Trump has not said one thing concretely on policy. No specific solutions for anything.

How's he going to lead if he doesn't know what he's doing?

This was hardly better than a high school pep rally.

How does this mythical wall keep out "illegal immigrants" that properly get a visa and then just go off the grid and stay? Are we going to tag them all like wildlife?

http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/288648-trumps-family-would-get-a-71-billion-windfall-from-estate-tax-plan

Donald Trump's family would get a $7.1 billion tax cut under the Republican presidential nominee's proposal to eliminate the federal estate tax, a centrist think tank estimated.

"The staggeringly high value of the tax cut for the Trump dynasty alone carries the same price tag as multiple high-value national priorities," Third Way said in an analysis Wednesday.

Trump proposed repealing the estate tax in a tax plan he released last year. The nonpartisan Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center has estimated that Trump's plan as a whole would cost almost $10 trillion over a decade and disproportionately benefit the wealthy.

Economic advisers to Trump are working on revising the tax plan to reduce its cost, but the advisers have not explicitly said they were making any changes to the plan's treatment of the estate tax.

Instead of giving Trump's heirs a windfall, Congress could spend that $7.1 billion on expanding Pell Grants for three years, funding efforts to find a cure for cancer for seven years, finance career and technical education and skills for a generation and support electric-grid investments for more than 10 years, Third Way said.

The think tank came up with the $7.1 billion figure by estimating that Trump's estate would be valued at $17.7 billion in 2030, the year actuarial tables estimate that Trump's family would inherit the money.

Third Way calculated that Trump's estate, minus an exemption for $15 million of it, would be subject to a 40-percent tax if the estate tax is not repealed.

Is he filler busting? I wonder if any candidate has talked this long. He figures it's free air time.

Good speech. Now we get to see Hillary and the Democrats be just as hypocritical.

I'm guessing it will mostly be a coronation especially since Bernie is now firmly on the Hillary train.

I meant the coverage in this thread. :lol: But yeah you are right.

I did not watch a minute of this nor did I watch the debates. And I am the target audience! It just still seems as odd to me as when I said it when the primary debates started why bother watching if your are a democrat voter? Nothing they say is changing your mind really and to spend time analyzing every bit of a convention that will not either seems weird.

Yes.
I'm going to guess that it goes something like this:
Elizabeth Warren is great.
Bill Clinton is great.
Bernie Sanders brought up some good points and had a good message.
Hillary united the party and looks to be the one who is going to win.
