I really can't take this anymore, I think I need to stop paying attention.

This speech is so off the wall. It is the rantings of a paranoid person. Blaming everything on Hillary. I didn't know Hillary had so much power.

It is just a crazy bunch of crap. One stream of consciousness strung together with another. If he was giving this speech in a high school speech class he would get an F.

"It" lies, lies, lies ... when "it" makes a speech I'm going to wait for the talking heads to analyze it. They've been great at covering "it"s gaffes.

I thought I heard the delay was that this would be a scripted policy speech.

but he switches so much from his left to his right he must get dizzy....and since he can no longer focus on the teleprompters he goes on with his ranting instead.

because he is clanging on every available "the browns and blacks are stealing OUR country" bell there is.

"This is our chance, this is it, this is it, your last chance, this is our chance to take back all the power from all the people who have taken it from you, over so many years." - Donald J Trump, Aug 16, 2016.

Will he contradict himself tomorrow? Which trump are we listening to tonight? There is way too much uncertainty with this weirdo, for him to lead this country.

My blood pressure was rising at the Idiocy of his speech. Husband wanted to watch the train wreck. I just can't look at his ugly face and hear his ugly ignorant words anymore. November 9th can't happen soon enough.

die and engulf the Earth, and there's nowhere for anyone to run to because all the other stars are dying too. Makes me a little happier.

"Trump! Trump! Trump!"
"USA USA USA!!!"
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOO" whenever Big Orange mentions Hillary.

They cheer maniacally every time he pauses.

This hate-filled rant is even more evil than usual. He's really ginning them up.

On the other hand I don't think many of them will vote period or they will vote for one of the third parties.

Blacks have historically suffered worse economically during good times as well as bad times. Racism is the factor in all of this. Hillary has the right message that no matter what plans or policies anyone proposes or even get passed, unless the underlying racism and social injustice is addressed very little will change for the blacks and Hispanics at the lower end of the economic spectrum.

But the message that Democrats need to put out there is

1. President Obama could have done much more for all citizens, including AAs, had he had the cooperation and support of the GOP Congress and Senate.

2. No matter how imperfect or unrealized, civil rights and voting rights are products largely of Democratic policies and hard and thankless work.

3. The economy always does better for EVERYONE under Democrats...even Donald admitted this in an interview.

4. This election gives Democrats a chance to crush the GOP at every level from state houses to the House and Senate. GOTV and vote for every office and every ballot initiative.

5. And the message should be loud and clear to not allow the GOP and Trump to pit AAs against Hispanics and other immigrants but to rather join together to fight those who would have us fight each other.
