THESE ARE anxious times in America. Despite a steadily, if slowly, growing economy and the absence of a major war, people remain troubled by a sense of national underperformance and myriad social ills, most recently the surge in racially tinged fatal shootings committed by law enforcement officers and against them. A new Gallup poll reports that only 17 percent of Americans feel satisfied with the way things are going, the lowest percentage since October 2013 — and down 12 points in just the past month.
For many, of course, a cause of concern is Donald Trump, who accepted the Republican presidential nomination Thursday evening. Belligerent and erratic, Mr. Trump nevertheless has a serious chance to win in November. In his acceptance speech, he sought to enhance his political prospects the only way he knows how: by inflaming public angst, so as to exploit it.

When it comes to spreading lies, The Washington Post could give the old Soviet Union’s Newspaper (Pravda) a run for its money.
Big Media......jumping that shark with every nasty editorial and phony, alarming and nonsense ‘apocalypse’ warning.
I stopped reading right there.
Delusional...
Bet no one over there even watched the speech and had pre-written review ready and able no matter what he said:-)
This article of print media apocalypse.
So, when the Democrats talked about the worst economy since the great depression over and over, that was not being exploitative.
The Donald seems to have pissed off all the right people.
Good for him.
Hysteria rules on the left this morning. The poor little HATE AMERICA FIRST snowflakes at the NY Times and WaPo aren’t getting their way.
lol
it is an “apocalypse” ... for liberals!
It’s the END of the liberal world!
The Compost and all the other MSM stooges have an eight year investment in this administration and they are not going to throw it away or acknowledge their complicity in the disaster they supported.
The meme and key words for today will be DARK, ANGRY, APOCALYPTIC, FASCIST, & FEAR and LOATHING, among others.
And of course next week will be all unicorns and skittles in Filthydelphia.
I love the smell of flop sweat in the morning. It smells like ... victory!
Only for those working inside the beltway.
I warned you yesterday that if Trump used the prompters that his speech would be leaked before he gave it, and sure enough, it was leaked. This is how MSM works, they have their spies everywhere.
I stopped at: “Despite a steadily, if slowly, growing economy and the absence of a major war” he he..
Did the author use the word “DARK” in his article ?
The DNC won’t pay you if you don’t use the word DARK.
Trump was good to revoke Waposts credentials. At least they are being honest in asserting their perspective which is they think that America is just fine and believe that the next President should just manage the decline waiting for some future apocalypse. Trump instead is offering to turn this country around and go full steam ahead to better days with an America strong again that commands respect because it has leaders that respect it and its people.
