Well the first adjective is “master showman”. Almost a backhanded compliment.

Right now, we have illegal immigrants who are treated better

Money line of the speech. Tragically true and undeniable. He should use it in the speech tonight.

I heard most of this speech. I found it inspiring. One of the many positive things that separates Trump from the crowd, is his sense of urgency.

No one else speaks with such a sense of urgency. Trumps sense of urgency is appropriate and missing from the other candidates.

Need to see “Democrats for Trump” blue collar types and we’ll tell the fat lady to start warming up.

He’s hitting all the right notes. Awful lot of regular types have sat it out because they don’t like what they are hearing the last couple of cycles.

Funny thing is, the GOP purports to stand for market-based economics; here’s a guy who has lived and died by the rules of the jungle for several decades...and the GOPe can’t put enough space between themselves and him.

He’s rough around the edges, but he certainly has my attention. DC could use a shot of testosterone.

I posted this earlier on another thread:

I attended the USS Iowa event last night. It was a very patriotic gathering with a lot of veterans in the audience. There were also a lot of enthusiastic young people. One thing that stood out for me is that all the attendees were of the happy and optimistic type that love this country and what it represents. I believe Trump’s popularity stems from the fact these people feel someone is finally standing up for many of the things they believe and will fight hard for them and not give a damn about the consequences. In any event, everyone there had a great time. Of course I can’t say the same for the 200 or so protestors. They were not the happy type.

Cheers!

Cruz has been speaking with urgency since he arrived inDC, but he has been treated with scorn. What Trump has is 30 years of experience of dealing with the media. He knows how to break through that wall they throw up to keep contrary messages from being heard. As in the case of the Planned Parenthood Videos. Trump could win me by speaking to this issue. But I doubt he will. He does not dare.

His speech was a success, and he made MSM mad because they were looking for a detailed foreign policy speech.

Not the right venue so shame on MSM. Hurray for Trump he made them cover his speech anyway ha ha.

This guy doesn’t even want to be president.....he just loves being the center of attention. If the pubbies are idiotic enough to nominate a man more democrat than republican, they deserve to lose.....one again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

You are right about Cruz, he also has a sense of urgency in his tone. Regarding Trump and PP, Bill O'R asked Trump about that last night. Trump said clearly, “I would defund them.”

If we do not nominate him, we definitely will lose. Is that what you want?

Only Trump can save us--is that it?

Ironically, it would do the pro-choice sided much good to cut loose from Planned Parenthood. We see how they hold to the most extreme positions.
