It actually was in the transcript provided by CSPAN. I just used the search box to search for “magic wand” (seemed like a unique keyword) and found this massive unbroken paragraph. Of course it is. I had a pathologically narcissistic boss who wrote emails (and chat messages) like this.
I copied and pasted the whole thing (which was hyperlinked up the wazoo) first into a text editor to strip out the tags and pasted it here.
The poor closed-caption stenographer should file for worker’s comp.

I guess I missed this part. TWO unbroken paragraphs. Unless there’s more, but it has the money quote.
THANK YOU. I LOVE THIS STATE! I LIKE THIS PLACE. AND YOU ARE FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE BUT THIS HAS BEEN A GOOD ONE FOR ME. THINK OF IT. WE ARE AT 51%. DID YOU READ ABOUT IT, HEAR ABOUT IT? YOU DON’T HEAR ABOUT IT. THEY DO REGISTERED VOTERS INSTEAD OF, MOST LIKELY, IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKELY, IN OTHER WORDS, HOW ABOUT YOU? YOU ARE LIKELY TO VOTE. HOW ABOUT YOU? YOU ARE REGISTERED. BUT I’M NOT VOTING. UNDER THEIR PLAN, WHERE THEY SEND THESE BALLOTS, YOU DON’T HAVE TO WANT TO VOTE. YOU GET THE BALLOT, AND THEN THEY HAVE HARVESTING. THEY GET GUYS TO GO, YOU WANT TO VOTE? ? NOT REALLY, I HAVE A VALID – BALLOT. CAN I HAVE IT? THEY WILL TAKE IT. IN FACT, HARVESTING IS A LEGAL IN YOUR STATE. THEY WANTED TO PUT A REPUBLICAN, FINE MAN, A PASTOR, THEY WANTED TO PUT HIM IN JAIL BECAUSE HE HARVESTED. NOW THEY WANT TO MAKE HARVESTING LEGAL ALL OF A SUDDEN. THEY WILL PUT HIM IN JAIL AS A REPUBLICAN. AS A DEMOCRAT, THEY WOULD NOT BE THINKING ABOUT IT. . IN CALIFORNIA, THEY DO THE SAME THING. . NO REPERCUSSION. IN NORTH CAROLINA, YOU HAD A FINE PASTOR, A FINE MAN, AND THEY GOT HIM ON HARVESTING AND WANTED TO PUT HIM IN JAIL. NOW THEY WANT TO MAKE IT ALSO THAT EVERYBODY CAN HARVEST, BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT IS NOT A GOOD THING. SO PEOPLE THAT DON’T WANT TO VOTE WILL BE SITTING THERE, THEY WILL BE MAKING – IF YOU TALK ABOUT 80 MILLION BALLOTS, 80 MILLION, IT COULD NOT BE HIGHER THAN THAT. I USED TO SAY 51 MILLION. THEY SAID, SIR, YOU ARE OBSOLETE WITH THE 51. I SAID, WHAT IS IT? THEY SAID 80. I SAID, 80? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO THINK OF IT. THEY WILL BE DUMPING THEM IN NEIGHBORHOODS, PEOPLE WILL BE PICKING THEM UP, THEY WILL BE BRIBING AND PAYING OFF PEOPLE TO GRAB SOME. THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST SCAMS. AND IT IS COMMON SENSE. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. . IT’S COMMON SENSE. YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW POLITICS. THEY WILL MAIL OUT 80 MILLION BALLOTS. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE. THEY HAVE NO IDEA. WHO IS MAILING THEM? MOSTLY DEMOCRAT STATES AND DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS. SUPPOSING THEY DON’T MAIL THEM TO REPUBLICAN NEIGHBORHOODS? THAT MEANS THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GET THEM. SO THEY WILL COMPLAIN AND THE ELECTION WILL BE OVER AND THEN THEY WILL COMPLAIN AND THEY WILL SAY OH WELL, WE DIDN’T GET IT. IN THE MEANTIME, YOU MIGHT LOSE THE ELECTION. . THIS IS THE GREATEST SCAM IN THE HISTORY OF POLITICS, I THINK. AND I’M TALKING