Entering to sustained applause, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told his Austin audience that “the people of Texas are proud, they’re independent and they are free. There is no better place to deliver the message I have to deliver tonight.”

FULL EVENT! OUTSTANDING! Donald Trump Rally in Austin, Texas 8/23/16 (video)
TEXAS is also already in the win column, so I don’t see the benefit.
“What the hell is he doing in Texas?”
Relax. It’s only for one day. He did a fundraiser earlier today in Fort Worth, and besides, it’s good for morale.
Trump Force One will be in some other state tomorrow.
“Trump is risking it all for US.”
Indeed, he is. We’ve all got to pitch in and help him however we can.
I’m going to send him a donation right after I toss in something on the Freepathon.
So nice, it had to be said thrice!
I understand he wants to soften the rhetoric because of all the criticism from the media, democrats, and the GOP but.......he stands to lose some of the base with it. The base wants them gone...good, bad, doesn’t matter, illegal = gone.
Maybe he thinks if he’s just better on the issue than Hillary he’ll get their vote.
As he said, “November 8th is Independence Day”.
Time to throw off the socialist shackles.
They are these things called TV ads...
Just saying...
BTW, he is in Tampa today...
