For most of the past three decades my favourite American political speech has been Pat Buchanan's keynote speech at the RNC in Houston in 1992.
Maybe this recent effort from Tulsi Gabbard is better:
"Aloha. What a beautiful sight ........ I feel this sense of hope and inspiration and motivation because you know how serious the task at hand is ......
Our fundamental rights and freedoms, the principles of this great country are under attack ........ We are seeing the fundamental pillars of our democratic republic being undermined ........ It is not up to someone else to fight this battle to defend our freedom. It is up to every single one of us as Americans.
The Democratic Party ....... is now under the control of a cabal of elitist woke warmongers who are doing everything they can to destroy our freedom, to take away our constitutional rights, to divide us by racialising everything ........"
The reason I loved Pat Buchanan's culture wars speech is his brilliant oratorical clarity.
For me Tulsi Gabbard is just as good.

Quite a list of negs.
“Tulsi is no more a radical liberal than Trump was all his life before 2016.”
Bit of a s-t-r-e-t-c-h there, Trump never ran for president as a dem.
It may be a stretch, but there are millions of radical liberals who never ran for president.
It can be argued that Trump knew which political party to go with before he ran. And he guessed right.
Naw!
We need a strong/seasoned/solid conservative that will be there for us when the SHTF, someone like Mike Pence!
...wait, ummmm....
Never mind.
I’m not Gabbard‘s biggest fan. But I took a quick look at the source of that image. It evidently came from an internet image-making site. Which means that anyone could put anything on a list, then associate it with any picture.
She was the last person in the democrat party with any common sense, which is why she left the democrat party when it went complete commie instead of just a little commie. But she is still a leftist.
She’s good window dressing. Where’s the executive experience? Heavy lifting?
Come to think of it that’s all Obama was but then we can’t get away with it.
Where’s the barf alert?
She's a communist chameleon.
Not even that.
He lives in Australia, you know, the country that turned itself back into a penal colony.
And Bernie Sanders endorser.
Shape shifter just in time for the selection.
WEF.
Her recent youtube videos remind me of a lying/cheating EX trying to “sweet talk” her way out of consequences.
Tulsi. I’d like to trust her. I can’t. Too many gods in her religion.
She’s an opportunistic chameleon.
Quotes from Ronald Reagan’s “A Time for Choosing” speech:
the Cuban stopped and said, “How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to.” And in that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there’s no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.
Senator Fullbright has said at Stanford University that the Constitution is outmoded. He referred to the President as “our moral teacher and our leader,” and he says he is “hobbled in his task by the restrictions of power imposed on him by this antiquated document.”
A government can’t control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.
How many of us realize that today federal agents can invade a man’s property without a warrant? They can impose a fine without a formal hearing, let alone a trial by jury? And they can seize and sell his property at auction to enforce the payment of that fine. In Chico County, Arkansas, James Wier over-planted his rice allotment. The government obtained a 17,000 dollar judgment. And a U.S. marshal sold his 960-acre farm at auction. The government said it was necessary as a warning to others to make the system work.
The government can find some charge to bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute. Every businessman has his own tale of harassment.
This is a man[Barry Goldwater] who, in his own business before he entered politics, instituted a profit-sharing plan before unions had ever thought of it. He put in health and medical insurance for all his employees. He took 50 percent of the profits before taxes and set up a retirement program, a pension plan for all his employees. He sent monthly checks for life to an employee who was ill and couldn’t work. He provides nursing care for the children of mothers who work in the stores. When Mexico was ravaged by the floods in the Rio Grande, he climbed in his airplane and flew medicine and supplies down there.
An ex-GI told me how he met him. It was the week before Christmas during the Korean War, and he was at the Los Angeles airport trying to get a ride home to Arizona for Christmas. And he said that [there were] a lot of servicemen there and no seats available on the planes. And then a voice came over the loudspeaker and said, “Any men in uniform wanting a ride to Arizona, go to runway such-and-such,” and they went down there, and there was a fellow named Barry Goldwater sitting in his plane. Every day in those weeks before Christmas, all day long, he’d load up the plane, fly it to Arizona, fly them to their homes, fly back over to get another load.

Let’s face it: There is NO POLITICIAN good enough to be on Trump’s ticket. Nope, not one has the bonafides to be considered MAGA - not here in freeper land anyway.
So which is it going to be?: Melania or Don Jr?
Lol
Quotes:
I’ve also made an ironclad pledge to American families: We will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions. And we will always protect your Medicare and we will always protect your Social Security. Always.
The American patient should never be blindsided by medical bills. That is why I signed an executive order requiring price transparency. Many experts believe that transparency, which will go into full effect at the beginning of next year, will be even bigger than healthcare reform. It will save families massive amounts of money for substantially better care.
