I dont think either has won anything yet but Trump has momentum and fear mongering on his side tbh
Republican pollster Frank Luntz turned to Twitter late Thursday night to predict that the Republican National Convention would propel Donald Trump ahead of or near Hillary Clinton in the polls within a few days.
"Mark my words," Luntz tweeted, "This speech will put Trump even or ahead of Hillary in polls by Monday, when the Democratic convention begins."
Luntz's prediction came after Trump formally accepted the Republican nomination for president in his Thursday-night speech.
wishful thinking by a Repug loser
TRUMP SUCCEEDS IN DELIVERING SPEECH NO ONE WILL WANT TO PLAGIARIZE
CLEVELAND — Donald J. Trump was jubilant Thursday night after accomplishing his goal of delivering a speech that no one will ever want to plagiarize, Trump aides confirmed.
According to his staff, Trump and his speechwriters had been
working overtime during the week to create a tirade that was sufficiently bloated, unhinged, and terrifying to discourage potential plagiarists
from reusing excerpts in the future.
Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, said that, right until the hour the candidate took the stage, the billionaire’s writing team was
scrubbing the speech of any marginally coherent passages that might prove tempting to plagiarists.
“There was one sentence toward the beginning that had traces of humanity and rational thought,” Manafort said. “Fortunately, we caught it in time.”
Watching from backstage on Thursday night, Manafort and the speechwriters erupted into a flurry of high-fives when it became clear that the speech was the rambling, demented mess they had worked so hard to create.
“From the moment Mr. Trump started shrieking and his entire head turned red, we knew we had nailed it,” he said.
Harland Dorrinson, a leading plagiarism expert, shared the campaign’s assessment that the final draft of Trump’s
seventy-minute rant was too repellent to entice even the least discerning plagiarist.
“I can’t see anyone lifting anything from that speech unless he wanted to sound totally bat crazy,” he said.

the GOP candidate went out of his way to place a special emphasis on crime.
There is, however, a problem: crime rates are going down, not up. Though perspectives are often skewed by high-profile incidents, most Americans are safer from crime now than they’ve been in a generation.
For Trump, that makes lying necessary – if voters aren’t terrified, he’s going to lose – but for the Trump campaign, there’s another rhetorical option available. New York magazine flagged this gem:
[W]hen CNN’s Jake Tapper confronted Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort with the inconvenient facts about how historically safe most Americans are, Manafort chose to attack the messenger. Which is to say, to attack the Federal Bureau of Investigation.http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-s...d=sm_fb_maddow
“Empirically, according to FBI statistics, crime rates have been going down for decades,” Tapper said. “How can Republicans make the argument that, somehow, it’s more dangerous today, when the facts don’t back that up?”
“People don’t feel safe in their neighborhoods. I don’t know what statistics you’re talking about,” Manafort replied. “The FBI is suspect these days, after what they just did with Hillary Clinton.”

The pledge depending on everyone agreed to it, once Trump ended it, it was no longer valid.
This interview went well
Donald Trump’s Angry, Dark Speech Caps Off a Disastrous RNC
The only thing Republicans could seemingly agree on is that Hillary Clinton belongs in prison.
Cleveland — In the America depicted by Donald Trump’s dystopian acceptance speech Thursday night,
it is blackest midnight in the land of the once-free,
unimaginably far from morning.
The unlikely GOP presidential nominee rejected suggestions that he give a unifying speech that reached for the center.
Instead, he described
a country rocked by crime,
riven by race,
menaced by terrorists, and
overrun by illegal immigrants.
Trump out-Nixoned Richard Nixon, promising to be a “law and order” president just like our 37th.
He defined Hillary Clinton as just another criminal who will coddle the many other criminals who “threaten our very way of life.”
At this fractured, low-energy convention in the Democratic stronghold of Cleveland, a GOP tribe still deeply divided over Trump could
only agree on one thing: Clinton is a lying fraud who belongs in prison.
The anti-Clinton bloodlust was in full force Thursday night. Whereas Mitt Romney’s 2012 GOP convention had “You built that!” as a unifying, if lame, theme,
Trump’s 2016 convention had just one grim and angry point—“Lock her up!”
One convention speaker after another went after Clinton, each more vicious than the last. On Tuesday, Trump-neutered New Jersey Governor Chris Christie reached to get his manhood back by presiding over a mock trial of Clinton, where he presented her alleged misdeeds and let the audience chant, “Guilty!” I think if Clinton had been in the arena personally, the crowd would have set her on fire—Secret Service be damned.
Thursday night was Trump’s chance to fry Clinton. Wearing a classy black suit with a dazzling red tie, his hair whipped into a special golden soufflé, the color of an Oscar, Trump promised to remember “the forgotten American,” saying, “I am your voice.”
But he
was a voice of fear and anger,
a loud, screaming voice
promising retribution for the crimes that have laid the nation low,
including the “terrible, terrible crimes” committed by Clinton.
He shouted at the country,
red-faced,
for an endless 76 minutes.

Trash!
Trash supporters!
Repugs are so ed!
The pledge exposed almost the whole party in one fell swoop. Hardly anyone who didn't want a job from Trump kept the pledge!
You don't still believe the michael brown "hands up, don't shoot" lie, do you?
"Not Hillary" is the only thing Trump has to go on.
Just like "Not Trump" should be the only thing Hillary has to go on. (It isn't because of all the mindless liberal sycophants)
Conservative Heads Explode at Ivanka Trump's Speech Calling for Equal Pay for Women
Where does the would-be first daughter get off suggesting equal pay and affordable childcare on the stage of the RNC?
Small note:
Her father's campaign is reportedly paying women staffers 35 percent less than the men.
Not to mention the fact that the notion of equal pay for women and affordable childcare is completely AWOL from the Republican platform.
Details details.

Your memory is as faulty as your takes
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has pulled nearly even with Democratic rival Hillary Clinton for the first time since May, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken over the course of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this week.
The July 18 to 22 national online poll found that 41 percent of likely voters supported Clinton, while 38 percent supported Trump. Given the poll's credibility interval of about 4 percentage points, Trump and Clinton should be considered to be about even in the race.
Just before Republicans opened the convention on Monday, Trump had trailed Clinton by nearly 10 percentage points in the poll.
Before the convention you were showing polls showing him around the same point. IOW, where is the convention bump?
that poll had him behind 10
The bumnp is he's not getting embarrassed by being down 12-10 points nationally.
National popularity doesn't matter as much as winning about 5 swing states.
