Donald Trump tonight formally accepted the Republican Party’s presidential nomination and then proceeded to give one of the longest acceptance speeches in presidential politics… 1 hour, 16 mins.
For those who did not see the speech or stopped watching during the marathon oration, here is a brief sampling:
Trump: “We will make American strong again”
Crowd: “USA … USA … USA!”
Trump: “We will make America proud again”
Crowd: “USA … USA … USA!”
Trump: “We will make America safe again.”
Crowd: “USA … USA … USA!”
Trump: “We will make America great again!”
Crowd: “USA … USA … USA!”
Trump’s speech was well received by the large crowd inside the Quicken Loans Area in Cleveland, Ohio.
Said one Trump supporter, “I was very impressed by his speech. He touched on all the points that are near and dear to me.”
Another Trump backer stated he was looking forward to winning again, especially the war on Terror, “I liked that he said we will defeat ISIS and very fast.”
Creating jobs is a big concern for all Americans. Trump promised if elected, “I am going to bring our jobs back to America.”
On immigration, Trump pledged to build his big wall along our southern border. “We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities,” said the Republican nominee.
While Trump’s speech was well received inside the convention hall, political pundits were quick to attack it.
Most analysts complained that while Trump promised to fix everything, he was very short on specifics … even for an address that was the longest acceptance speech in the past four decades, eclipsing a mark once held by … wait, Bill Clinton!

Has there ever been an acceptance speech so long, with so little?
Kinda reminds you of that old Burger King commercial: “Where’s the Beef!”
With all the USA! USA! USA!, I thought I was watching the Olympics!
What I don’t understand is that if America is in decline, like Trump says, what about that whole Republican American exceptionalism thing?
He had a very low bar to hurdle. His red meat speech played to the base. No specifics is his stock in trade. Anybody fact check his “facts”?
Yes, his sheeple just ate it up… “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
