On a purely political level, he controls his own narrative and sells his strengths. His message was clear - Freedom, Democracy, Security.
On a purely personal level, I was surprisingly moved. The fact a major candidate can thank God, his family and his husband on television was inspiring. Not as a gay man, but as an American where I have had heard nothing but anger and fear since this President was elected.
Critics say that America is a lie because its reality falls so short of its ideals. They are wrong. America is not a lie. It is a disappointment. But it can only be a disappointment because it is also a hope.
