Here is something finally positive, tax reform. It only took an hour.

Otherwise known as the massive tax cut he's giving himself?

Is this going to be the longest acceptance speech in a while? I think Obama and Romney's were only like 45 minutes.

This is a serious time in our country. I'm undecided but I am worried.

You are worried for no reason. Your worry is irrational and based in a pile of lies.

Relax, he is trolling.

Yank, I'm not trolling. I'm a voter and I have to make a choice of who is the best president.

"Shorter Trump" is now trending on twitter...his speech dragged on for too long

Are you sure it's about the length of his speeches and not something else? He does seem to be overcompensating.

Hillary proposed a massive tax increase?

No. That's a big lie. Clinton's plan doesn't really change much, actually.

Does Trump know Mike Pence's thoughts on NAFTA?

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he had no idea.

Trump's campaign has never been a positive one. It's been all about exploiting anger and frustration (among other negative emotions.)

Worked for Nixon.

America is fundamentally different than it was 48 years ago.

bronz, my friend has a big house right smack dab in the middle of Baltimore, a block from the riots, and they never touched it. They never touched any homes, they only went after chain stores. Not to say it was a great night by any means but ordinary people have nothing to fear from Ferguson and Baltimore.

(edit: ok, literally two private residences in the entire city. not statistically significant as a danger)

Wow, this is really, really, really long. "Shorter Trump" is trending on twitter. Nate Silver made a comment about it.

When did he first start speaking?

Trump is bombing now simply because his speech is far too long. Once you go past 45 minutes people tune out and his speech could be twice that long

It's been an hour and 10 minutes so far. When's the last time an acceptance speech was this long?
