I thought this might be worth seeing on its own rather than as an update to my previous post on TDS. Aside from this being a speech that puts the state of New York into play in November, it has clearly been worked on by others in his foreign policy team. It is both sophisticated and measured, but it is also from the heart. For a change, a conviction politician in the mould of Margaret Thatcher, but someone, also like her, who can get things done and is every inch a conservative. It’s less than half an hour long, and here you will discover a Donald Trump you have not seen before.

UPDATE: From The American Spectator, which begins with the now pro forma declaration of a preference for Cruz: Republicans: Who are You?. And this is the choice. First on the Republican side:

The people who attend Trump rallies and vote for him generally are conservative — fiscally and culturally. They hate big government, they are highly patriotic and wave flags, they hate taxes, affirmative action, gun control, government debt, climate change deals that destroy American jobs, ‎government waste, welfare, political correctness, trade deals they think give away the store, and illegal immigration. They are people who work for a living, are economically stressed out, and see what Obama has done to America economically and culturally and they don’t like it at all. You’d be surprised how many blacks, veterans, soccer moms, and legal immigrants you see at a Trump rally.

And then there is Hillary:

Now many in the party are making the absurd argument that even Hillary Clinton in the White House would be better than Trump.

Huh? This is the Hillary Clinton that wants to raise tax rates to 50 percent or more, is in favor of abortion on demand with no exceptions, wants trillions of dollars of new spending and debt, would shut down America’s oil and gas and coal production, will double down on Obamacare, and was the architect of the disastrous Obama foreign policy of leading from behind. Other than that, apparently, she’s conservative enough.

These independent think-for-themselves types who call themselves conservative but would vote for Hillary give me the impression they have never thought anything not first endorsed by the ABC.
