This was a speech built entirely around key voting blocks.
He specifically spoke to inner city dwellers, union workers, coal miners, African-Americans, LGBT, law enforcement, disenfranchised Bernie Sanders supporters and Democrats in general. His daughter covered single moms and working moms, using Democrat talking points.
He did acknowledge along the way the "three-legged stool" of fiscal, defense and social conservatives.
Deduction: His internals must be showing he can draw Democrats across, if he can offer some common ground.
I've been saying that the question many conservatives are asking is "Please give me just one good reason that I can feel okay voting for you. Please."
Tonight would suggest that many Democrats may be asking "Please give me one good reason that I can feel okay voting for you -- because I sure don't want to vote for Hillary."
Conclusion: He could actually win this thing with surprising numbers. Numbers that standard polling will not elicit.

This country is not based on hate and division, and that's what Trump represents.
There's too many video's of him out there that are continually going to be put in the faces of Americans. Plus I imagine that Hillary Clinton and the DNC has WMD on him, that they have yet to expose. After all Clinton wanted either Trump or Cruz as the nominee, and she got her wishes.
This article says it all:
"Okay, all you conservatives who supported Donald Trump before he officially became the Republican Party’s official nominee last night: Now, you own him. He’s all yours.
When he again spouts asinine or even vicious nonsense — like belittling tortured POWs from Vietnam, likening an opponent to a child molester, smearing an innocent reporter, making fun of another reporter’s disability, or insinuating that another opponent’s father conspired to kill JFK — he’s all yours.
When he again evinces sheer ignorance of basic policy questions, he’s all yours — and when he does worse, such as advocating nukes for Saudi Arabia or the dissolution of NATO, he’s all yours then, too.
If, as seems likely, his tax returns are leaked, and if they contain all sorts of embarrassing revelations about (to name a few hypotheticals) lack of charity, lack of earnings, questionable tax dodges, or unsavory associations, you own him.
If, as seems likely, more damning documents or evidence emerge from the court case alleging that Trump University was an
utter con job, you own him.
If, as seems possible, horrid information emerges relating to
the suit alleging that Trump is a child rapist — even if not proving that allegation, but showing a strong likelihood that he knowingly took part in Epsteinian parties where teenagers were openly doing wildly inappropriate things — well, you own that, too.
If, as seems likely, his unprofessional campaign fails to produce the organization or money needed not just to keep Hillary Clinton from the White House,
but even to provide an image of Republican leadership decent enough to keep the GOP from getting wiped out in the Senate, the House, and other races down ballot, yes, you own that also. (Here’s predicting that he loses in November by near
-Goldwateresque margins.")
