49. Best speech by any candidate or president in my lifetime EVER!

Nov 2015

The only speeches I can think of that compare to this one (watched the whole thing last night), are Ike's farewell speech and FDR's 2nd Bill of Rights speech, which this speech is built around. Wow! Maybe there were some Bobby Kennedy speeches i have not heard that were as good. RFK made some really amazing speeches, especially the one on standing down in the cold war (that likely was the final straw that got him killed), but even he didn't say all the taboo things about the economic royalty that Bernie lays out in this speech. Again, best speech i think since FDR's 1937 speech!
