Donald Trump's presidential acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday was "masterful," political strategist Dick Morris told
Newsmax TV.
"It was one of the great speeches I've ever heard in my life," Morris told host J.D. Hayworth on the "Newsmax TV Convention Special" in an interview. "It really made the pivot from partisan figure to a presidential leader.
Morris said that Trump emphasized the notion throughout his remarks that "I'll get it done."
"He's a builder. He's a doer. He can get it done. Get the damn thing built.
"You just got the sense of a guy who couldn't wait to get to work — who knows how to do it," he told Hayworth. "Just give me the damn ball."

Morris is author of the new book
"Armageddon: How Trump Can Beat Hillary" with Eileen McGann.
Trump also "explicitly" went after Bernie Sanders voters — and with terms the Vermont senator used, Morris said.
"He talked about how the system was rigged and was rigged by a handful of people, and Trump was wonderful in articulating that."
In citing statistics and presenting other data to support his positions, Trump "gave a rounded portrait of how this all wove together," Morris said.
"You could see him for the first time addressing you as president," he added. "You could see him in an Oval Office address.
"This was presidential at its best."
