For what this is supposed to be, it's perfectly fine. I'm so glad he's a racist fuck because had he been able to moderate, he could have been damn dangerous.

Just give him the oval office already, this shit is ether. Hillary acted herself a fool in her speech, this is much sharper talk.

he knows all the words

Yup. No matter how much he tries to shimmy over to a general election message, he's already rung multiple bells that can't be un-rung.
 
This crowd... seems like it actually wants to like Trump? That's unexpected.

Trump with teleprompters looks sorta silly. And he didn't write a word of this, nor does he understand a word of it. But he's faking it pretty well, all things considered, given this is about as far out of his wheelhouse as you could possibly get. Ooh, and whoever wrote this tied in classic Trumpisms like "deals"! Give this person a raise.

Considering expectations of a black hole appearing on stage once he began speaking, he's fucking killing it here. Goddamn. Sounds fake as hell, mind you, but no more or less than anyone else. Adding the Trump cadence to canned speeches seems to work, too, I guess.

Trump is a charismatic fuck. These people came in wanting to hate this, and they're loving these talking points.

Hillary wishes she was this charismatic

This is baby games for him, bouncing off the teleprompter like he is

Gg, the GE is already over

this is terrifyingly good. no one should take this election for granted
He has shown himself to be really good when he's rehearsed and when other people write the script for him. When he's off script or put in a tricky situation, he stumbles.

Why is no one asking the kinds of questions that really matter to americans?

For example, which candidate will help make steaks available at the Sharper Image again?
 
This is typical Trump bluster, but it's delivered without racist shit. It makes it seem so much better. Had he not done some of the shit he's pulled he could have been damn dangerous. too many things have been done and said, though. As long as he doesn't have to go off script, he can deliver a decent enough speech.
 
YES THIS IS THE PART WHERE HE GOES FULL TRUMP

EDIT: Awww, well that was short. And lacking in a lot of substance. And completely at odds with what he hold the Washington Post earlier.

My verdict:
For the GOP primary race, he has checked this box. Almost like he treated it as a must-pass test of some sorts. He will benefit from the soft bigotry of low expectations.

For the general, none of the fundamentals have changed.

Trump killed it.
If he can pull that off at once a day for a couple months he definitely has a chance. The US electorate has an incredibly small memory and attention span.

No one is panicking here, just saying not to take him lightly.

He can stand up and recite a good canned speech. That's often good enough. If not for his previous rhetoric, he'd stand a much better chance in the general and if he keeps it up, he could persuade a lot of low-info voters.

Dems need to capitalize on that past shit right now.
 
Trump can't keep that shit up, because he refuses to stay on script 99% of the time. He was fed those lines. In a debate, or a one-on-one, he won't have all of those facts at hand. The media will try to throw him under the bus and make him look like an idiot constantly.

The hateful, racist, sexist shit will not be forgotten. The DNC will make sure of that.

FOR FUCK'S SAKE CNN

"Trump showed political maturity with this speech."

1.5lbs of shit as opposed to 2.0lbs of shit IS STILL SHIT

re: AIPAC

@ggreenwald
That was a good response to those who think Trump can't moderate & transform for the General Election: total pandering & shape-shifting

How? This is absolutely part of the course and everything that he's been doing thus far. It's not about if he can "transform" for the GE, it's if he can get away with her. As we already know time and time again with 12, 08, 04, and 00, you can't.

Why is he so fucking dumb when it comes to punditry.
