Yes, because I watched it and listened to it. I could see the faces in the crowd. They didn't get nearly as excited with Rudy as the did with Duncan Hunter when he suggested "Let's finish that fence!" and "As president, I will pardon" the i mprisoned Border Patrol agents. That, along with Wayne LaPierre, stirred the crowd much more than the bland Rudy speech.
