Yes, it was substantive and, yes, it was political.
It was a strong defense of internationalism and a warning of the perils of Il Duce's America First Buchananism, both implicitly and explicitly rejecting the core isolationist idea shared by paleocons and libertarians alike that American commitment to collective security is some sort of unnecessary global altruism.
Later today, Trump spoke at a rally, and outside people carrying signs equating Hillary and Trump as stooges for corporate America and calling for socialism and political revolution physically attacked and severely beat several Trump supporters.
Actual Democrats thought it was a great speech.
Josh Marshall of course blames Trump, but you might as well blame him for Occupy, for the Baltimore riots, and for Seattle.
Look at the signs those clowns are carrying.
Not the Mexican flags, the signs about socialism, the signs equating Hillary and Trump as tools of Korporate Amerika.
They are the blockheads who truly share Bernie's own explicit views on our corporate, capitalist, rigged system so desperately in need of political revolution and socialism.
These are the clowns he pals around with.
