Bill, and he did hit out of the park. Because this was a real drawback to former conventions where every Republican had a church or Jesus suck off. Stayed off the hot button topics and focused on the economy. That's all I want at this point.

if you came into last night hating Trump the speech probably did nothing to change minds
good rhetoric that should appeal to mushy squishy undecideds in the middle
“So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight: I’m With You, and I will fight for you, and I will win for you.
“To all Americans tonight, in all our cities and towns, I make this promise: We Will Make America Strong Again. We Will Make America Proud Again. We Will Make America Safe Again. And We Will Make America Great Again. I love you. God bless you.”

One understated move was Trump taking Hillarys #imwithher and turning it into #imwithyou
Very very slick. Subtle but powerful.

Also, how many people were senselessly murdered in Cleveland this week thanks to Kasich's refusal take the unconstitutional steps necessary to prevent people from exercising their rights?
I don't know why you went to the effort. The word you kept not saying is "filibuster". There is one number and that's 60. Invoking cloture. Under 60?Record number of filibusters. Why dance around Republican obstruction? Why not celebrate it since it was what you wanted?
Better believe many of us celebrated every single time the GOP blocked obamas awful agenda.
I missed the part in their speeches about gay rights, women's rights, etc.
This won't be the typical situation where the GOP loses on social issues. That should be terrifying
Was there a mass conversion last night to modernity on those issues? Really?
As for your first sentence, why did you go through the whole rigmarole previously where you listed the numbers in the Senate? Nobody stranger than people.

Your dancing banana guy is having fun, but I sure would like to know, if the new Republican Party is joining the 21st century, what took you so long?
Golf buddy of mine is a huge Democrat. Great guy and we love to jab at each other all the time (all in good fun). He calls me this morning and said he still cannot vote Trump but he is now not voting for Hilary. He has been on the fence about her, but said he simply cannot vote for her knowing how corrupt she is. Of course, I loved him telling me that I was right from the beginning about Trump.
To me, that is progress. Trump may not win over millions and millions of more votes, but if he can at least keep millions to stay home and not vote for Hilary he will win in a landslide.

So much for the Right last night and if you were paying attention it started with the Prayer. Trump definitely trying to move the Party in a different direction last night.
Well, at least the Republicans gained the insight needed to change rather than being the smug party who sniffs their own farts and drives Prius thinking their shit don't stink. There is so many flaws that dems won't admit that is absolutely disgusting. Walkign around clueless thinking they know what's best. Dems are the party of narcissistism as evidenced by the freedom of speech killing Millinials.
The GOP has to move in a different direction or they will never win the White House ever again.
For those thinking he should have been specific last night, why give away the gameplan before the game starts? No need to let the Dems attack that next week.
Absolutely. Can you imagine the DNC armed with it's liberal media moutbreathers manipulating headlines and hash tags if he went into specifics. At this point, I don't need any specifics. I'm handing trump the keys to this country and I'll do my shit and I'll let him do his shit.
Sooo, basically democrats dont have the intestinal fortitude or the passion behind their bills to outlast a filibuster? Got it.
8 years ago B. Hussein promised to halt the rise of the oceans in his acceptance speech. guess I missed all the media screaming that he did not lay out his specific proposals for making that happen?
Obama evolved on gay marriage in 2012 due to fundraising and this is HRC's first election favoring. Hush.
Is the Republican Party now the Democrat Lite Patry under Trump? Sure would make people in the House and Senate happy that have been trying to move away from the Right for years.
Yeah and blocking lead to two major waves of wins in congress and a historical shift across the country in statehouses. Liberals being dishonest whiney asses...yeah, the more things change atknot....
It was anyway, not sure why so many people keep ignoring the last two candidates were very centrist and Bush spent and expanded gov like a liberal.
when albany, deee and others said in 08 it was the end of the GOP, I told them their smugness would limit their run. It already has every other than the WH.
Very perceptive, imo. Definitely status quo in the Republican Party this year. Yawn. The real shake up is going on in the Democrat party this year....Tim Kaine gonna have to choke a bitch? Times are a changin'!
Your takes have been straight *fire* the last few days, please keep them up.
I'd love to give the party credit, but I cant. The establishment went down clawing kicking and screaming. It wasn't voluntary. But my guess is, after seeing the effects; this may become permanent. Hopefully
Need Morgan Freeman voiceover " It was at this moment he realized he @#$%$#@ up"
Well, Trump prodded them to change. Do you really think the whole party is going to change? Do you think NC Republicans are suddenly going to revoke their anti-gay bill? Do you think what's her name in Morehead will suddenly kiss the bride. But I can't say I was impressed. What the Trump speech sounded like to me was him saying, "Look, gays and women aren't the enemy. Brown skinned people are the enemy!" And the crowd loved it.
As for narcissism, I'll go with the guy who goes to sleep at night in a tower with his name on it.
That's it. You got it.
The proof is in the puddin'.
Whoa. Thanks.
What would have impressed me would have been Trump talking about the high water in Miami during king tides. And telling the Republicans that they had to stop denying that AGW was real. It doesn't make much sense to build a wall around the southern border only to let the ocean rise up and destroy Miami. Time matters in these things. Briefly, earlier in this record heat year, we were at 1.4C above the 19th century. This matters. It showed that climate sensitivity to a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere wasn't 1C -- as luke-warmers have asserted. At 2C, soils and seas will warm enough to outgas as much carbon as human activity produces. Meaning that we won't simply be able to go carbon-free to prevent disaster. We'll actively have to remove it from the atmosphere. The Republican Party in the 21st century shouldn't be known for denying 19th century science.
unfortunately you can't open your mind to anything other than having BO stick it in your puddin'.
David Axelrod pretty much called Obama a liar on gay rights.
Doesn't give a shit about the Black community and certainly didn't give a shit about the LGBT community.
In other words: President Donald Trump (R) won't even be able to make a ham sandwich --without MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, PBS, etc. doing a special report about how he's doing it wrong and somehow destroying the country, killing black people and LGBTQs, keeping women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, wiping his butt with the Constitution, and so on...
You liberals really don't understand business (in this case its called "branding") at all.
SMH...
He does love the ivory tower NYT/Vox crowd that love to see everything through the lens of American imperialism and believe any govt accountability is a defeat to progress.
I don't agree with anti-gay people. They'll change or they won't. I don't give two buckets of zombie piss if they do or not. The party will change and they will jump on board or they will find a new party.
As far as narcissism for Trump, yeah, it's there. At least he knows it. Unlike most democratic voters who absolutely have zero insight. Zilch. Dems walk around with their heads in the sand being offended by oxygen.
#OxygenIsRacist
I'll take a Trump Tower over a Clinton Foundation any day of the week.
If we're talking about people naming things after themselves, I'll take the guy who built the building over the gal who opened a bank account to accept bribes.
