Trump Now Plays 'Born in the U.S.A.' At His Rallies

He couldn't be drawing attention to a certain Texas senator, could he?

When political candidates play Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." at their campaign rallies, you can usually assume they've never listened to the lyrics. But Donald Trump's apparent decision to add the 1984 tune his warm-up music bespeaks a certain political savvy.

Trump will stop this Cruz bashing immediately after the Iowa voting.

[Crazieman]

Not funny, Donald.

[conservativejoy]

Not surprising. It has always been played at Democrat rallies.

[proust]

Barely counts as bashing. Yet people will squeal.

[A CA Guy]

Springsteen will demand it be pulled anyway.

[proust]

Like when Reagan used it? lolz.

[goodwithagun]

I bet that really chaps Springsteen’s ass.

[proust]

Springsteen complaining about Trump will only help his numbers.

[FreedomGuru]

Bad choice Trump

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Donald wants to win Iowa with no boots on the ground. Cruz on the other hand, has lots of boots on the ground in Iowa and is leading in the polls. Maybe Trump thinks he can bleed some votes on the birther issue, but he’ll lay off after the vote.

I remember that by Cheech Marin. “Born in East LA.” Great hit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OwPPOu1yk4

Lack of a sense of humor is funny. It’s impossible to deny that people tend to have a fondness for the country they were born in. It’s precisely why there is a “natural born citizen” clause in our Constitution.

" Springsteen, a devout liberal, had the Reagan campaign stop using his song." LINK

[proust]

Before the year is over, we’ll have a mixtape: Maniac, Born in the USA, we’re not gonna take it, etc..

[proust]

Yeah I know. If Reagan thought it was good enough, who am I to argue.

[JSDude1]

Sure is trolling, would rather he focus on the issues.

[ripnbang]

Because he wins Iowa and begins the run of the table?

[Jane Long]

:-)

[Parley Baer]

Hehehehehe. Trump has a good sense of humor.
