@BernieSanders
Trump: "I alone can fix this." Is this guy running for president or dictator?
Trump: “I alone can fix this.” Maybe he doesn’t understand that a president has to work with Congress. #RNCwithBernie

This is @realDonaldTrump broadening the base of the GOP. The inner city will no longer be neglected. They have suffered under Obama.

That wasn't a convention. It was something closer to a lynch mob. Republicans, you should hang your heads in shame.

I've heard this sort of speech a lot in the last 15 years and trust me, it doesn't sound any better in Russian.

Trump is addressing the real concerns of people ignored outside the Beltway by both parties. Elites find this "depressing," apparently.

This is the bleakest, darkest, most fascistic speech I've ever heard delivered by an American politician

Trump's speech wasn't a speech in the normal sense, with pace & rhythm & argument. It was a shouted series of assertions. Which might work.
