From my perspective, the two best speeches of the convention came from Donald Trump Jr and Ivanka Trump. It was the highlight of the convention in what otherwise looked like a glorified Trump rally from the GOP primary race.
Donald Trump’s children stole this convention. They make jaded people like me think ‘if he’s really such an arrogant asshole then how did his children turn out so well?’
They did for Donald Trump what he still wasn’t able to do on his own in his record setting in length acceptance speech–namely make him appear human.
Was it enough to sway me? No. Not even remotely close. I might vote for Donald Jr or Ivanka down the road for something if they ever run for something, but in no way did this sway me or change my mind about their father.
I don’t hate Donald Trump, but I just don’t think he has the temperament to be leader of the free world. Nor do I feel he’s qualified.
But you never know what might happen in those debates. He ran roughshod over sixteen Republican canidates in his trek to the GOP nomination. I think more what we saw tonight was a Donald Trump deposition of what awaits Hillary Clinton the next three months.
This will be very ugly.
Historically ugly.
