Donald Trump Delivers Dark, Fear-Mongering RNC Speech 31
The paralysis of the federal government ever since Republicans won control of Congress in 2010 surely makes Trump’s intimations of one-man rule more appealing to some of the people whose voice he aspires to become.
After Trump attacked Heidi Cruz and insinuated that Rafael Cruz was somehow connected to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Texas senator said he would not “go like a servile puppy dog” and endorse the Republican nominee.
Mr Donald Trump is planning to sketch out a vision of a nation hovering on the brink of disaster as he presents himself as the only leader who can protect Americans and fix a suffering economy. The statement brought cheers from the members of the convention audience. By the reaction of the convention attendees tonight, it is clear they liked what they heard. He tells it like it is: unfiltered and direct. And it was clearly not your typical acceptance speech delivered by a not-so-typical GOP nominee.
Eric, Tiffany and Ivanka Trump each gave polished, personal and well-reasoned speeches, telling cute anecdotes about what it’s like to grow up as the child of a billionaire real-estate developer, unveiling the warmer side of the “You’re fired!” guy and adroitly making the case that Trump’s business experience is what America needs right now. So constitutional standard and just a wee bit of payback, then. “My message is that things have to change – and they have to change right now”.
The Republican nominee only glancingly reached out to voters other than the ones who led him to victory in the Republican primaries, who make up a much smaller proportion of the November electorate.
America, your choice: great again or same again?
With polls showing a tight race between Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the senator speaks of Trump’s unpredictable personality and penchant for launching fierce personal attacks, resulting in a party divide that was on full display in Cleveland.
Tonight’s speech is his guidepost for the road to November.
The 70-year-old NY businessman will use his speech to formally accept the Republican presidential nomination.
Mr Trump renewed his promise to “build a great border wall” along the frontier with Mexico and also said the United States should “immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism until such time as proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place”. He believes the overwhelming answer is “no”. Speakers who were meant to emphasize the need to create jobs, for example, were spread out over several nights, diluting what could have been a more forceful presentation of Republican goals on Tuesday, the night employment was supposed to be the theme.
Her effort to unbind delegates in a bid to unseat Trump failed this week. He has now set a new standard.
“It’s Thursday night, it’s Donald Trump giving that speech, the balloons coming down and people saying, ‘I can see him in the White House'”.
“He offered no real solutions to help working families get ahead or to keep our country safe, just more prejudice and paranoia”, he said. Trump promised to be a voice that will stand for them and against the corporate cronies who have fixed the system against them.
The Democratic National Convention begins Monday in Philadelphia.
While Trump cited an uptick in murders in major cities, overall crime is at near historic lows and the electorate is far more diverse than when Nixon’s made his appeal. The remarks, in an interview published online Wednesday by The New York Times, deviate from decades of American doctrine and seem to reject the 67-year-old alliance’s bedrock principle of collective defense.
“Whatever it takes”, says Rob Gleason, chairman of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania, another swing state.