ABOUT BEYOND OUR NATION. AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY ARE AGGRIEVED. LIKE BY SAYING THIS, WE ARE SAYING SUCH A HORRIBLE THING. WE ARE NOT PATRIOTIC BY SAYING THIS. NO. WE VOTED DURING WORLD WAR I. WE VOTED AT THE VOTING BOARD – BOOTH DURING WORLD WAR II. THE PANDEMIC, WE ARE DOING VALID – VERY WELL AND PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT. LOOK AT THE CROWDS. THEY ARE DOING VERY WELL. IT’S VERY SAFE. IT’S GOING TO BE VERY SAFE. IF YOU HAVE AN ABSENTEE BALLOT WHERE YOU ARE REQUESTED, WE ARE ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT. ABSENTEE, LIKE IN FLORIDA. THEY HAVE ABSENTEE THAT IS GOOD. OTHER THAN THAT, THEY ARE VERY, VERY BAD. THERE WILL BE MILLIONS OF BALLOTS. TAKE A LOOK AT NEW YORK. TAKE A LOOK AT VIRGINIA. TAKE A LOOK AT NEW JERSEY. ALL DIFFERENT CASES. THEY JUST HAD ONE LAST NIGHT. NOW THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT RECALLING CERTAIN ELECTIONS THAT TOOK PLACE WITH MAIL AND. AND THESE ARE SMALL ELECTIONS THAT ARE LOCALLY BASED THAT ARE EASY TO RUN. NOT MILLIONS, BUT THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS. . THOUSANDS. HUNDREDS OF BALLOTS. BUT THESE ARE SMALL. THEY CAN’T CONTROL IT. THEY SAID 23% OF THE BALLOTS WERE DEFECTIVE. WHAT DOES DEFECTIVE MEAN? IT MEANS FRAUD. IT MEANS A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE WILL NOT GET INTO BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO BE ACCUSED. YOU SEE THE CAMERAS BACK THERE? [LAUGHTER] THE FAKE NEWS, I DON’T WANT TO BE ACCUSED OF ANYTHING. BUT WHAT IT MEANS IS THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION FROM THE REPUBLICANS. THAT’S WHAT IT MEANS. IN A VERY, VERY NICE WAY, THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION JUST LIKE THEY DID IT LAST TIME WITH SPYING. AND WE CAUGHT THEM. THAT INCLUDED PRESIDENT OBAMA. AND THAT INCLUDED, LET’S BE NICE. [LAUGHTER] THIS CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN NORTH CAROLINA. [LAUGHTER] BUT THAT INCLUDED THEM. AND I GOT CAUGHT. THEN SOMEBODY SAID WELL, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? WELL, WE CAN’T ATTACK A PRESIDENT. I SEE. IF IT WAS ME – [LAUGHTER] WE CAN’T ATTACK A PRESIDENT, WE CAUGHT HIM. WE CAUGHT HIM COLD. THEY SAY, WE CAN’T ATTACK. HE WAS AT MEETINGS TALKING ABOUT IT. BY THE WAY, THIS WAS SPYING BEFORE AND AFTER. I THINK IT IS A DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY. I THINK WE CAN NEVER LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN. BUT NOW THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING THAT IN A CERTAIN WAY, IS MORE DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS MORE EFFECTIVE. THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY FOUND? NOTHING. BUT THIS IS BIG STUFF. THIS IS STEALING MILLIONS OF VOTES. AND IT IS GOING TO BE VERY HARD. NOW WE ARE IN COURTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND HOPEFULLY WE HAVE JUDGES THAT ARE GOING TO GIVE IT A FAIR CALL. BECAUSE IF THEY GIVE IT A FAIR CALL, WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS ELECTION. THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN TAKE THIS ELECTION AWAY FROM US IS IF THIS IS A RIGGED ELECTION. WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS