That was some serious clappage

 

[Revolver]

[echoshifting]

Ahhhh HERE we go. THE WORLD. MESS.

 

[Malleymal]

this is the only guy that actually makes me give a single f about donald .....

seriously.. out of all the speakers... this guy

 

[mlclmtckr]

What the fuck is this necklace metaphor

Why do people think this is a good speech

 

[TheAbsolution]

Is his mic going out for anyone else?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I feel like he should reach into his pocket and hand me hard candy for listening to his stories.

 

[Big Green Anus]

He such a good speaker and so inspirational

 

[Rebel Leader]

Ivanka's up next right?

before or after the salad?

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

decent

 

[Mimosa97]

This guy is a good speaker but it's impossible to empathize with the principal character of his stories so yeah that was boring.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Bring back the circus lady!

 

[Vire]

Ya losing me with this necklace shit.

 

[Omadahl]

I feel like he should reach into his pocket and hand me hard candy for listening to his stories.

Oh man I love me some ribbon candy.

 

[Ferrio]

What the fuck is this necklace metaphor

Why do people think this is a good speech

First time someone actually humanized him somewhat.

 

[h1nch]

Is his mic going out for anyone else?

Yup. Watching the CNN feed.

 

[NullPointer]

That was a lot of words, well spoken, amounting to huh?

He could've been reading the side of a cereal box for all I could tell.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

to bill brasky

 

[The Chosen One]

Wish he was my grampa. He's a natural speaker.

His stories aren't the greatest but he's pleasant to listen to. And yeah it's great to see someone speak naturally without a teleprompter.

EDIT: But just like a grandpa, the stories don't really go anywhere, :lol

 

[petethepanda]

Jesus, this song is really something lol

 

[Ether_Snake]

Oh, the logo is half a guitar - I thought it was an otter looking at an elephant.

I thought so too. I thought maybe Connecticut or wherever this is has an otter as its symbol.

 

[Krejlooc]

I hope Madison Rising shows up

 

[vypek]

Ivanka caesar salad is next.

 

[thestopsign]

This guy is a good speaker but it's impossible to empathize with the principal character of his stories so yeah that was boring.

That's exactly how I ended up feeling by the time he finished.

 

[Lkr]

this make america great again song is the best thing i've heard

 

[echoshifting]

What the fuck is this necklace metaphor

Why do people think this is a good speech

I was bored out of my mind, but in fairness he had a very soothing voice, an easy style and he didn't barf hate all over the stage. So I can see why some found him appealing.

 

[RoKKeR]

Lmao WHAT

 

[Mimosa97]

JEEEEZUS TAKES THE WHEEEEEEEEL

 

[Jawbreaker]

Holy shit, this song. Haha.

 

[LittleBoots]

This song sounds like it would've been perfect in Team America.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Campaign song?

 

[Officerrob]

Barrack is a natural public speaker, but that kinda went nowhere

 

[Rebel Leader]

JEEEEZUS TAKES THE WHEEEEEEEEL

"No thanks"

 

[Smiley90]

JEEEEZUS TAKES THE WHEEEEEEEEL

:lol

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

This song. Sweet praline Jesus

 

[mlclmtckr]

It's kind of amazing how bad these people are at clapping to the beat

 

[Vire]

He's got his own god damn theme song now?

 

[Emarv]

The main chant this week has been "Lock her up". I'm curious what Trump says off the cuff if the crowd starts chanting that again.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Another Ford commercial.

 

[echoshifting]

Did the Donald write these songs

 

[Jawbreaker]

This song sounds like it would've been perfect in Team America.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

This is so embarrassing.

 

[Mimosa97]

That's exactly how I ended up feeling by the time he finished.

I guess you don't like anchovis in your salad

 

[Trojan]

That speech was from your crazy drunk uncle making a toast at the family reunion and calling you the wrong name.

 

[Speely]

This could be a South Park song without changing a word.

 

[Valus]

Just tuned in, did I miss Trump's speech? Was it just like the leak? Anyone else speak?

 

[Omadahl]

It's kind of amazing how bad these people are at clapping to the beat

It's like Steve Martin at the beginning of The Jerk.

 

[Captin Quacker]

why is he pointing at himself?

 

[Father_Brain]

wtf was that necklace analogy

wtf is this song

 

[Erevador]

He thinks giving women the right to vote ruined democracy. I can never use the words admire with him

I've read some questionable quotes by him, but I'm not aware that he ever said women's voting rights ruined democracy. When did he say that?

He didn't.

That's obviously a distortion of what he wrote. Thiel is eccentric, but to paint him that way is completely dishonest. He was suggesting that women have tended to vote against Libertarian politics, which is not untrue. It is also true that women (at this point) tend not to vote Republican. These are observations about voting patterns, and obviously not some kind of statement that it was wrong to give women the vote.

Thiel is an original, and deeply eccentric thinker. He doesn't tend to talk or write in soundbites. His book Zero to One is one of the best business books written in recent years. He's an innovative and legitimately brilliant mind and a true force in the American economy... everything Trump is not.

Every single person on this Republican stage so far has been a total embarrassment, except Thiel.
