Today's Must-Read

From Mustang Bobby at BarkBarkWoofWoof:

If you stayed up to watch Donald Trump deliver his nearly 90-minute harangue, I admire you for your courage and your ability to control your gag reflex. All I did was read the transcript and catch a couple of clips and I’ve had enough.

What it all came down to is that Donald Trump told America and the world that we are in a hell of a mess and he is the only one who can fix it.

That has been the message of every dictator — from the left or the right — for time out of mind.

This is right in line with everything else I've read and seen about Trump's speech -- and, in fact, his whole campaign. The bottom line is, he has no clue, but he hires good people -- like the ones who managed the most disorganized, amateurish campaign ever.

Read the whole thing.
