I think the best friend's speech was a snooze fest. Ivanka is poised and well-spoken, and I enjoyed listening to her. She seemed to be describing platform issues I've never actually heard from her father, though. I kept waiting for him to tell us his platform, and mostly what I heard was, "Be afraid. Be very afraid."

I thought it was a great speech. There were parts I disagreed with and I wondered where he was going to get the money to pay for some of his stuff, but if he can act this way and stay sane, he could pull this out. His speech was very well done.

ETA: I actually noticed that Baron sort of shrugged his dad's hands off his shoulders and wondered "what's up with that?" and then I realized he is a pre-teen and probably is completely overwhelmed and overtired. I noticed the same thing and kind of giggle-snorted. It was SUCH a pre-teen thing to do...and you could just hear him thinking "DADDDDDDD" in that voice only a kid that age can manage.

Forgive me for being shallow, but did Mr. Trump get a haircut?? I asked my dh the same thing when he first came out.

With the picture he painted of the United States, we won't have to worry about immigration. No one will want to come here.
It makes me sad. There is so much to be proud of here.

Poor Baron. Trump basically ignored him while he was on the stage. Kinda awkward. Maybe this is depends on the channel you are watching? I saw the two of them together at the end of the speech while the balloons were falling and turned to DH and commented that "he is his father's son..Look at them together" because they looked so alike. I'm not sure what channel we were on as DH thinks you are not really watching TV unless you have the clicker in your hand and constantly click, click, click!!

It seemed to be dedicated just to the convention. No commericals, no commentary. I liked it a lot. I didn't see that he ignored him, I also didn't see lots of love after the inital hug. But I wouldn't expect it. It wasn't the time to have him sit on his lap. They were celebrating with the audience, the whole family, and Pence's family. T

Really i thought he was quite affectionate to him he was standing directly behind him and put his arms around his shoulders. I didn't see that. What I saw was that Trump and Melania basically cut him off and then stood right in front of him. OH well. Could have been for a ton of reasons.

Poor Baron. Trump basically ignored him while he was on the stage. Kinda awkward. Really? How so? I saw him give him a very big hug when he walked out (as he did all of his kids) and he had his hands on his shoulders when Baron was standing in front of him. I didn't see that he was ignoring him at all. I'm not sure what would have been expected? Bat the balloons back and forth with him volleyball style? Put him on his shoulders? Do a fist bump? ETA: I actually noticed that Baron sort of shrugged his dad's hands off his shoulders and wondered "what's up with that?" and then I realized he is a pre-teen and probably is completely overwhelmed and overtired. What I was referring to was when Trump and Melania were getting ready to leave the stage. They cut Baron off, and then stood right in front of him. Maybe Baron was tired, cranky or bored. LOL Who knows.

Can someone remind me: didn't Jerry Falwell do something illegal? Yes, I can google but I figure someone here will remember and give me the cliff notes version. Hmm I thought he was the guy that cried in front of his parishioners and said I have sinned but nope he wasn't lol. Ha ha that was Jimmy Swaggert

Trump did well using the TelePrompTer, and he delivered his speech with skill.
I heard a LOT of promises of things he's going to fix - fast - but nothing that said how. And I agree that he focuses so much on what he thinks is wrong with the US, making it sound like this country is in a horrible state in just about every way - and not everyone agrees with that.

LOL Who knows. Fair enough - I didn't see that. But I think that illustrates how people see things differently depending on how they want to see them. You made it sound like they ignored him the entire time they were on stage instead of that they walked in front of him exiting the stage.

This! I don't even think he's a tween, isn't he 9, a tall 9? It's a lot to ask the kid to be in a suit and tie, in front of a crowd. I thought Trump patted him and then they allowed him (Baron) to recede. I noticed Donald Jr (?) reached out for him too. I liked his speech more than I expected and am pleased there was acknowledgment of LGBT community. At least it's some progress...even if there's tons more to do.

What I DID notice and didn't like was when Trump mentioned all of his kids and said "didn't Melania and Ivana do a job" (meaning good job). Even though he had mentioned Tiffany and she was on the stage at the end, he didn't mention Marla, who also seems to have raised a very polite and poised Trump daughter.

It was petty. ETA I didn't like his comment about his Dad, and then himself, liking to hang with carpenters, bricklayers, and steelworkers (?). He laid he oves "those people", as if they're a different species. A little condescending.

Yes, the 3 oldest - Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric - are with Ivana; Tiffany is Marla Maples' daughter, and Milania is Baron's mother.

They worked together so maybe that was the difference between her and Marla.

I misheard that and thought he said Melania and Ivanka, meaning their speeches. Another example of watching the same thing yet hearing/seeing differently!

MSNBC discussed this. He said Melania and Ivanka and their analysts cited that as an example of how he is when he ad libs (forgetting Tiffany) and why he should stick to what is prepared.
