Key theme of the campaign: ‘None of this would be happening if Donald Trump were President’.

He loves the stage, can’t wait for the debates. Good narrative he’s pushing though...heavy on optimism for the country and support of law enforcement. Good themes to stick too if he wants a chance.

He loves holding court. He’s very different in debates. He gets very agitated and is easily riled. We’ll see how it unfolds, but I don’t think it will be a rally with a foil on the next podium.

Face it, you wouldn't like him if he had Roman candles shooting out his arse.
Was a good fireworks show...

“ This speech is the political equivalent of a CSA: You get a random box of whatever the farm decides to deliver that week, and inevitably it's a total grab bag. You don't recognize half the vegetables and the other half is just kale. But, you know, at least there's a lot of it.”

All of those Democrats living in DC have to be really pissed.

Q will have so much fun deciphering it.

Is it normal for incumbents to do their convention at the White House?

No it probably is illegal in practice but no one ever enforces the particular act.

Why would you ask that question? Quiz time where did Trump and the RNC want the convention?

It’s also not normal for there to be “political/convention fireworks on government property” which the liberal media liked to mention about 10 times in the minute after the speech ended, at least on the CBS channel i was watching last night.

CBS also started IMMEDIATELY saying that some claim of his was 'misleading'.

89 mention he could see the the fireworks, and I remembered I’ve usually seen these things in stadiums. But wasn’t sure.

Speech was too long and didn't have the typical Trump Fire throughout.
But if anybody needs a comparison, the Dems candidate delivered a canned, edited speech. Trump delivered a live speech with a bit of improvisation.

He was tired at the end, you could see it. But who wouldn't be?
I thought it touched on the topics that are winners for him really well. As I said, if he stays on message and doesn't get sidetracked down rabbit holes he should win. As nearly as I can see teh Democrats don't have a message other than we're not Trump.
