Donald Trump delivered a passionate speech tonight in Roanoke Virginia defining the anti-establishment movement that empowers the Trump presidential bid:

[Transcript] Thank you. It’s wonderful to be here in Virginia, a state where I have so many great friends and wonderful employees.
Tremendous polls keep coming in. A brand new Rasmussen poll has us up 5 points nationwide.
On November 8th, we are going to win this state and we are going to win the White House.
We are going to take on the big donors, and big business, and big media – we are going to take on the rigged system that has shipped America’s wealth to other countries.
We are going to replace our failed and corrupt establishment with a new government that serves you, your family, and your country. (more…)
