It is always interesting to see how the Independent voters rate the Presidential candidates speeches following their respective conventions. They have the least amount of bias since they don’t fall in line with a political candidate. Well the results of the latest speeches may leave some people shocked, to say the least.

As the Republican National Convention was first, we were able to hear Donald Trump’s acceptance speech first. Despite the media calling his speech “dark”, many people seemed to like it because he discussed what was going on in the United States. All he did was tell the truth.

Following that speech, the Democratic National Convention was next. Hillary Clinton had her speech which actually put her husband, Bill Clinton, to sleep. Well that should say everything about it. If her own husband couldn’t stay awake, then why should the rest of the country pay attention to what she has to say?

Following both of those speeches, the Independent voters started giving out grades. For Trump and the Republicans, the voters gave his speech a solid “B” rating. For Clinton and the Democrats, they gave her a “C-” grade. Everyone that has gone to school in the United States knows that a “B” is a lot better grade than a “C-“.

There is actually a lot to be said for those grades. Just throwing out the obvious observation, but Trump had the higher grade. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the Independent voters are going to automatically vote for him, it just means they liked his acceptance speech more.

That being said, it has to feel good for Trump and the Republicans to know that they scored a higher grade against Clinton and the Democrats. The Democrats tried very hard to downplay the significance of Trump’s speech. The Independent voters weren’t having any of it. They seemed to like what he had to say about the country and the state that it is in.

It should also be noted that the Independent voters didn’t like Clinton’s speech. That isn’t a good sign for the Democratic nominee. The key to any election is to see who the Independent voters vote for. Now granted the election isn’t until November and things can change, but the preliminary results do not look that well for the Democrats.

Share this article if you are agreeing with the Independent voters and their grade choices for both Clinton and Trump. Things can still change, but it is a strong start for the Republicans.
