It came on the hottest day of the year in the state and just 48 hours before a $33,400-per-plate fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in Greenwich.
The William H. Pitt Center, the university’s basketball arena, felt more like a sauna, with 4,000 to 5,000 people wreaking havoc on the air conditioning. Outside, an overflow crowd listened to an unscripted Trump hurl insults at “crooked Hillary and Connecticut’s governor, Dannel P. Malloy, while protesters dotted a nearby intersection.

The heat is on.
Let’s get it on. Time to put on the helmets. Hillary is going down politically. real bad.
“The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers... [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper.” —Thomas Jefferson to G. K. van Hogendorp, Oct. 13, 1785.

I hate our lying media.
an overflow crowd listened to an unscripted Trump hurl insults at “crooked Hillary and Connecticut’s governor, Dannel P. Malloy...
Well, in for a dime, in for a dollar! :)
a month ago my post would have been frantic hand wringing. Trump gets rid of that after a while :)
I just returned from that rally. The article did a pretty good job describing it. I’m going to be posting more extensively about it on the LIVE thread later tonight. I’m still drinking water and getting hydrated again!
did they have to bus in anymore high school students?
thanks for the reports.
Looking forward to your report! I watched it on RSBN. It seemed that Trump is doing what he has to do. In a small, fed up state such as CT, making it personal for the voters against the governor and other officials I’d think will be a winner.
Great quote. Never seen that one before.
the media will black this out. Next to push polling and big lie stories, censoring is their biggest tool.
I WATCHED. HE IS GOING TO win FOLKS. That was such an inspiring speech, The people are pissed!!
4,000 to 5,000!!!
"[I have seen] repeated instances of the publication of what has not been intended for the public eye, and the malignity with which political enemies torture every sentence from me into meanings imagined by their own wickedness only... Not fearing these political bull-dogs, I yet avoid putting myself in the way of being baited by them, and do not wish to volunteer away that portion of tranquillity, which a firm execution of my duties will permit me to enjoy." --Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 1807.

Thanks. Another great quote. A keeper.
We should not underestimate the forces arrayed against Trump. I recently had a conversation with some family members who were going on about how terrible Trump is. They watch the mainstream news, so all they hear is a constant stream of anti-Trump propaganda.
Plus, even though they knew about accusations against that poor woman, aka Hillary Clinton, they discounted them all. Why? Because the media protrays attacks on Hillary as politically motivated, false or overblown accusations from the far right—not mainstream, respected news sources.
Enthusiasm for Hillary may be low, but Trump is being protrayed as a literally insane, out of control madman.
The media is giving us a clue how worried they are by creating stories now of not just how crazy Trump is, but now Trump voters are racists and crazed loons.
I agree. Our media are propaganda machines. I wonder if the Clinton campaign is paying writers to write commentaries from talking points they want in their pieces. What they write seems so scripted with the Khan-job smear being the topic du jour.
Tell us the truth. How many people there, Both inside and out.
I understand by the reports that it was full. But your on site review would do more than any report.
I think he has struck fear in his opponents tonight that he is unstoppable.
It’s one thing to challenge Hillary and the Media. It’s another to challenge the sitting President — however so justified it may be.
Obama is vindictive, as he’s tortured the American economy, world standing and race relations throughout his term because we didn’t love and adore and worship him.
