President Trump’s stem-winding speech before conservative supporters Saturday provided a rhetorical road map for the next 20 months as the president makes his re-election pitch to voters.

To be sure, Trump’s remarks before the Conservative Political Action Conference, which ran more than two hours, had all the markings of a classic Trump speech, with knocks on “crooked” Hillary Clinton, prompting chants of “lock her up,” gripes about what Trump said was inaccurate coverage of the crowd size at his inauguration more than two years ago, and denunciations of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
