I agree it was a great speech, but I disagree vociferously there wasn't any politicking in it. There was a lot of that, and we can't lose sight of why he gave the speech to begin with--and to whom he needed to address it.

That last part especially, I'm not sure he really reached out to them.

But he likely won't lose his core support. I say likely, because a lot of people, my husband included, haven't heard, seen, or read anything yet about the You Tube videos, the controversy, etc.
