\n \t* It's official. The unthinkable, according to the status quo earlier in the campaign, Donald Trump is the Republican Nominee
\n \t* Although many wrote him off as a candidate, I never did; I always said he was being underestimated
\n \t* I believed his message would resonate given how horrible the economy actually is and what is really happening beneath the headlines
\n \t* Everybody was proclaiming recovery and that we're on the right track and I knew that that wasn't the case
\n \t* I knew there would be a lot of dissatisfaction among the electorate on both sides of the aisle
\n \t* Even after Donald Trump locked up the Republican nomination, everybody was still writing him off
\n \t* The idea was, "He's going to lose in a landslide"
\n \t* Republican establishment said, "Abandon ship!", distancing themselves from Trump to maintain the House and the Senate, writing off the White House
\n \t* Maybe run against Hillary in 4 years
\n \t* That was the general consensus
\n \t* Again, I kept saying the the media and the political establishment on both sides were underestimating Donald Trump and the potential appeal of a Trump presidency
\n \t* I think that the speech he gave at the convention really proves that point
\n \t* I thought his speech was brilliant.
\n \t* When I say brilliant, I don't necessarily agree with everything he said; I clearly don't
\n \t* I'm talking about the political perspective
\n \t* Was this an effective speech to set the tone of the campaign?
\n \t* In that respect, I think he hit the ball out of the park
\n \t* The most clever thing about his speech is he didn't go after the Republicans
\n \t* He went after the Democrats
\n \t* He went after their base; their core constituency
\n \t* He is bringing the fight to their turf
\n \t* He went for the women, he went for the minorities
\n \t* Not just African Americans and Latinos, but the LGBTQ and the blue collar workers
\n \t* Donald Trump did not go after the entrepreneur
\n \t* He didn't promise to get government off your back and free up the businessman from red tape
\n \t* That's a typical Republican acceptance speech
\n \t* He said, "I'm going to be the champion of the little guy."
\n \t* The downtrodden, the forgotten voter
\n \t* "I'm your guy! The system has been rigged against you and because I have been part of the problem, I'm the only one who can deliver the solution"
\n \t* I think this is a very powerful strategy
\n \t* Because the Democrats have been taking their constituency for granted
\n \t* What Donald Trump says is, "Why are you blindly supporting the Democratic nominee?"
\n \t* What have they done for you? Nothing.
\n \t* He will bring up the shocking statistics that have been getting worse under 7 years of Barack Obama
\n \t* The horrible unemployment in the African American community
\n \t* The inner city crime
\n \t* The government dependency.\xa0 The despair.
\n \t* Why are African Americans handing their votes to a Democrat?
\n \t* The Democrats have let them down and failed them
\n \t* Donald Trump will say, "I won't do that.\xa0 Trust me."
\n \t* "I will deliver on the broken promises of generations of Democrats."
\n \t* What about women?
\n \t* Instead of denying the gender gap, he just accepted it.
