If Trump says something kind, respectful and postive for everyone it would be great. [View all]

Reassuring and a helpful speech. The kind we would like...but...it will not be that kind of speech.

It will be full of threats and fear. I wish it were not, but that is what I think it will be. And some ugliness about those who want to enter the U.S. illegally. Yes, he will get all the ugly talking points in his 8 minute speech. It doesn't take much to make a mean and ugly speech.

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address lasted 3 minutes. So short speeches can be outstanding. But Trump will go on too long, even for 8 minutes. Much too long for Mr. Trump.
