i love that the narrative is that people now expect trump to negotiate on behalf of the US before he even becomes president.
Well, he's been talking a big game, people are looking to see if he can walk the walk.
it was a solid step-step speech. Not every point can be absolutely clear -some of each 10 steps depend on how the prior steps go.He's always been capable of it.
I think it was back in the Spring when Trump went to speak in front of AIPAC---a potentially hostile environment. And he not only got out of it without tripping over himself but it was actually a really good speech that got accolades from some of the liberal Jews in the audience.
And I think it was the first time he used the TelePrompTer.
His many partisan or ideological critics will never admit it, but there's an upside with Trump that is totally non-existent with Hillary. It's one of the reasons I've stuck with him [that and The Disaster in Waiting on the otherside] through his many gaffes and missteps.
I was wrong, I thought he was going to capitulate. Instead he doubled down.
It will be interesting how it plays, not sure vote wise which would have been smarter.

But it is a very clear outline, much better then I've heard from anyone.
To hear his speech the only problem the country is facing is illegal immigration.
Maybe he can pick up enough non-base votes
he currently leads Hillary among independents in Ohio by 17 points.....
and is still gaining!
Trump is building a very strong base, but I don't see how that helps him in the election since the base is clearly a minority of voters.
Maybe he can pick up enough non-base votes, but I don't see how a speech like that helps him do it.
but if he said something else you will say he betrayed his base
cant win with you :3
I would have, that's the position he's put himself in, no win unless voters have short memory or are very flexible.
I heard on the news last night that Donald Trump is heading to Mexico today to make nice with their president. The Donald Trump apology tour start even before he gets elected.
i mentioned this in another site but trump is acting like the president already lol. Visits to head of states, louisiana relief, big speeches. while hillary is hiding![]()
