Not necessarily. What he didn't do was present a convention that you were hoping to see. What was presented was exactly what he wanted you to see. He tapped into the metaphors that reach his target constituent. He used language that was down to their level. He used theatrics that appealed to that type of voter. This was a very well constructed and messaged program based on the audience he was hoping to reach. Part of what draws this particular segment of the population is his ego and him being presented as strong man. This segment of the population believes in the strong patriarch leader and this is exactly what Trump portrayed in this convention.
Again, and this is you framing Trump as you hope him to be rather than accepting what he is, a sociopath. This isn't a show, this is what he is. Trump doesn't care for the process or the betterment of anyone but Donald Trump. Why do you think he offered the whole ball of wax, control of both the domestic and foreign policy, to His possible running mates? He just said wants the title and position to extend his sphere of influence, not be part of the process. The guy is a sociopath. Textbook DSM 5 sociopath. He is presenting messaging campaigns that he believe will help him achieve his end goals, and based on the resolve of his supporters, he's achieving that goal.

I'm not framing him as anything I'm staying if he were trying to manipulate people and is different then the persona we see his actions would be different, since he didn't change is shows There is no master genius. This is trump. He's essentially just a slick talking con man.
