16. Wants it? He should just fucking TAKE it.

A speech that important is one that the public has the right to know.

17. Good

He needs to sell the shit out of this. It is easily his biggest accomplishment to date and something no one in their right mind should be against. He needs to come out strong and go on the offense. If the dems can use this to build a little momentum and then use that momentum to hammer the repubs mercilessly, they may be able to change the media narrative in their favor.
