Donald Trump Jr. Gave the Speech His Dad Can’t Give, and These Conservatives & Pundits Loved It
Donald Trump Jr. seems to understand conservative policy preferences and the details of politics in a way his father seems utterly incapable of understanding it. More than that, he can articulate it. This was, by any measure, a very, very good convention speech.
So much so, in fact, that he received praise from some decidedly "not Trump" corners.

I thought it was a pretty good speech for a Trump. Your thoughts?
I thought he was excellent!
Of all the Trump kids, I think he's the star.
The 22yo was pretty dayem good, too! Shockingly good - for her age!
Two months out of UPenn ...She was pretty good too. I didn't realize she was only 22.
My wife saw it, and said he should consider a career in politics.
I draw more from progressivism than than conservatism, but his is the kind of conservatism I can respect, draw from, and have incorporated into my and my family's life.I watched a replay of his speech and I have to say I am very impressed with this young man. I wish he was the candidate instead of his father. From what I understand, he's also a real conservative (not a convenient convert because he wanted to be POTUS). He's articulate, bright, and a very appealing person.
He got his mother's genes.

What does that mean "for a Trump"?
To the bolded: I agree.Hm. This was solid - and features no major screw ups. It's clear the intent was to have some actual policy from the Trumps, and this was good as far as presentation. "Dodd Frank is consumer protection for billionaires". That's a great line. So was the "Ask yourself: if that was you at 3 a.m., who would you rather call?"
I find his lambasting of "the other party" a bit... odd.... given that he's a member of that party.... Hitting Hillary on restricting the 2nd Amendment is tricky for someone advocating a GOP candidate who supports restricting the 2nd Amendment. Hitting Democrats on big government is a bit rich for someone advocating for a GOP candidate who himself supports big, centralized government.
But generally, a solid speech. The obvious attempt to get rolling applause going faltered a bit, but solid.
It was a little more detailed than pops usually does in his speeches.
Seems to me he's already in politics, no?
