“I AM YOUR VOICE”

Donald Trump gave a stemwinder of a speech in accepting the Republican presidential nomination.  Promising to make us safe, add millions of jobs, defeat terrorism, fix our economy, solve poverty, and relieve all of our grievances, Trump said “I alone can fix it.”  He repeated, “I am the law and order candidate.”  “I am going to make our country rich again.”  He said, in all-caps in the text of his speech, “I AM YOUR VOICE.”

Did you hear the speech?  You can read it after the jump.  What do you think about his speech?  What does it tell us about this candidate and the kind of president he would make?

From Politico:

Friends, delegates and fellow Americans: I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States. Together, we will lead our party back to the White House, and we will lead our country back to safety, prosperity, and peace.

We will be a country of generosity and warmth. But we will also be a country of law and order.

Our Convention occurs at a moment of crisis for our nation. The attacks on our police, and the terrorism in our cities, threaten our very way of life. Any politician who does not grasp this danger is not fit to lead our country. Americans watching this address tonight have seen the recent images of violence in our streets and the chaos in our communities. Many have witnessed this violence personally, some have even been its victims.

I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end. Beginning on January 20th 2017, safety will be restored.
