I'm giving them an A+ for last night. I'm not a conservative but a moderate compassionate libertarian. I'm not religious at all.

Did not hit us over the head too much with the military and America is always right like we had in 2004. There is no idiot war they have to defend.

Were not over the top with religion.

Did an outstanding job explaining how Trump is great for working Americans and how he has actually done a good job dealing with the virus.

Vernon Jones and Niki Haley gave the best speeches among the political types. Jim Jordan was really good.

Herschel Walker was solid. He knows Trump since 1983.

Even the worst speeches were pretty good. Don Jr had good things to say. He was the heavy weight I guess calling Joe Beijing Biden lol. His delivery was not ideal. I was expecting some warmth coming from the presidents own son. This is your father who is under constant attack and hated and his speech was the least moving one.

Kim Guilfoyle's speech was quite good but a little too much fire and brimstone. I'm sure few libtards knew that she has Puerto rican heritage.

Guilfoyle and Haley were able to talk about their ethnic backgrounds as woman of color(Hate that term) that is real not made up like Beto and Warren.

On balance an A+ night and if it keeps going like this the demtards are toast.

Agree on Kimberly. She drank too much expresso or something.

Don Jr the more I think of it was disappointing. Why give a political speech at all? Just talk about how much you love your dad and how you hate these people who want to destroy him.

I have never seen a president attacked more harshly and more viciously in an organized way.They have called this man a traitor and treasonous and always a racist. How would that make you feel as his son?

Pissed off, amped, and wanting to attack...which he did. I understand his tone completely and enjoyed it. Don Jr has usually always played offense like his dad. Last night was no exception.

Look for the warm touchy stuff to come from Ivanka and Tiffany, who are speaking tonight and tomorrow I think.

Eric will probably be a mix, somewhere between Don Jr and the girls in terms of tone.

Don Jr. is obviously the most beloved on here, which makes sense because he emulates his dad.

But Eric is certainly the most genuine and I think the most underutilized.

I don't dislike Don Jr., but to me he's just a strong and intelligent speaker who shares the Trump name. A bit like a professional mercenary - give him a task and points to make and he can do it pretty compellingly. But he doesn't ever break new ground, isn't a subject matter expert in anything and doesn't have a resume that I think merits catapulting him into the WH.

ABC News is calling out CNN, MSNBC, and Fox for repeatedly cutting away from the speeches last night to fact check them in real time.

He should tell that to Hershel Walker’s face

They're scared

Or at least uncertain

Watching it now, but the fact that Yahoo and Twitter are mostly silent on this means it was probably pretty damn good.

40 minutes in. Great job putting the Democrat governors praising the feds. About fricking time they did an ad with that.

Ummmm, yeah! I look at Portland and I'm scared. That is absolutely the strategy. You lunatics can't be anywhere near power right now.

Guilfoyle was a mistake. First miss of the night so far. Way too over the top. Maybe it'd work with an audience, but it does not work in an empty room. Should have had Candace in that slot.
