“Trump, in fact, does know a lot about wind”

Probably true, but WaPo, Murdoch and the WSJ hold a doctorate in “wind”

Who cares?

He’s going to build a wall and stop this invasion.

The lefties have given Iowa all kinds of free goodies, which makes it rather difficult for conservatives to run there for nomination. Wind farms, ethanol subsidies, etc., etc. They’ve been bought off. Maybe that stuff can be undone, but it would be deadly to tell the Iowa voters that before the election, regrettably.

“Trump, in fact, does know a lot about wind. A few years ago, Donald Trump wanted to build a golf course in Scotland. There was just one problem: The Scottish government had licensed an off-shore wind farm near the course, which Trump worried would ruin the views.”

Did they ask this question of Kerry in 2004 regarding wind farms off of Martha’s Vineyard and Hyannisport? And how they killed it because of the “views?”

He he offered any sort of estimate for how long he expects it to take to build the “Great Wall of Trump”?

If he mentioned all the birds these things kill the libs would have loved him.

Irrelevant. The question was asked of Trump.

Someone on FR had a funny retort to a rant against Trump:

Me no care. Me want wall.

I cracked up!

American TRAITORS always get a free pass.

Invasion? From what I read we had a net zero Mexican population this year. I guess Mexicans are not finding the roads paved with gold like they thought.

-—He did, in NH the day he officially registered for ballot. It’s on video telling someone that Wind Farms kill birds

If the “good ones” are going back and the “bad ones” are staying, we still lose.

What a crock. The WaPo in action again. No touch Obama who is deliberately destroying the demographic of America, but urinate on Trump about wind farms....so obvious.

If you are a one issue voter, I think Trump is strongest in that issue.

Are you saying Trump’s people are incapable of building the Wall on schedule and on budget? Because otherwise why is your question relevant?

So he said he can appreciate the concept of subsidies for such—but not for a country with the debt we have.

I’d say he answered admirably.

More intentional distortion from the MSM.
