Was able to stream it in it's entirety and it was an excellent speech. I only hope that his words hit home to many. It all comes down to one thing. VOTE.

I so appreciate him taking this extraordinary step and going out on a limb and making this speech.

If Trump watched, I guess there's no hope that he saw how a great leader speaks. He didn't speak fear or hate. He spoke of hope, responsibility, truth, and a whole basket full of positiveness.
