This campaign speech (prepared speech delivered using teleprompter) video of Clinton makes very strong allegations against Trump's campaign of siding with racist, white supremacist, and paranoid elements referred to as Alt-Right (Alternative Right which is extreme right wing) of the USA. Readers/viewers who prefer to avoid such stuff may please ignore this post.

Ravi: Some standout sentences for me from the speech:

Ever since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, America has distinguished itself as a haven for people fleeing religious persecution.
...
Alt-Right is short for "Alternative Right. The Wall Street Journal describes it as a loosely organized movement, mostly online, that "rejects mainstream conservatism, promotes nationalism and views immigration and multiculturalism as threats to white identity."
...
When I was growing up, Simone Manuel [Ravi: black USA swimmer] wouldn’t have been allowed to swim in the same public pool as Katie Ledecky [Ravi: white USA swimmer]. Now they’re winning Olympic medals as teammates.
...
Let’s stand up against prejudice and paranoia.

Let’s prove once again, that America is great because is America is good.

Please note that I have a PUBLICLY NEUTRAL informal-student-observer role in these posts that I put up about the USA presidential elections. Of course, as I am an Indian citizen living in India, there is no question of me voting in these elections.
