August 19, 2015: GOP Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump gave his first town hall meeting tonight in Derry, New Hampshire. He spoke for a while and took questions from the audience.
For those who missed it in the live stream. He was definitely on tonight, ya think?

Thanks for the link. Just watched the whole thing. His solution for Bergdahl was the best... bing, bong. Funny stuff.
Maybe Cruz could use a few of your pointers instead.The #1 Must-see Filibuster of the Year: TEXAS TED AND THE CONSERVATIVE CRUZ-ADE
BFD, he still has yet to accomplish anything as a Senator. And you think he would make a good president based on what? Talk?
He mentioned the preformed concrete used for parking garages, freeway overpasses - that would be pretty hard to tear down and would go up pretty fast where terrain allowed. I don’t know if that would be his actual solution but it sure sounded good to me. :)
When only one candidate can tell me he believes in all the values I believe in, then, yes, talk is important.
Trump hasn’t even accomplished getting elected dogcatcher yet, so what makes you think he can get elected president? Talk?
The wall would be like building a 4 lane highway as far as work effort and material. I’m pretty sure the country that put men on the moon can get it done and keep it on budget.
I'm very pleased to hear those words coming form you!
First time I came across Trump’s people skills was through Golf Channel. They had a 1 hour special with Trump chairing a meeting of about 100 managers of his world wide golf resorts. He was masterful in encouraging them to perform the best they could without sounding like a dictatorial boss.
A long video; but if you want to get to know our next President personally, this is a good one.
I’m a Cruzer, but, wow! That guy is fun to watch!
Trump has hired more people and signed their paychecks on the front than all 537 politicians in Washington DC COMBINED..
Trump has personally built enormous buildings, skating rinks, golf resorts, hotels, retail shops etc. more than all the 537 politicians in Washington DC COMBINED.
Yes not much of an accomplishment. /S
What have the professional politicians done except live off the government feeder trough? Did they send a bill to defund Obamacare to Obozo? Did they defund any of Obozo’s executive orders? All talk and no action!
Sounds good doesn’t it?
I’m not defending the people who voted no on defunding Obama’s actions.
I’m supporting the one who did do that.
Success in the private sector does not mean someone will be a success being a politician or an elected official. Ask John Corzine and Arnold Schwarzenegger about that.
Enjoyed his comments about Oreos and Nabisco moving to Mexico. Even libs can relate to Oreo cookies. He does bring world issues to the local kitchen table where people can link to them in a personal way.
Darrell Issa is the wealthiest member of Congress, but you still seem to think “they’re all” doing a bad job.
Jessica Alba’s company is worth over a billion. Would you vote for her for President?
Corzine? He was a corrupt employee in the position of CEO who was caught for breaking laws. He was basically a paper shuffler in a Wall Street bank. What has he built in main street economy?
Schwarzenegger? What has he built? Acting in movies does not mean he knows anything about main street economy.
Yours is a very good analysis, I think. One dynamic that is aiding him as he points out the faults of his GOP opponents is that no one likes virtually all of them.
He’s not going to offend anyone going after Bush, that’s for sure, in fact, he’s going to have people cheering him.
I also have trust issues with him, I am still a Cruz supporter, however, I will speak honestly on what I think and see, and I do not think that Cruz has the X-factor that Trump clearly has.
Trump is extremely good in a room of people, he is a charismatic individual, and he is not scripted. He is talking directly to you, faults and imperfections included. He’s unfiltered.
I also agree that he is better in that venue than the debate, but frankly, I thought that debate sucked. I could not learn anything about anyone in that format, though I was really only paying attention to Trump and Cruz, and I did notice Carson as well, but I do not intend to support Carson.
Whereas I did not previously think that I would ever vote for or consider voting for Trump, I no longer feel that way.
He is catching my attention.
Jessica Alba has employed people? Created main street economy jobs? Being rich is NOT why Trump is good. He is good because he has huge accomplishments in real world main street economy.
Darrel Issa, because he is from main street economy, is a better legislator.
PC was only about shutting up the political opposition but has bled
off into the public mind. This must be refreshing to many, as they're
watching Trump unfold, uninhibited.
Alba co-created the Honest Company now worth 1.7 billion. So, yes, she created many jobs.

Jessica Alba for President!
