Just because he is reading it, it doesn't mean that he didn't write it and, as we all know, many get extensive help with their speeches. So what? Again, it isn't like someone had to hold him up, no brain freeze and what was that Hillary said she had, some robotic error?

Just not sure where you are going with this? I'm thinking it is going no where. Non-issue. Yep, my candidate can read and in this election, I think that puts another "feather in his hat".

Ah, but his teleprompter's learned to make a distinction between "radical" islam and islam.

He raises and lowers his hands to track where he is reading. It's like his hand is a word counter. He's a terrible reader. Many 5th graders are much more fluid when they read aloud and don't need to use their hand to track their place.

Give the guy a break. The size of his hands rule out Sarah Palin's favorite mnemonic technique:



- what's he supposed to do?

"We must screen out any of hostile attitudes toward our country...those who do not believe in our constitution or who support bigotry..."

can't wait to hear what a bigotry test asks....

will they also be asked about freedom of the press?

And, conversely, they slavishly adored Reagan for the ability to speak off a teleprompter while looking as natural as can be, as though he was speaking extemporaneously.

But then, that's modern Republicanism for you! Before it can decide whether it thinks something is the greatest thing ever or the worst thing ever, it first needs to know whether that thing was done by Reagan or Obama!

Reagan does 'A' = sheer brilliance!
Obama does 'A' (ie, the exact same thing) = diabolical evil!

You critical fools! Just listen and stop criticizing! It's a great speech, he is direct , peaceful, and talking about what we need to do to make America Safe again! Excellent speech. The party is for what he is speaking. I don't care if he is a great speaker or not. The Media will have nothing to make up and lie about after this. Two great speeches of specific plans in a row by Trump!

What's the point? It's the same crap that he has been peddling for months. Nothing new in there really.

OMG. Trump wants to create a Commission on Radical Islam, to explain Radical Islam to Americans, how to identify it, how to report it, and new "protocols" for police to deal with reports. "We will deal with it viciously. Viciously"
