58. Beautiful speech!

I actually got choked up a little bit once it was finally over. It nearly brought tears to my eyes to see him offering inspirational words of wisdom and to see the crowd so enthusiastically listening and applauding!
He really laid everything on the table and elaborated on the Obama Derangement from the Right, and how our side's policies are superior to what they have to offer. I especially liked the part where he mentioned that there have been over 42M jobs since '61 under Democratic presidents, compared to 24M under Republicans. What he did there was that he made a factual, yet concise contrast--a contrast clear enough for the average low-info voter to comprehend.
