Trump has repeatedly offered an olive branch to the Democrats and they have refused to take it. Their actions tonight made them look very small and petty. Not to mention un-American.
It's time to bury the hatchet and work together for the common good of the American citizen.
It's pretty hard after dealing with 8 years of republicans refusing to work together. You can't expect one month goes by and everything be copacetic.
This was the best speech I've seen from Trump. It was well-planned and executed and he read it quite smoothly off the Teleprompter. He must have broken his tradition and actually showed-up to practice it a few times, this afternoon. Whoever wrote it, hit on many important issues, but yet managed to completely ignore many sensitive matters, that would likely have had a negative impact on him.
He demonstrated that he could act in a somewhat dignified way, if he tried hard enough. If only he'd had the sense to conduct himself in this way from the beginning, he'd be far ahead of where he is now. But I'm wondering if tomorrow (most likely at 3 am), will he be back on Twitter, with his usual?
I recommend that everyone watch the rebuttal by former Kentucky Governor, Democrat Steve Beshear. That was a masterpiece of concise and pertinent commentary. Is he available to run for president?
As someone who has never been a fan of Donald Trump, I have to say that was a very moving, emotional and inspiring speech.
I wish he communicated in that fashion more often, rather than how he has to this point.
He needs time and preparation to come up with this stuff. Tweets and rest of the stuff is instantaneous and impulsive stuff. That being said, he is learning and changing from his election days.
The election isn't a sport and America isn't a Tony Robbins seminar.
Well then resent and cry and gnash your teeth for 8 years.
Oh, and the election is long over sweety pie.

That would be nice... For their sakes, really.

Tell it to Trump...
Tell it to Trump? With vote recounts by Stein, Russians, threats of repeal, Women's marches lead by terrorist murders, Soros, the Obama Administration who is in bed with the DOJ, parts of the Intelligence community, the fake news media and the fake educated academia and the fake faced Hollywood?
We enjoy Trump kicking their asses to the curb every single time and we'll do it again and again for the next 8 years.
Tonight he did something Obama never did, he actually connected with Americans on a human level. Great speech. Can't say enough about it. This is the man I voted for.
Did anyone else think the dem response from an old white former governor in a diner in Kentucky was odd? It screamed "Hey we like rural white people too!" Way too obvious and odd.
Lucky you! Guess what. Most people don't work for corporations! Trump promised to help "the people." "The people" do not work for corporations. You like it when it's for YOU, but you're against anyone else getting it.
You need to read it again. I'm for it. But I didn't like PCA statement that USA and New Guinea are the only two countries that don't have. That's radicalized.

I cried during the Ryan moment. That was devastating and beautiful at the same time. Powerful moment
