RNC was 'compelling' until Trump ‘went off the rails,' Smerconish says - 이중 자막

here to help us make sense of where all this stands with the 2024 race is Michael Smirkhanish.

It's a Smirkhanish Friday.

He's the host of CNN's Smirkhanish and a CNN political commentator.

Michael, good morning to you.

This is a little bit of choose your own adventure.

So you tell me we've got Trump's speech last night,

which started off on that really unified

know that we expected from him that his team had been saying this sort of changed man was going to give us that then involved,

I think you could say, into a very traditional campaign speech that was full of misrepresentations and falsifications and some of his particular grievances.

And then of course you have,

you know, as we were watching that, we're all frantically reporting, is President Biden about to step aside from the top of the ticket?

It's just a remarkable situation.

The only thing I know for sure,

Casey, and good morning is that at the New York Post, they went to bed early because the cover this morning is a new dime.

on.

And to your point, for 25 minutes, it was last night.

But he reverted to the old Don.

Big picture, if that's what you're asking me for three nights in prime time, I thought the RNC was choreographed and computerized.

But they didn't keep it tight last night.

He went off the rails and you could see the wheels turning in his head as you often do

at rallies where he's on prompter and when he senses that the audience may be getting a

little bit bored than he throws in red meat, which in the rallies has worked for him.

But last night, I think was a missed opportunity.

big picture, you'd rather be among the Rs than the Ds because of the vulnerabilities in that Biden White House.

But I think that Donald Trump long term last night in that speech showed some of those weaknesses that still persist.

Michael, where do you think things sit with the Democratic Party, Megan McCain, who I know, I you know, she tweeted this in in relation to

to something that had had she said it as something was unfolding with Biden quote this is the

most insane intense dramatic election cycle of my life and my dad picked Sarah Palin as

his VP without the campaign knowing her teenage daughter was pregnant.

It, there's, this, this is an incredibly dramatic moment.

I say this with no glee in my voice, but two weeks ago I did a commentary on my program on CNN.

I said it's, it's a, a matter of when not if.

There's just no doubt in my mind that President Biden will not be the standard bear for his party.

I just don't know at what point in the next few days that happens.

The data is just overwhelming and the voices among democratic leadership.

There's no one missing.

I mean,

by extension,

even I think President Obama is involved in this because of George Clooney having given him the tip off that he was going to write for the New York Times.

It's just so overwhelming and money talks in the end.

I think it's dried up.

It's sad.

way, but it is where we are.

And the question of the day is now what?

Is it going to be by acclimation that it becomes the vice president or is there going to be some type of competition

in the next five weeks?

That's the issue.

Do you think Kamala Harris can beat Donald Trump, Michael?

I think that she can, but I doubt that she's the strongest among the bench.

I that there's a lot of polling data out there that suggests that somebody from one of those three critical states,

my own,

Josh Shapiro,

Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan, Wisconsin, you tell me who can keep those in the Democratic fold and I'll tell you who the strongest candidate is.

I don't think you help the nor the democrats nor the nation if you just hand it to her.

I she'd be enhanced if there's some type of a blitz primary and she emerges from it victorious.

I think it's in everybody's best interest.

I think that it would be good for the country to have that level of competition.

Very interesting.

All Michael Smirconich, always grateful to have you.

Thank you so much.

Donald Trump, officially accepting the party's nomination and giving an historically long acceptance speech and doing that during his hour and a half plus speech.

Donald Trump did call for unity.

A message shift that he and his campaign had been teasing to you all week in the aftermath of the assessment.

that unifying message where it began there, it quickly then morphed into something of a greatest hits of a typical Donald Trump campaign speech.

There were grievances,

there was division,

there was finger pointing, there's a lot of red meat there for everyone who was here in the hall decidedly not unifying in those portions.

Here's how the speech started.

The discord and division in our society must be healed, we must heal it quickly.

As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny.

We rise together or we fall apart.

And then here is where it went.

The election result would never going to let that happen again.

They use COVID to cheat.

You're going to let it happen again.

In all, by CNN's count, Donald Trump made at least 22 false claims in that speech about the election, about immigration, about the justice system.

So which message, which side of Donald Trump that we saw last night, will linger longer with voters?

That's a big question today.

Elena Trean, here with more, watching it all on now officially zero sleep, as everyone is.

But still, kicking.

What are you hearing from?

campaign and those around him about what happened his speech last night how it

was received and what they think it does for them now today.

Well I think as you adventure they had really been very much like over-aggressive,

I'd say touting what that start of the speech would be.

That it was going to be,

you know,

a unifying speech would be a very different speech than the ones that we are used to hearing from Donald Trump,

which I'd say was true until,

you know,

about halfway in,

not even when he started riffing and rambling,

and we saw the Donald Trump that we all know and well,

and go on and attack Democrats, and, you know, really, they wanted this to be a high-level optimist.

speech following that, you discussion over what had happened in his very personal recounting of the shooting.

I'm not exactly sure if that's what it was, but look, I think, overall, it was a tale of two speeches.

We did see,

and I was kind of shocked in the beginning,

we saw a much more vulnerable side of Donald Trump as he was walking through what had happened to him.

I am told that he has been very personally, I mean of course, affected by that shooting.

He has been talking about divine intervention, that he wasn't supposed to be here, something he said himself last night.

But then when it started to go back to his vision for America,

what he would do if he were put back in office, did here.

The Donald Trump come back.

I of ate my words when I was calling him vulnerable because then we went back to to the Trump.

Some were noting that like prompt or stop the teleprompter stop because he was going off.

Which is that is classic Donald Trump.

Whenever I'm out of Trump rally,

it is like he never know what's going to happen in a speech regardless of us getting the prepared marks ahead of time.

But I do want you to just take a lesson to kind of the juxtaposition of what we had heard.

This election should be about the issues facing our country and how to make America successful, safe, free, and great again.

In an age when our politics too often divide us, now is the time to remember that we are all fellow citizens.

In that spirit, the Democrat Party should immediately stop weaponizing the justice system and labeling their political opponent as an enemy of democracy.

So, as you can see, I mean, just two completely different teachers.

I won't note, though, however, and I am curious how this is going to end up resonating because this was very late this speech.

As you mentioned, it was more than 90 minutes.

He didn't rap until after 11 close to midnight on the East Coast even later.

And so they did get those soundbites and that visual imagery that they wanted,

particularly that WWE style, you know, Hulk Hogan, Rip and his shirt, screaming Trump.

All of that, they got.

I don't know how many Americans were staying up for the very end of the speech,

and so I'm curious to see how it resonates with most of America.

And also, how that translates now
