of all demographics for their health care and futures! He's preaching hope and justice! He is a one-man leader of liberty! This will be cut into every single campaign ad in the next two election cycles because
a) he puts it cleaner/clearer than our Democratic National Convention speeches did, and
b) people feel as if he's one-on-one with them as they watch.
