Donald Trump did not make a "dark" speech at the Republican National Convention because he "basically hit all the buttons of all the problems that we face today in America," political commentator Michael Reagan told
Newsmax TV on Friday.
"He also, in doing that, hit all of the groups that all these government programs have in fact failed to do anything for," Reagan," Reagan told "The Hard Line" host Ed Berliner in an interview.
"If they consider that dark, it's only dark because the national media refuses to in fact go out and tell these groups of people the failures of government in their lives, even though they promised them everything but the moon.
"That's why they probably think that what Donald Trump did last night was dark," he said.
"What Donald Trump needs to do now is convince people outside of Cleveland, outside of that convention that he in fact can solve the problems he discussed in his speech."
