Cleveland: The following is a selection of reaction on Twitter to New York billionaire Donald Trump's speech on Thursday accepting the Republican Party nomination for president:

Bernie Sanders, former candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination

@BernieSanders

Trump: "I alone can fix this." Is this guy running for president or dictator?
Laura Ingraham, conservative host of the Laura Ingraham Show

@IngrahamAngle

This is @realDonaldTrump broadening the base of the GOP. The inner city will no longer be neglected. They have suffered under Obama.
Stephen King, author

That wasn't a convention. It was something closer to a lynch mob. Republicans, you should hang your heads in shame.
Ari Fleischer, former White House spokesman for President George W. Bush

@AriFleischer

For everyone saying this speech is "too dark", remember - 69pc of the nation thinks the USA is on the wrong track. Many will agree w Trump.
Hillary Clinton, Democratic presidential nominee

@HillaryClinton

We are better than this.
David Duke, former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan

@DrDavidDuke

Great Trump Speech, America First! Stop Wars! Defeat the Corrupt elites! Protect our Borders! Fair Trade! Couldn't have said it better!
Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion

I've heard this sort of speech a lot in the last 15 years and trust me, it doesn't sound any better in Russian.
Michelle Malkin, conservative blogger

Trump is addressing the real concerns of people ignored outside the Beltway by both parties. Elites find this "depressing," apparently.
Meghan McCain, daughter of Republican Senator John McCain

@MeghanMcCain

The party I was part of is dead.
Michael Cohen, Boston Globe columnist

@speechboy71

This is the bleakest, darkest, most fascistic speech I've ever heard delivered by an American politician
Bill Kristol, founder of the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard

@BillKristol

Trump's speech wasn't a speech in the normal sense, with pace & rhythm & argument. It was a shouted series of assertions. Which might work.
