CNN report
Appealing at the outset for Bernie Sanders' supporters to dump Hillary and support him, Trump's speech was every attack Bernie ever made on the Clintons, Hillary's and Obama's foreign policy disasters, the corrupt Democratic Party, free trade, open low-wage immigration, contributions to the Clinton Fund from Wall Street and individual big time plutes for whom good things were done in return, all delivered in the style of Benito Mussolini.
Add in truths, half-truths, and lies about Benghazi and post-Orlando charges that Hillary is taking huge amounts of Fund money from the most fanatical, anti-gay, anti-woman Muslim regimes and wants to admit hundreds of thousands of effectively unvetted Muslims from the most dangerous parts of the world, thus making LGBTs in particular and Americans in general less safe from terrorism.
Add in standard Republican bromides about Iran and nukes, withdrawal from Iraq enabling the birth and spread of ISIS, and Hillary's refusal to speak of the threat as radical Islam, a charge he inoculated against Islamophobia immediately by coupling it with assurances of sympathy for the hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world who are the victims of terrorism and Jihad, and who just want to live in peace.
And then he pivoted to his positive program, mostly economic, and mostly promises of unicorns.
He drew blood.
