Acceptance speeches are easy. With candidate input, the greatest speech writers spend weeks crafting the perfect message. The candidate has ample time to practice, and can read from a teleprompter.
Virtually all acceptance speeches are excellent. Even Sarah Palin gave a great speech. I was certain Trump would do no less. I was so pleased to be surprised. The Trump speech was unstructured, overly long, dark and policy impaired. Whatever content there was died for lack of context and flow. His shouting delivery did not help.
Great Broadway Musicals, leave you singing, or at least humming, a tune. A good acceptance speech leaves you with a line. Even Palin had her pit bull/lipstick line. The Trump speech had nothing.
