There's nothing like clarity of mind. His voice is going - needs some water and mints.
Damn he's good.

The juxtaposition to The Moron's lying about throwing rocks and shooting at immigrants (they showed that clip immediately after Obama's speech) is like night and day.

Hearing what a real President sounds like made me cry like a baby. Almost 70 years old and I was brought to tears by Obama's campaign speech for Gillum. Our country is so much better than Donald Fucking Trump! Hope and love trumps anger and hate. I can't abide Trump's hateful rhetoric and racism anymore. Fuck you Donald. Next January, when the new Democratic majority is sworn in, Donald Trump's reign of terror comes to an END!

But one of his earlier dismissals of a heckler was to ask "If you like the other guy so much, then why are you at my rally?"

He was great.
Loved when he asked the other one why they are so angry. I howled with laughter.
He just picked off their fragile wings point by point.

I don't watch him live and I can barely tolerate the clips.
I'm truly tired of this dangerous ignoramus.
Vote them out and Lock him up.

with a bit of a worried look on his face at the beginning. But then when Obama got warmed up, Gillum relaxed, and then when Obama hit his peak, Gillum was ecstatic.

I watched the whole thing and it gave me hope. Like we can win Florida.

This is how to handle a heckler BTW. Not threatening to punch him out or encouraging anyone else to punch him. Just make fun of him. It takes brains to be funny, to defeat your opponent with humor. trump doesn't have the brains to formulate an argument against the hecklers or defeat them with humor. All he can do is threaten them with violence.
