It was like a speech supporting puppies.

Everyone likes puppies. Most of the things he talked about were solid. For example, relating the story of the Shoah victim who was literally on a train to death when the Americans stormed the train was fricking awesome event and made me proud to be American. I worked in Dachau post WWII processing Nazis. I’m a Jew. It’s a very personal moment to me. I cried.

And the economy is very good.

Freeing ourselves from Mid East oil is fantastic.

Criminal justice reform was great.

His moves against drug companies were good.

So, from that perspective, it was great.

But had little to nothing to do with Trump.

And that last line is our point.
