It seemed like Trump totally bombed at the NRA - (CPAC TV Production Values)

He was more off script than on - and the applause he received wasn't rally-like.

A few times it seemed like he was waiting for applause - and there was none.

He had no central theme at all - he was like 20 minutes in and "oh yeah guns..."

All he had to do was 10 minutes of solid 2nd Amendment-isms with some bumpers of "how great I am"- and he's out of there.

Maybe conventioneers are a different demographic than rally-ers? Dare I say - a "smarter" group?

And for TV - this had the same creepy production value that that CPAC had.

I think they must put the media in the back to express their displeasure with them.

The result is - all the camera shots are heavily zoomed - not really lit for TV - and look generally creepy.

And they had the audio feed with an out-of sync delay - that created a weird echo.

They didnt fix that until 2/3 of the way though speech.

Overall - I thought this was one of Trumps weakest moments.

To add testimony - look at this FreeRepublic Thread about the speech...

Barely 40 posts before they start whining about Shepard Smith.

Most Trump speech threads get a something closer to 200 comments over there...this was odd - and at the NRA too!
