Don't see how a tailored speech has any effect on your decision

A staunch conservative FB friend of mine agrees with you,

Quote from: DP via FB

"It's a real shame: had Trump acted for the past year as he did last night, he'd have my vote. Had he behaved last year as he did last night, he'd have my vote. Had he spoken last year as he did last night, he'd have my vote.

Don't get me wrong: I would still oppose many of his policies, but I'd agree with many more of them than I do with HRC's policies. And I'd think my candidate was so much more presidential and honorable -- and even compassionate -- than Hillary, who I despise.
Alas, it's too late. You practiced last night. Others wrote your speech. You used a teleprompter. And it was only one hour. Under *those* conditions, you did very well.

But when you're speaking from your heart, when you're just being yourself, when you're engaging with your most loyal supporters, you're anything but presidential, honorable and compassionate. To the contrary: you're petty and vindictive, you're mean-spirited, you're crude and vulgar, and worst of all, you're terribly bigoted.

So thanks but no thanks. It's too late for us now.

I liked the overall direction of the night as well. But I'm still undecided.
Let's see what the next few months bring.

No chance. He'd have been a face lost in the crowd.

It's not about Donald himself as a person. It's about his whole cabinet and his team.
They are nowhere near perfect or ideal, however they are the best option at the moment; and much better than anti-Israel and the unethical, email deleting, server-switching Clinton team.

Then wasn't his acting that way a good move?

A. I don't buy that's not him being himself.
B. So the ends justify the means?

And Donald was back to his bad ways this morning. Guy can't help himself.

Apparently I'm not the only one that thinks that SCOTUS nominations is what it's all about.

Who cares about scotus?
Imho the only thing that matters is the economy and security. For these the president has a large say.

Scotus is all about making serious decisions about whether men can go to the little girls rooms, killing babies, and other important stuff that affect this countries culture more than anything else. Occasionally of course they rule on things of economic importance but nothing too partisan anyway.

How about snooping on our phone calls. Is that important to you?

Nah. Economy and security. I guess that could have a security impact though.

Larry King thinks it was. Saw him saying that Trump is a good guy and not racist at all, known him for years. That's just about the best endorsement I've heard for Trump.
