The media focuses on the wife's speech blunder and the ruckus at the start of the convention. However, as Moore points out the pundits are missing the much bigger picture which is Trump`s message plays very well with voting blocks he needs to secure in order to win the election.

4 years of "it's gonna be unbelievable what we're doing, we're doing amazing things"

When pressed for specifics, "just know were doing amazing things"


Unbelievable the voters of this country. When you had a clearly qualified candidate in Cruz


Well at least we only get 4 years of trump after the idiot citizens realize the guy is totally not qualified and won't do anything except say "we're doing amazing things". Ryan and Cruz will take it in 2020

Trump is a prime example of the Dunning–Kruger effect

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which relatively unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than it really is.

Not at all like Hope and Change. When Obama ran in 2008 he ran with detailed policy positions that were vetted by experts. Trump, contrarily, is running on platitudes. His few policy positions, such as his tax plan, unmistakably benefits the elite and not the working class he claims to want to help.

And look how well all of those detailed policy positions worked out.

Obama voting present in his short time in the Illinois Senate didn't exactly make him "clearly qualified".

Cruz is not as electable Nationwide as Trump as Cruz would not have secured as many Independents and Democrats.

Actually, he did fairly well, when you look at what he promised and what he delivered.

He ran into a bump when congross decided to block him and the republican party decided to create the kkk political branch called the tea party.

I'll let that sink in...
