all of those people that said they wouldnt attend magically appear?

The actions of both major parties has proved they have little interest in what the general public thinks. Super delegates, refusing to acknowledge those who disagree with the party isn't allowed. The best we can hope for is that it will produce changes in the future because this year is a lost cause. I'm hoping we will see a change in the 2 party election system.

[Green Arrow]

Im not sure there really was a strategy from the Trump campaign, there was more of one from the GOP that was noticeable at least, and in my opinion that first day was just a cluster with no rhyme or reason.

I'm looking at it purely from a political strategist standpoint. From that perspective it's pretty great. Nobody cares who the speakers are or the musicians are. What people look for from these conventions is pure, political raw meat, and Trump gave it to them in spades. The DNC decided to do a "counter convention" to refute every "lie" told about Hillary, so they were basically giving free publicity to the convention. Then the speakers come out, families of slain soldiers and cops and just plain old citizens, condemning the policies of the current administration and Hillary Clinton in particular.

All the Democrats can do is either let the criticism slide, find a way to refute it without attacking the speakers, or attack the speakers. Attack the speakers, particularly the emotional speech given by the mother of one of the men killed in Benghazi, and you make yourself look bad.

Change up the words a bit and replace the king with Donald Trump/Hillary Clinton and the revolutionaries with those that oppose them and it's a video about this election cycle.

I dont think a change is needed in the two party system itself. What's needed is a change in who's running at least one of these two major parties which shows a clear difference in philosophy between the two. Dumb and dumber is not an acceptable choice.

Democrats are who they are. They are an amalgamation of every far left fringe element or perceived victim group in America. The Republicans are trying to mimic that and attempting to be everything to everyone.

All 58 words?

yes, it's pathetic to make people accountable for their actions

lol

I am all for it Prosecute her for those 58 words, and Hillary for perjury for lying to congress.

Solves all of our problems I am sure that Trump will be happy to pay her fine.

[zelmo1234]

Next week the main theme will be Trump is not fit for the office.

After all, what can they really talk about?

The Economy Nope they are in charge and it is in the shitter

The Wars and Middle East. Nope Hillary set the policies in place created ISIS

Race? They can't even talk about this because they are responsible for the race riots.

Bait, set, match.You are easily impressed. Virtually every opinion on the major media talking heads is panning it as a disaster. I watched the beginning where the typical republican "method" stopped any discussion from the anti-Trump delegates.

No, I've listened to her speak in the past. She seems quite intelligent.

I know guys like you are intimidated by intelligent women. More so if that intelligent woman is also attractive. Maybe that's one reason you are so drawn to Hillary Clinton?

Is that not the Truth. They claim the party of Women, but let a Women disagree with the agenda, and see how they feel about them.

[MisterVeritis]

I began watching the Republican National Convention on Fox News. After they cut away from the speakers to analyze I changed to C-Span where I watched until it closed. Each speaker drew me in. The only one I had difficulty with was LTG Flynn. I believe he was trying too hard. He was yelling when he should have used a loud speaking voice.

But I watched it until it closed.

And the typical method for anti-Bernie forces is to deny them a permit, and to eliminate his threat with super-delegates.

You got nothing, Emperor.

She was smart enough to to know it was illegal and that she needed to lie about it.

Of course the pundits in the media are calling it a disaster. That narrative was written before she uttered a word. By the end of the convention they will be portraying her as the combination of Marge Schott and
Leona Helmsley.
