shouldn't America be more concerned figuring out wtf the guy actually stands for than if he has lazy speechwriters ?
Did Melanie Trump copy Michelle Obama's speech?
- Thread starter The Midnight
- Start date
What he stands for should be a non-starter considering the **** he has gone on record saying. Who gives a **** what he stands for, the guy is a pig. The fact that there isn't more outrage about this pig means that we are going down as a country, I don't know how else to view it. BTW I feel nearly the same about Hillary.
Heh

Good little sheep saying baaa when prompted by your media gods..
By the way, I realize most of you dont like facts at all, but the speech Michele gave was in big part copied from a Hitler speech given in '44 I believe. Exact same words that Michele and Melania used. Same phrasing, same words...been said by tons of politicians over the years. Look it up, Michele cribbed from Hitler...well done...but hey, lets be sheep and spout nonsense cuz its hip.

I do think some of his outrageous statements were made to keep him on the front page. He got millions of dollars in free press by that tactic. It kept him the leading story at a time when there were over a dozen candidates on the GOP side of the primaries. I think as a denizen of reality TV, he knew he could dominate the debates, which he must have realized were simply badly acted reality TV to begin with. I do believe he knew how to keep himself front and center. He manipulated the media like no other. He must have known they would go for his entertainment value and not act as a watchdog for the electorate.
I'm not sure any press is good press, even if he believes as much. Not sure the snub Cruz delivered last night is good press.

Really? Maybe it was a brilliant move on Trump's part. I watched the convention at my dad's house on NBC. It was amazing how manipulative the network was of the message the campaign was trying to convey. For example, they cut out of Gingrich's speech in the middle and went into a diatribe on how negative he was. It seems to me like they should have allowed him to communicate his own message to America rather than censoring him and replacing it with what they thought of his message.
After Pence's speech the commentator said something like, "Well, that was sure a disapointment. This convention is a complete mess. Trump and Pence didn't even hold hands and raise them above their heads and walk back and forth on the stage like you're supposed to do at a convention." Seriously? It will be interesting to see whether they cut off any of the keynote speeches at the DNC. I'm sure they will be thrilled when the candidates hold hands and walk back and forth after the VP speech because it's hard to imagine anyone could successfully lead the country if they don't do that.
So why was the Cruz moment a brilliant move on Trump's part? Because it's going to amp up the ratings for Trump's speech tonight to huge numbers, and there's no way NBC (or any media) will be able to cut away in the middle. I'll bet 100% of Ivanka's speech and Donald's speech are broadcast with almost no opportunity for the talking heads to attempt to diminish their message midstream. This was already going to be his biggest moment, by far, and the events that have led up to it are going to make it even bigger. It's going to be fascinating to see what happens tonight.

I just watched the rest of the speech online. I thought it was excellent. NBC's bias is obvious. Many of those who agree with their position deny that such a bias exists. Rep to you for being an exception, and for having the guts to admit that your TV can be tuned to Fox without melting into a disgusting pile of goo.

[MENTION=578]franklin[/MENTION], Lol, just catching on, my first reaction having been "what caliber?" I'm not an alt, assuming that's what you mean. In fact, I never heard of the concept before signing on this forum. I frequent a lot of various forums, and never ran into the concept or usage of same before. I can see where it might be fun, for all involved. And I'm sure I've let it go over my head when replying at times. I've just never personally tried it.
I noted with interest that Cruz said he told Trump 3 days ago that he was not going to endorse him. So it can be said Trump did let Cruz have that moment. On purpose. And then put the spotlight on himself entering the arena. Another attention fix and good TV.

Yes, I'm just realizing this. Having, among other clues, seen Cruz cited as having said he told Trump 3 days ago that he would not be endorsing him. As well, for me, this fits the narrative provided by the ghostwriter of "The Art of the Deal", in an article posted by str8line in the "who do you call for President?" thread, in which he noted the basic need of Trump to have a lot of attention focused on him. Making his entry as Cruz was ending very theatric/dramatic. So yeah, I guess I still need to learn not to put anything past his ability to master the media. That is what he has done from the day he first descended that escalator in Trump Tower and made the whole show about him. And the media has been very complicit. Having for the most part devoured the offer he deliberately presented of entertainment for the masses and blessed ratings. With a few acting like the watchdog for the electorate that some believe is the actual function of the press.
