Trump’s Speech: A Disorganized Talk With Many Choice Lines ( John Merline – Investor’s Daily)
“Organizationally, Donald Trump’s acceptance speech at the GOP convention was a mess. It felt as though a pro wrote the opening, then Donald took over. The difference was a powerful start, followed by Trump-style stream of thought. The speech didn’t have a clear flow and spread points over various diversions.” (But then the writer cites those many memorable lines…”disorganized” or not.)
In Cleveland, the GOP’s ‘come-to-Trump moment’ Byron York, Washington Examiner
“There’s always been a disconnect between what pundits and political insiders hear when Donald Trump speaks and what rank-and-file Republicans hear. But when Trump gave his acceptance address on the last night of the GOP convention here in Cleveland Thursday night, the opinion gap was absolutely vast.
“To the critics offering first opinions on Twitter, Trump’s 75-minute speech was dark, angry, bigoted, fear-mongering, deceitful and more. And to the thousands of Republicans in the room at the Quicken Loans Arena, it was … great.”

“Now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom. This is a distraction from our real problems. Who cares?” GOP convention speaker, Peter Thiel, gay billionaire
“The crowd erupted with a standing ovation that turned into a short chant of “USA! USA! USA!”
I do, however, agree with the suggestion that “who gets to use which bathroom” should not be “the great debate”. Males use the “men’s/boy’s”public restroom, females use the “women’s/girl’s”. “Confusion” about one’s gender should be treated as any other mental or emotional disorder, compassionately and realistically.