ELECTION. [APPLAUSE] I AM JUST SAYING WE CANNOT HAVE THESE MAIL-IN BALLOTS SENT TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING MOSTLY PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASK FOR THEM. THINK OF IT! HERE’S THE BOTTOM LINE. IT WAS JUST A GIVEN THAT, IN THE POLLS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AND THAT IS WHY I RESPECT HER AS MUCIN – WHY I RESPECT RAZ MUCIN – RASMUSSEN. IF YOU LOOK AT IT, EVERY SINGLE VOTE THAT THEY HAVE – EVERY SINGLE VOTE – IT IS GOING TO BE LOOKED AT. A MAN OR A WOMAN IS SITTING, WAITING FOR NOTHING, WATCHING TELEVISION, HAS NO ENTHUSIASM. BECAUSE ON ENTHUSIASM, THE POLLS ARE SAYING I AM UP BY MASSIVE NUMBERS. NOT JUST A LITTLE. I AM ALSO WAY UP ON THE ECONOMY, BY THE WAY. WHEN I SAY I AM UP, I AM TALKING ABOUT WE ARE UP. SO COME IF YOU COULD COME UP PLEASE. I AM UP BY MASSIVE NUMBERS ON A DOOZY AS HIM. – ON ENTHUSIASM. THEY ARE SAYING, I DO NOT CARE IF BIDEN GETS IT. HE HAS NO ENTHUSIASM. WHEN YOU GO TO OHIO, WISCONSIN, NORTH CAROLINA, A LOT OF STATES, THEY HAVE THE TRUMP-PENCE SIGN ON EVERY LAWN. IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. INDIANA TOO. INDIANA IS GREAT. WE LOVE BOBBY KNIGHT. I WILL TELL YOU. ALL OF THEM, THEY LOVE US COME IN WE LOVE THEM. INDIANA IS GREAT. THANK YOU. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY ENTHUSIASM, ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE? I WANT TO WATCH TELEVISION. ALL RIGHT. HERE IS A BALLOT. IT JUST GOT TO YOU. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH THIS THING? THEY HAVE SOMEBODY KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR AND THEIR HARVESTING – AND THEY ARE HARVESTING. HEY, HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOUR BALLOT? YEAH, I HAVE MY BALLOT. WHEN YOU SIGN IT? YEAH. GET OUT OF HERE. THAT IS UNFAIR. THEY ARE TAKING ALL THAT ENTHUSIASM OUR PARTY HAS, AND WE HAVE TREMENDOUS ENTHUSIASM, I THINK RECORD ENTHUSIASM. [APPLAUSE] WE HAVE A BASE THE LIKES OF WHICH NOBODY HAS SEEN, INCLUDING THESE PEOPLE. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL DID A FANTASTIC STORY THIS WEEKEND, A COVER STORY, ON THIS BASE. IT IS AN INCREDIBLE BASE. EVERYBODY HERE WILL VOTE. I MEAN, WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS BASE. THEY DO NOT. THEY HAVE NO ENTHUSIASM FOR THEIR CANDIDATE. FRANKLY, BERNIE SANDERS, THEY HAD MUCH MORE ENTHUSIASM FOR HIM. BUT BERNIE SANDERS, EXCUSE ME – AGAIN, HE IS THE GREATEST LOSER I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE GUY CAN LOSE AND HE IS SO HAPPY. HILLARY CLINTON – I WANT TO USE NICE LANGUAGE. I DO NOT WANT TO USE THE WORD THAT STARTS WITH S, C. THEY WILL SAY HE USES FOUL LANGUAGE. BUT BERNIE SANDERS GOT TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY HILLARY CLINTON, BUT WORSE, BY THE DEMOCRATS THIS TIME BECAUSE POCAHONTAS, ELIZABETH WARREN, GOT OUT OF THE CAMPAIGN ONE DAY PRIOR TO THE SUPER TUESDAY VOTE. BERNIE SANDERS WOULD HAVE ONE EVERY SINGLE STATE BECAUSE BIDEN ONE BY A LITTLE BIT. SHE DID NOT DO WELL, BUT SHE TOOK THOUSANDS OF VOTES AWAY. IF YOU ADD JUST A PERCENTAGE OF THOSE BOATS BACK, THAT MEANS – OF THOSE BOATS BACK, THAT MEANS BERNIE WOULD HAVE EASILY WON THE NOMINATION. I’M GLAD HE DIDN’T. HE HAD THE