It was Barry at his best!

Funny, moving, inspiring.

“You know, the Donald is not really a plans guy. He’s not really a facts guy, either.”

"He calls himself a business guy, which is true, but I have to say, I know plenty of businessmen and women who’ve achieved remarkable success without leaving a trail of lawsuits and unpaid workers and people feeling like they got cheated."

"Does anyone really believe that a guy who’s spent his 70 years on this Earth showing no regard for working people is suddenly going to be your champion? Your voice? Hey, if so, you should vote for him."

"America is already great. America is already strong. And I promise you, our strength, our greatness does not depend on Donald Trump"

.(LAUGHTER)

"In fact, it doesn’t depend on any one person. And that, in the end, may be the biggest difference in this election, the meaning of our democracy."

 "America has changed over the years. But these values that my grandparents taught me, they haven’t gone anywhere…What makes us American, what makes us patriots is what’s in here. That’s what matters. […]

That’s why our military can look the way it does, every shade of humanity, forged into common service. That’s why anyone who threatens our values, whether fascists or communists or jihadists or homegrown demagogues, will always fail in the end."

"Ronald Reagan called America “a shining city on a hill.” Donald Trump calls it “a divided crime scene” that only he can fix.

It doesn’t matter to him that illegal immigration and the crime rate are as low as they’ve been in decades, because he’s not actually offering any real solutions to those issues. He’s just offering slogans, and he’s offering fear.

He’s betting that if he scares enough people, he might score just enough votes to win this election.And that’s another bet that Donald Trump will lose.

And the reason he’ll lose it is because he’s selling the American people short.

We are not a fragile people, we’re not a frightful people. Our power doesn’t come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order as long as we do things his way. We don’t look to be ruled."

Republicans weren’t entirely delighted with the speech, especially the contrast between Ronald Reagan’s rhetoric and Trump’s.
