that we're screwed

The speech will invigorate the already angry.

But I know he must be smart at something...
It's just really bad for America

And that it can be a dangerous thing. But I'll rather it be a thing then not exist at all.

No, I don't like Trump nor want him to win the WH, but I respect democracy and choice.

I too respect democracy and choice. If we could only clean up the voting
process so that real democracy--one person, one vote--can prevail....

The US Spreme Court annoited Bush Jr, not the American people. Republicans routinely gerrymander districts to preserve their districts. Republicans routinely pass legislation that exists for the sole purpose of denying peple the right to vote.

I'm good.

I haven't seen a single Trump rally, speech, interview, etc.

Life is better this way.

I will turn in to the post speech reaction. I have zero interest in listening to a man who gets just about everything wrong.

I can't actually bring myself to watch it so I thought it would be better to read reactions online. Has the audience taken up pitch forks yet?

Wheelbarrows of adoration which will soon carry dollars.

work our asses off.

support our candidates.

I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that but still doesn't say how he's going to it.

That Ivanka was talking about. He sounded like such a great guy.

If only 'that' guy existed I'd probably vote for him - he sure sounded like a Democrat to me.

All that equality for women and minorities - very impressive!

We have to avert the disaster that is Trump

a bad syfy movie

Terribly grating voice and can't deliver with mannerisms/faciial expressions at all. We are in huge trouble if he gets elected.

I thought this is what Germany wouldve been like in the 40's if they had TV.

About his message. We better not sleep on this dude.

this guy will have classified information. I'd rather my random plumber, or housekeeper, get that information.

Terrified doesn't begin to express my dismay.

The twisting of words to make evil appear as good.

Now he sounds like the fool he is.

that there's not enough idiots in this country.....

Speaking from both sides of his mouth

the rise of the Third Reich.

except that the ladder has broken rungs on Trump's American side.

That is a preposterous statement.

This is an actor yelling lines from a teleprompter that he neither wrote nor believes.

He has no interest in governing the United States. He just wants to win. To beat everyone. To be loved. To build his brand.

The fact that anyone supports him speaks to the fear and ignorance plaguing this country and much of the world.

that does for me. The glassy-eyed followers who would let him shove them off a cliff. He could easily whip them into such a frenzy that they'd kill for him.

And of course, he doesn't want to do anything but gather in the power and attention.

I just don't like always going to Hitler.

Watching the rnc i just cannot get the image out of my head...invasion of the body snatchers...for those of you old enough to remember that old movie...about a community whose members were slowly churned into aliens that otherwise looked exactly the same by day, but had their bodies overtaken during the night, except for this one fellow who resisted sleeping. I do wonder which one of us that will be.

Trump is still speaking and I am trying to put myself into the position of an average uninformed American and can kind of see how they would eat this shit up. I am starting to get worried.

Keep fighting the good fight in Zion. It is a beautiful part of the country. We need more liberal activists out there.

I love Utah, but I'd say 80 percent everyone I know is a wingnut out here so I do get frustrated.

A great progressive western city, like Denver or Portland.

I also heard--and maybe this is wrong--that there are a couple cities on the edge of the Wasatch Mountains, Holladay and Cottonwood Heights, that are more liberal. And Summit County (the Park City area) is supposed to be progressive.

But the rest of the state is definitely hard-core Republican. I imagine it is difficult being a liberal Democrat out there, especially given how aggressive Republicans become when they are in the overwhelming majority.

If it is OK, can I ask which part of Utah you live in?

and Park city is too, but I grew up in Sandy which is extremely conservative. I now live in Salt Lake county in Kearns which has a l fairly diverse population that can go either way in local elections.

barely an applause.

This country is so far gone that the media will just accept this as a normal speech and not something from a fascist.

Never have I feared for our country more than now.

Shameful.

What is the percentage of lies in this speech?

but this might be a good reference.

With the GOP front-runner scooping up delegates in a march toward the Republican nomination, POLITICO subjected a week’s worth of his words to our magazine’s fact-checking process. We chronicled 4.6 hours of stump speeches and press conferences, from a rally in Concord, N.C., on Monday to a rally on Friday in St. Louis.

The result: more than five dozen statements deemed mischaracterizations, exaggerations, or simply false – the kind of stuff that would have been stripped from one of our stories, or made the whole thing worthy of the spike. It equates to roughly one misstatement every five minutes on average.

reach where he is now!

Religious extremists are his base

Calling all Catholics

Trump is "hope we can kill people who won't change".

Just like he always does with every deal he makes.

Don the Con is a master performer, I just hope enough people can see through it. I muted him for a bit and watched his body language - as much as I hate comparisons to Hitler, Don has obviously studied him.

to say very little. No substance, no policy, nothing exciting.

hard to believe that they gave permission for their song to be used

That's all I can figure

The facial expressions and the body language.

Everything about the speech was deeply disturbing and sent a chill down my spine. The tone, the content, Trumps mannerisms, the distant look of apathy on his 10 year olds child who didn't even break a smile ONCE with thousands of balloons falling around him. It was an incredibly dark speech/ moment. Trump cannot get close to the white house.

what a belligerent fucking ignorant asshole. I felt like I was in Nuremburg during the 30's

It serves no one any good.
