To me he sounded way out in left field and would not accept anything other than victory. It's not the way it works.
I would have like to have seen him tie together the emails/clinton foundation/quid pro quo so people could understand how clinton is a criminal. I think this is the strongest argument why she should not be president. Point out that while she was suppose to be SoS she let 4 people die so she could extort money from her position.
He could have plainly said "Clinton says I encourage violence at my rallies, but operatives from her campaign were sent to my rallies to instigate violence". He mentioned tapes, but it was not very clear to me what his point was, even though I knew about the footage already.
Lastly, I wish he would have looked into the camera at the end when he had the last say, and talked to the American people. He should have said "if you are happy with the path america is heading, vote for Hilary, she is offering more of the same. If you think our foreign policy is right, immigration policy, trade policy, government health care, attack on the constitution, appointing of radical judges, tax policy, economy, jobs, crime and race relations are where they need to be in 2016, vote for hilary. If you want real change from someone that does not owe his presidency to big cash donors and political favors, someone that owes his presidency to the people of the USA, please vote for donald trump. I will make you glad you did."
and to add, I wish he would have tried to connect with the tv audience at the end. to me he seemed like a bitter old man

I'm kind of relieved to read a response from this side that isn't just pure lunacy, thank you for that. I think most of us here would welcome a candidate that challenged the old garb that keeps getting elected from both sides and pushed around and manipulated by their corporate backers. This would have been the perfect time to take them down, as hillary, essentially, is a weak candidate overall. But the failures to produce a republican candidate lies with the fault of the party more than just trump here. Trump played the hand he was dealt perfectly to get the nomination, but if they put up some REAL candidates in the first place he wouldn't have had a chance and the republicans would walk away with this election. So now, win or lose, someone is going to get elected that is not what the american people want or need and they will be elected by 'team sport' loving fanatics instead of people who want legitimate changes moving forward.
Also, it didn't help that trump has lunatics championing his name so loudly the way they do--it's kind of political suicide. If anything, he should have had his people quiet them down, distance himself from them and just push specific IMPORTANT issues instead. A perfect example is this board. The local insane asylum opened up wide here, so guys like you get over shadowed by people talking about election rigging, conspiracy nonsense and racial rants instead of actual issues.
