Melania's speech went over like a lead balloon

It was awful. Her blouse was awful. She revealed nothing about herself, her life with him, zero. What a waste of time. It was a speech that sounded like it was given by someone who barely knew Donald Trump.

It was weird.

off.

The number one reason, IMHO, why Trump got the nomination is because he said he was going to build a damn wall. Racist immigrant hating right wingers ate it up. They won't want to listen to Melania speak. She is no Laura Bush with a southern accent. She is completely unrelatable to them.

I hope Trump hauls her out many more times in the next few days.

She's a "good" immigrant in their minds. She's white. She doesn't speak Spanish. She's not taking anyone's job. And they believe that she came here "legally".
