    That he's good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people like him. Those are the ones he disagrees with.

    A friend of mine covering the convention in Cleveland tweeted these pics earlier today. CAIR is handing out this "medicine" (gum, actually) outside the hall. :lol:

    No, it doesn't. Those types of bits are so generic that they are almost boiler plate graduation speeches. "We want to raise our kids to succeed!" kind of stuff.

    Yep. They probably used the same speechwriter. Did you also notice that she Rickrolled the entire audience?

    If you want someone to fight for you and your country, I can assure you, he is the 'guy'. He will never, ever, give up. And, most importantly, he will never, ever, let you down. Donald is, and always has been, an amazing leader.

    Doubtful, since speechwriters at that level are political operatives, and outside of Dick Morris, most of them stick with candidates from a single party.

    I wouldn't rule out both speechwriters having cribbed from the same source material, though.

    It'd be pretty ironic if it were Joe Biden.
