On the final night of a convention filled with mishaps -- of the plagiarism, non-endorsement varieties -- Donald Trump painted a bleak picture of America, even as he officially accepted the Republican party's nomination for presidency.
His name was stamped in bold font across the convention hall jumbotron as he walked on stage. "I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States," Trump began his speech. He paused for a moment before departing from his prepared remarks to join the audience in chanting: "USA! USA! USA!"
At this point, Trump couldn't help but gloat a little over his victory in the primary race.
"Who would have believed that when we started this journey on June 16th of last year we - and I say 'we' because we are a team - would have received almost 14 million votes, the most in the history of the Republican Party," he said, "and that the Republican Party would get 60 percent more votes than it received four years ago." He noted that the Democratic party's primary voter turnout rates were "not so good."
The billionaire proceeded to lay out a dark vision of America: "Our convention occurs at a moment of crisis for our nation. The attacks on our police, and the terrorism in our cities, threaten our very way of life."
"Americans watching this address tonight have seen the recent images of violence in our streets and the chaos in our communities," he continued. "Many have witnessed this violence personally. Some have even been its victims."
"I have a message for all of you," he said. "The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon -- and I mean very soon -- come to an end. Beginning on January 20th 2017, safety will be restored."

One mans dark vision is another mans bright future.
I just can’t take these lunatics in the media any longer.
Notice, the propaganda ministry is on the same page: Dark speech, extremist, angry, etc. Interesting how they all say the same thing at the same time, isn’t it??
Dark only for those who live in darkness.
This appears to be a re-write of the “dark” article in the NYT.
Funny. I thought it was a very bright vision for the future.
America First is a dark vision for Dems
Who the heck writes liberal talking points?
What’s with this business of everyone today saying it was a “dark” speech???? How is it that so many media types use the exact same words to describe the speech???
And aren’t they guilty of plaigerism for using the same words??? We have been lectured by the liberals about plaigerism at this convention, so certainly those same liberals would not ever do anything like that. They certainly would attribute the “dark” terminology to whoever originated that language.
So they all got their “dark visions” talking points.
They’re seriously worried.
Dark, dark, dark.
“dark vision” - is that a dog whistle?
MSM found its meme.... good thing I no longer have to watch it now that the convention is histoire.
The “Dark Vision” memo obviously made the rounds of the MSM.
Limbaugh should have another one of his montages today.
Night is always darker before the dawn. A new day is dawning...

It wasn’t a dark vision, it was REALISTIC.
For Globalists International Citizens of the World, things are about to get darker than you ever imagined.
Notice they didn’t say how he is right. Only that it is dark.
Correct AND dark are no mutually exclusive.
What is dark to them is identifying the truth and the source of evil and stopping it- and it is all government-caused.
