I have literal tears in my eyes… dare I say that Sec. Rubio was Presidential in his delivery, his message, his demeanor and poise, but most especially in his impact on what was presumably at least a less than fan-boy/girl audience at the outset.

An 'epic' speech, emblematic of true leadership! A Vance-Rubio Team is a very strong alliance that should help provide results from 2028 to 2036. True leadership for the next 10+ years is exactly what America needs, let's ensure that dynamic duo happens!!!

Wow. Secretary Rubio knocked it out of the park! He IS a statesman and I am so grateful that he is the current Secretary of State. President Trump chose wisely.

Yes indeed. And this is the thing no one has understood, because Trump communicates VERY differently than Reagan. But Trump learned deeply from Reagan, and once you see it, you realize it shows up in every aspect of our foreign policy. 

Reagan was not a realist in the Nixon-Kissinger sense, but he was certainly no liberal internationalist or neocon. His foreign policy is what I have been calling “Moral Realism”, and Trump is just expanding on it. It will make a better, more peaceful world, and everyone will be better off for it, even if some of them go kicking and screaming.

Marco put a more diplomatic face on what Trump says all the time in this speech. What the befuddled don’t get is that if Trump hadn’t shaken them up for the last year, this speech would not have been possible.

Thank you for clarifying the differences between the Reagan and Trump communication methods.

It honored history, confronted today’s challenges, and pointed toward a future where nations stand together to defend shared values.

Participation. Partnership. Purpose.

It was historical👏👏👏
