\\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.
