Donald Trump recently came to Nashville to speak to a national meeting of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies.

I attended this meeting and I was impressed by Donald Trump's performance. He was very charismatic in person and it was very clear that many in the audience absolutely loved him.

In this podcast I review Donald Trump's speech and identify some lessons I think Republicans could learn from Trump's candidacy.

These lessons include:

* Make personal connections
* Tell stories to make your point.
* Stop making excuses and get it done.
* Flip your opponents arguments
* Talk to the average voter
* Don't be afraid to call out the press
* Support law and order

 

I am not personally supporting Mr. Trump, but I can certainly understand his appeal to many Republicans.  I believe Mr. Trump will be in the race for a long time.
