When he's held to reading, it's a tepid - dare I say "politically correct"? - version of the same endless assertions, personal attacks, and vapid claims of future "greatness" that he repeats in crazy-mode when he's not reading.
The talking heads will be hard put to find answers to the usual questions: 1) Did he do what he needed to? 2) So it was reading/tethered-down instead of crazy-town?
Everybody's waiting for the balloons and confetti.

Wow, he is just listing everything and claiming he will fix it immediately.

(10,952 posts)those who have not drunk the kool-aid just turn off the tv and go to bed. Most people don't have endless patience when somebody just blathers along without substance. I'll probably end up heading off to bed and catching tonight's Bill Maher on youtube tomorrow.

I wonder how many stations will cut him off in favor of the late night news?

He gives it pretty straight and he's been merciless

(135,425 posts)so the networks have time to LEAD with your story on the eleven o'clock news. The balloon drop was scheduled for about ten minutes to eleven, which would give the outlets time to copy the key bits and transfer them to their affiliates--he completely LOST an opportunity for a "free commercial" beamed to all those aggrieved, lower middle class, rural, white folks just getting by, those weary people sitting up in their beds, watching the news over their Over The Air Antenna TV. And those are the people he NEEDS to get to the polls.
Tomorrow, Hillary may just BIGFOOT all over his speech by announcing her nominee. And wouldn't that be a hoot!!!
All he needs is a teeny little MOOOOSE-stache, and he'd look just like .... well, never mind!
He also reminds me of DR RUTH--you know how she would POINT with her finger....and then do the CIRCLE with the finger and thumb?
This is just a low energy event--even with the screaming. It just seems unhinged and without purpose--and he's got the place as packed as it can be.
I can tell he really REALLY wants to go way off script, and it's killing him that he has to stick to a format. He's embellishing and he tripped himself up. Another opportunity lost!!!!

Melania looks like she's got her plagiarism dress on, with different sleeves.
Gee, I'd a thought she'd do a Cindy McCain, and dress for success, and not wear another "cheap" two thousand dollar wedding dress....LOL!
