2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumRe: Melania. Someone tonight made the comment that her speech didn't have much "red meat."
That it had a lot more "blue meat." (I was flipping back and forth between MSNBC and CNN so I'm not sure which.)
That's what I'd thought listening to it, too -- that it sounded more like a Democratic speech than anything I've heard from Trump or any other R in years.
And now we know why.

(20,709 posts)1. Yeah, I thought so too, it was a Dem-sounding speech.
There was stuff in there about how we have to make sure we take care of the poor, and that all children get educated, things the GOP hates. And there wasn't any hatefulness and racism like the rest of the speeches.
"And there wasn't any hatefulness and racism like the rest of the speeches..."
it's sad that that's what gives it away...

Democratic "blue meat."
