THEspeech

Say what you will about the candidates for president. But, this speech is the best of my adult lifetime on race. period. I've waited for a public figure to be this honest for about 14 years. I don't know if it wins any votes. I don't know if he's going to win. But this is on another level. Even Charles Murray (of the bell curve) was impressed.

  2. not sure about pre-primary [tho i suppose i'd be down for a roadtrip anywhere] but i am definitely ready to commit to a get out the PA-vote trip spanning the 21st&22nd... lets load up the minivan and rollout for the future of our democracy.

  3. What an intelligent, insightful, and complex statement on a subject most politicians are terrified of even addressing in anything but the most infantile terms.

    Yes, We Can.

  4. That was good and all, but really, 40 minutes?

    He should have just said "I'm the decider" and given a thumbs up. Preferably while wearing an astronaut's uniform. Much more presidential that way.
