I think Melania was actually a better speaker than Trump is, although my perception is mostly based on the fact that she used complete sentences and didn't say the word "best" 50 times.

I actually think her enunciation was better than expected.

I'm not knocking her for her delivery at all, but the content of her speech is just so bizarre. All night we've heard that immigrants are bad, open borders are bad, but she (an immigrant) is fine with that and supports the guy who wants to actively deport tons of folks for no reason. Like, it's the epitome of "close the door right after me".

I didn't catch of all of Melania's speech, but she is a much, much better speaker then he is. Her speech was a mess, but at least she was able to get it out.

Giuliani: "Trump is gonna be the change we believe in! oh, that was Obama's thing. Trump is uhhhh great! Trump is the best! What the gently caress was I saying?"

Melania: "I came to this country which was the best things ever, but we should stop letting other people come to this countries because Trump is great, he is a great leader, a great guy."

Grandpa Military: "uhhhh, please USA? ... Exactly. Troops! Trivial matters! Hyperbole! Bathrooms! USA! USA! God! USA! God! Not bathrooms!"

I looked up the ronald reagan quote to gain context

quote:

Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Cuban stopped and said, "How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to." And in that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.

wow, reagan, what a loving marxist commie, should've shot that refugee before he brought terror here

I also think this guy has only given speeches to soldiers in formation. Just ramble something out and don't break or wait for reactions. Command reactions which happen succinctly and in unity.

Yeah for someone who wasn't speaking in her first language, her English skills were excellent. Plus I liked the speech since she was pretty much saying moderate viewpoints.

You're assuming these folks bother to go out of the US or care what other people in other countries think of us.
