Trump speaking. It's a laughable, stupid speech to tepid response.

[nolabear]

Nothing new, typical lies and generalities and the only thing remotely interesting was the protester disruption. I'm thinking protests should stop, so people will quit listening to him entirely. He's got nothing. Absolutely nothing.

1. I take it back. He's swiping at the Clinton Foundation and using Bernie's accusations to do it.

I'm glad. Bernie will, I think, close that down.

2. Trump should not be talking about foundations.

He has a lot of exposure with the Trump Foundation committing a "clerical error" and giving a campaign donation.....

[nolabear]

3. I KNOW, right? He can't call any kettles any colors and get away with it.

4. He's busting out a lot of 2012 talking points

my husband (who is non political) said he'd be drunk if "radical Islam" and "believe me" were a drinking game.

[nolabear]

5. It was a snooze, and he won't be able to stand that. He'll bite the head off a chicken or something.

[tallahasseedem]

7. Maybe he and Ozzy can...

get together and bite bat heads, LOL!

[Atman]

6. Obviously very calm and coached.

Lots of hecklers...Trump having a difficult time not yelling "Throw 'em out!" as people continue to interrupt his b.s. He did fall back to his "Crooked Hillary" line, to lots of cheers (which he wallowed in), but this is pretty mellow compared to most Trump rants.

9. Not a carnival pitch man in the world who can stand that kind of scripting.

My bet is that if the GOP pushes him in that direction he'll start going off in interviews and tweets and every other venue he can get. If the Democratic Party and Hillary and surrogates are smart they'll form, as we say in Seattle, The Legion of Boom. He shouldn't have a quiet moment.

14. It looked like he was using a telepromter

[patricia92243]

8. I wonder what on earth Ryan, etc said to him to get him to at least try to

toe the line. Him reading the teleprompter was almost funny it was so bad. And of course the speech itself didn't sound remotely like anything he would say.

I still don't think he is able to stick to it - especially in a one-on-one interview. He will eventually revert back to himself - a lose cannon. He will not be able to not brag on himself, condemn others, and therefore stick his foot in his mouth again.

10. Don't you wish you knew what they were doing to try to corral him?

Omarosa may be tied up in a closet somewhere.

13. Everyone who did his show accepted work from a known racist. All those 'celebrities' and also

NBC, the people who watched it and all who presented the racist predator Trump as a legitimate member of society need to explain themselves. Trump's bigotry was never a secret, his corruption never unknown.

12. One would think that, if they're going to make him read a text,

an effort would be made to write a text to fit his normal cadence.

Then again, I guess a speechwriter would get tired of writing variations on "I'm the best" over and over again.

[TeamPooka]

15. You asking people to write at a 3rd grade level. That's hard if you are actually educated.

[nyquil_man]

16. Maybe he should write his own speeches.

Somebody get this man a gold Sharpie. (How much do you wanna bet he holds it in his fist and sticks his tongue out while writing?)

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. He won't get any press a acting civilized.

He got coverage by being outrageous.
