25. I wouldn't expect

this type of speech to contain specifics on policy. It's too early in the campaign for that. At this point, a politician should be expected to speak in more general terms about two things: what inspires him/her to run now, and the general direction he/she wants to move the country in.

More specifics on policy will come soon enough. I don't think any candidate for president can avoid addressing the President's proposed trade policy after next week. That should be interesting.

Hey, I notice that one of the shadows that often appears on your OP/threads has left its bitter mark on mine here. Gracious.
