Trump’s speech last night had some clear takeaways: (1) law & order (2) anti-terrorism (3) outreach to both LGBTQs and Evangelicals (4) dignity and economic hope for the working class.
The speech was civilized .. which was probably disappointing those folks who were rooting for a crash & burn.
My opinion: he came across as a credible “blue-collar billionaire” … has genuine empathy for the working class …. still, a bit rough around the edges.
Breaking: CNN “snap poll” reports that 74% of viewers had a favorable reaction to Trump’s speech.
The speech reminded me of a great piece in the Washington Post by Barton Swaim author of “The Speechwriter: A Brief Education in Politics.”
His basic conclusion: “The most distinctive about Trump … is the structure of his language.”

Swain says that Trump — nnlike most politicians –doesn’t speak in political rhetoric; he speaks in punchlines – short jabs, not convoluted passages.
