(CNN) - President Donald Trump traveled to western Pennsylvania Saturday night on a rescue mission: State Rep. Rick Saccone (R) is fighting for his political life in a House special election on Tuesday and the President's visit was aimed at rallying the GOP base in a district he won by 20 points in 2016.
Trump's speech --- largely unscripted -- ranged (and raged) for more than an hour, and barely mentioned Saccone until the end when Trump handed Saccone the mic and allowed him to say a few words. It felt more like a therapy session -- with Trump venting and attacking his enemies -- than a political rally. I went through the entire transcript and pulled out the most memorable lines. They're below.
1. "Hello Pittsburgh. Hello Pittsburgh." "Hello Cleveland!"
2. "And a lot of steel mills are now opening up because of what I did." Trump signed the steel tariff measure on Thursday. So, that's, um, fast work.
3. "Pennsylvania is the state that gave us the 45th president of the United States."
This is beyond third person. It's like fourth person, says a reporter for CNN.
4. "A lot of evil. A lot of bad people. A lot of bad people."
This is Trump talking about Washington. It's a throwaway line, but think about what he is saying here. It's not just that there are people who disagree with him in Washington. It's that these people are bad, they are evil. Rhetoric like this has consequences. I think Trump knows that but doesn't really care because it works for him.

It IS amusing to see them with their panties all in a wad over absolutely EVERYTHING Trump says or does.
CNNN:
Constant Nattering nabobs of negativism
Life is the standard of value. Commies are antilife. Being antilife is evil. Commies are evil
2. “And a lot of steel mills are now opening up because of what I did.” Trump signed the steel tariff measure on Thursday. So, that’s, um, fast work.
CNN has no problem demonizing “deplorables.”
It’s only when their fellow travelers are exposed that they object.
Oh no, Clintzilla has chimed in. Trump’s outrageous, lol.
The plant official on the news said that it was directly attributable to Trumps action.
CNN addressing ‘supposed’ outrageous behavior by others,... now that’s funny.
“Creepy” Chris Cillizza chimes in.
That first line cracks me up.
And I’m a former Browns fan.
Hey CNN, who murdered Seth Rich.
And why?
The covfefe is strong at CNN.
Peckerhead Chris Cillizza.
The beauty of these kinds of “articles” is that they are presented haughtily, to turn the reader against the President.
But they have the opposite effect, because normal people know exactly what Trump is talking about - and are aggravated at being condescended to.
Ergo: Cuck FNN...
“It’s that these people are bad, they are evil. Rhetoric like this has consequences.”
Unlike the hateful rhetoric that comes from CNN directed towards, Trump, anyone who supports Trump, the NRA, and conservatives in general.
Chris Cillizza is angry at the President for announcing good economic news, for showing a self-depecrating sense of our and announcing his re-election theme is to Keep America Great.
They hate Trump at CNN. But outside their bubble, America loves Trump. Outrageous, indeed.
It wouldn’t be necessary to accuse Trump of lying if he didn’t get a lot accomplished in a year. That’s exactly what terrifies the Left. That Trump will be an effective President.
And last night, in PA, he was just getting started.
20. "I was watching, during the campaign, and Hillary was sitting right there, and Pocahontas was up, she was so angry, you know, I think she's losing the audience."
I loved Trump’s speech last night. Replaying it right now...
