Wow.

Reading this speech almost brought tears to my eyes.
Tears of a different sort--disbelief, rage--may be found in some of the comments to the WSJ's posting of this transcript:

As the man says, his candidacy--even his Presidency, should he achieve it, which I now fervently hope--won't solve this problem. As some of those comments clearly demonstrate.
But _damn_, I admire his straightforward approach to actually hauling this out in the open.
