No different than Obama's Hope and Change theme, Hillary Clinton has no theme. Obama ran circles around her and if Trump can reign his id in he will do the same to her.

Do you have a link to the speech?
The US needs to stop thinking it has the right to impose their choice of Government on a foreign country. This led to the decades of isolation and problems for the US that Cuba's isolation posed. Along with the ME. If the US had not interfered there would be no Israel and no ME problems of this scale. Especially involving the West.
Signing trade deals with China and other Third World countries has cost the West more than anything. Empires are built on trade to the benefit of the countries who control the trade. It has only taken China 40 to go from starving to being #2 in the world. And on it's way to the #1 spot.
Trump won't change any of that without a lot of politicians agreeing to vote with him. Sadly like Obama, Americans will vote for a lot of opposing politicians because the money will flow to them, from the people who profit from war and cheap imports, and Americans are short sighted.
Europe has a very simialr problem with the EU. It's set up to benefit only the top 5%.
