Witches' Spell of Binding, Get This, Fails

Mostly Trump's getting raves, except from the bitterest of Bitter-Enders. Per a CBS Poll, 76% of those who watched it approved of the speech. Per CNN, 57% had a strongly positive reaction to it (and another 18% were "somewhat positive"), and nearly 7 in ten felt the speech made them more "optimistic" about the future, and that the country would be moving in a positive direction.

Update: I overslept and missed the Blue Checkmark Mafia's Daily Freakout, but I imagine this is right:

The thing that has to happen now, like it always does, is that these people will begin explaining how Trump appealed to the stupid and racist, and how the minority of people, The Smart Ones, can see past through this, but The Dumb Ones can't.

Which will further endear them to the general public.

And actually, of course, you'll see even more snottiness from the #NeverTrumper TrueConservative Crying Eagle Wing.

Right on Cue:

People who liked the speech cannot tell reality from fantasy. Only our brave media class and their swell Hollywood friends can.
