So, to address the criticisms of this speech:
-It delves too much into details: This is the chance for uninformed and misinformed voters to learn about Trump’s platform directly from him instead of through the distorting media. (per Fast Eddie)
-It’s too long and tiring: Maybe for some. But that will prevent them from spending too much time on CNN shit analyses. (per Fast Eddie) For many others, including Bernie people, it was absorbing and invigorating, hitting many right resonating notes that they want to hear.
-Other speakers have covered many of the grounds in this speech: Most voters don’t care, don’t watch other speakers.
-It spends too much time on the negative: The populace is in a negative mood. Dissatisfaction rate is 70%+, and there were many tragedies happening in a short time before the convention (Orlando, Dallas, Nice, Baton Rouge). So Trump was tapping into that mood. And contrary to the impression produced by shill tv analysts, the positive parts did not escape people. Overall, Trump's message of crisis and demand for change ride on the anti-establishment sentiment very well.
-The volume is too loud and it scares people: This is a double-edged sword. For some it’s scary. For others it channels strength, conviction and authentic righteous indignation, and hence boost morale. If the post-speech poll says anything, it’s that the pros outweigh the cons. Historically it's not only men but also women that are electrified and enchanted by such powerful speaking style, especially in times of distress. The current political atmosphere lends efficacy to such style. Also don't forget that Bernie Sanders was an yelling old man and that earned him millions of fanatical devotees.
-Trump should have soften his approach and pivot to the center: This is a gamble that will prove to pay off well. Staying true to his platform has its benefits. In times of crisis people long for radical measures and strong men of conviction who stay firm to their vision and principle - that's also Bernie Sanders' appeal, which he has lost by endorsing Hillary and his disenfranchised fans are finding their new champion in Trump. Americanism over Globalism – this credo appeals to ingroup identity and proved to be resonating with Americans who have until now been misled by the media, as the survey shows.
Tldr: It's anti-establishment Bernie people that Trump's targeting, more so than scared-cat pro-status quo Hillary female voters, and his strategy in this speech serves that purpose well.
