Maybe so, troll. I have been amongst his detractors. I condemned him roundly. And for good reasons.

I think the history of the hour has opened up a side of him that he didn't know was available, and changed him substantially.

Anyway, whatever the reasons, he has changed significantly and he did a fine job delivering an absolutely extraordinary speech of well crafted rhetoric encapsulating very hard-thought-out policy. Reasoned, persuasive, compassionate and fierce at the right places. A tour de force, which surprised me completely.

So more power to the man for having stood up when he was needed and answered up well. Hope he can make it stick.
