Fort Myers, FL at Germain Arena
Trump just said on F&F that the arena in Fort Myers holds about 8k and they’ve been inundated with requests, so they’re trying to find a bigger place, possibly a park (hope that’s not the case, I don’t like him out in the open like that).
Stay safe and have a good day.
Good morning, Lysie!
Thanks for a YUGE breakfast.
It’s great to see you. I hope you aren’t in any pain, gaining your strength back, mending daily, and will be up and around soon!
Best,
SC
Trump talks about getting tough against ISIS abroad, and curtailing immigration (don't let anybody in - if you go abroad and fight with ISIS, you can't come back). He lambastes Crooked for committing to no boots on the ground to fight ISIS.
He notes her appearance on the plane, and says that demeanor won't cut it in a fight against tough people.
Trump on Obama and Hillary not calling "radical Islamic terrorism." He hits on the immigration angle, "like the Trojan Horse."
Subject of Trump saying "bomb" quickly, and CNN editing that out of Hillary's remarks. Trump says CNN is awful. How about Bill Clinton saying Crooked passes out all the time. CNN is so disgusting and dishonest. If you saw her in the back of the plane, and she said it was a bomb too, and nobody said anything about that, and CNN edited that out. It is a rigged system, and the news is dishonest as anyone is. Trump says the press will do anything to make him lose, but his polls are doing good.
Hillary wants more [Syrians, Somalis] to come in, she's trying to prove she is more liberal than Bernie Sanders.
Reaction to Fallon being criticized for making Trump human. Trump says Dr. Oz too. he liked the Trump skits on the Emmy Award program.
Trump predicts he will be treated unfairly in the debate - see Lauer being criticize over Trump doing well in the forum. He says he's always found Lester Holt to be fair, but the system is unfair. He is looking forward to the debate, he has things to say.
UN general assembly - Trump won't comment on who is plans to meet with. He claims he has been asked to meet with several. He's already met with some leaders, but won't say who. Maybe the world being uneasy with a Trump presidency is a good thing, he says. We are treated unfairly.
Campaign plans? Big rallies. Trying to get an open park in Ft. Myers due to the demand for tickets.
What about the pledge reneging candidates? See Reince Priebus remarks. Jeb Bush says "won't be bullied." Do you think these guys will come on board? Don't care if they do, don't need them. But they did renege on their pledge. Kasich and Bush did sign the pledge, there were four (he thinks) that reneged. Should there be retribution? Trump says the contract is clear, "I will endorse .." What should happen? He doesn't know, it's up to Preibus and the RNC, the deal was with the RNC. These people all want to run in four years, if I was the RNC, I wouldn't let them.
Last subject, Gov. Cuomo is going to say their might be a foreign connection to the bombings. Trumps says he thinks there is. What about those who are here and drawn into radicalization? He would clamp down on bomb-making instructions being published. This is a first amendment issue - good topic for the press to obsess over this week. My remark -- Treat it like child porn (1st amendment violation too?)
Last last subject - mayor would not call it terror, the governor will, what's up with that? Up until recently, says Trump, Hillary would not say "radical Islamic terrorism" either. Doocy says Cuomo got blowback for being nice to Trump. Trump had not heard that. Trump has been studying trade deals over the weekend, some of them are so bad, NAFTA is a one-way street (sounds like he is boning up for the debate). Ever hear "company opening in upstate NY due to NAFTA?"
Good interview.
In this context, I think that “open park” is synonymous with “stadium.” “Park” being short for “ballpark.”
“At the same time, Mrs. Clinton’s team has in recent days deployed two of its most popular surrogates for young voters: Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts ...”
That’s funny, Sanders drew 150 people at most (looked more like 50 from the pictures) to his event in Akron OH. Warren held an event at Ohio State Univ, according to the paper 600 mainly students and faculty attended. A Trump supporter accused her of lying about her ethnicity, at which point she ran away.
To sum up, the two most popular surrogates had far fewer than 1,000 people combined.
FBI announces person of interest is Ahmed Khan. What a coincidence.
Yeah. What enthusiasm! The voters know the candidate is Crooked, not sanders or Warren, and they don't show up at Crooked's rallies either. Sanders and Warren have lost their celebrity appeal. Crooked's best surrogates are the Obamas, and Barry is all about himself, not about Hillary.
Good point, thanks! I was thinking about the rally in AZ where it was a park (the rally where the idiots chained themselves across the street).
Good morning. A little pain, but I’m doing well. Thanks.
Enjoy the Trump Surge....Hat Tip to Binary Boy
From: BinaryBoy I managed to darken the background with Chrome developer tools so that the grey area is visible. Trump has clearly broken out. Gee, I wonder why they hid it.
Good morning, SC.
I'll have a little cider for your pain.
My better half had serious oral surgery a week ago, so I have an idea of what you are putting up with. I've been amazed after being under the knife, lots of pain for "as long as it hurts," then suddenly, overnight, the pain is gone. A few days in my cases.
Heal up! Glad to hear you are doing well. Thanks for the breakfast.
I have had some fun times in Fort Myers. By Florida standards the demographic seemed much younger. Go get them Trump!!
I’ll admit I’m not well versed on the politics of NC, but I’ve considered it part of the “south” and relatively Pubbie; therefore, have been a bit surprised that the polls have been so close there.
I looked at the congress critters and senators from NC. Both senators (Burr and Tillis) are Pubbies, as is their gov, McCrory. There are 13 congressional districts and only 3 have Dim Reps. I realize that state legislatures often kinda jig the districts for various reasons, but district 4 (includes Chapel Hill) and especially district 12 (includes Charlotte and Greensboro) seem a stretch IMHO.

I don't see NC going to Crooked, and posted the "NC is Clinton's firewall" just to get that thought in mind as the press tries to take down Trump, and the various state polls swing in his favor anyway.