DOOZY AS HIM. A MUCH SMALLER BASE, BUT EQUALLY AS ENTHUSIASTIC. THEY DO NOT LIKE JOE BIDEN. I THINK WE WILL GET A LOT OF VOTES. PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF TRADE. I KNOW HOW OTHER COUNTRIES TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US AND I UNDERSTAND THAT AND THAT IS SOMETHING BERNIE SANDERS PEOPLE FEEL. I UNDERSTAND TRADE. I HAVE DONE USMCA NOW. I GOT RID OF NAFTA, THE WORST – [LAUGHTER] CHINA TARIFFS. CHINA HAD THE WORST YEAR. THE WORST YEAR THEY HAVE HAD IN DECADES AND DECADES AND WE HAD THE BEST YEAR WE HAVE EVER HAD, BUT WE TOOK IN BILLIONS OF FROM CHINA. WE NEVER TOOK IN $.10 FROM CHINA. THEY TOOK CHINA – AND NOT ONLY OBAMA – FOR 25 YEARS, CHINA WAS TAKING IN ANYWHERE BETWEEN $200 BILLION AND $550 BILLION FROM THE UNITED STATES. I GIVE THEM ALL THE CREDIT, NUMBER ONE, FOR BEING SMART AND OUTFOXING ALL THE PEOPLE THAT STOOD HERE AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, BUT CHINA WE HELP TO BUILD. WE GAVE THEM $500 BILLION A YEAR BECAUSE, BEFORE THAT, AND BEFORE THE WTO, CHINA WAS FLATLINED. CHINA – IT WAS AFTER THAT HAPPENED. AND THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF US BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE PEOPLE THAT WERE SMART ENOUGH TO SEE. AND BY THE WAY, BIDEN WOULD BE THE WORST OF ALL OF THEM BECAUSE HIS SON TOOK OUT $1.5 BILLION AND HE GETS FEES ON $1.5 BILLION. GIVE ME A BREAK. CHINA WILL OWN OUR COUNTRY IF THIS GUY GETS ELECTED. [APPLAUSE] SO, SO WE HAVE A BIG ONE COMING. AND JUST TO FINISH – ENTHUSIASM. THEY TAKE THE ENTHUSIASM OUT OF THE EQUATION BECAUSE THEY WILL KNOCK ON EVERYBODY’S DOOR. HERE, WOULD YOU SIGN THIS? NOBODY KNOWS WHO IS SIGNING THAT. THEY WANT TO HAVE IT WHERE THE SIGNATURE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE VERIFIED. THE SIGNATURE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE VERIFIED. HOW CAN – AND THEN THEY WILL PLAY THE GAME THAT WE ARE NOT PATRIOTIC. WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS USING COVID TO STEAL AN ELECTION.

Well if not better writing, certainly more coherent and with an adult level vocabulary.
Whose “American Dream” is he talking about?
The trolley-in-chief speaks again. From their point of view the election isn’t about policy, it’s about screwing over the other side. The GOP has completely morphed itself into the eternal “opposition party”, even when they are in power. Where do they stand on issues? Well, it depends on whatever the Democrats are proposing. The Affordable Care Act is the perfect example: they refused to take part in the crafting of the legislation, then complained they had no part in it when it passed, and yet it was modeled after an old GOP plan from the 90’s. Then they spent years holding votes against it knowing they never had the numbers to overturn it every time.

Not what I was expecting when he promised to build the wall (of text).

Exactly. If they accuse us of doing anything, it is only because they plan to do it first.

I’m voting for “Not poisoned by Putin once he outlives his usefulness, and begins to spill some beans about their interactions”…
Cheers & a heart for the transcription. (I did read enough to have a few laughs while shaking my head in pity and shame.)
