Trump really killed it in his press conference today, and did the same at his rally, later. The live threads for both testify to that fact.
Thought I'd check out Donald's Facebook page to see what folks on social media are saying, and the enthusiasm is right over the top. Here are a few examples:
America is in a SLUMP!! WE NEED TRUMP!! #trump2016
Your speeches and interviews are just getting better and better! You were great on CNN and made excellent points. Thank you so much for what you are doing. I finally feel like I have a voice. Very grateful!!! God Bless!
You are already making America Great Again, Donald J. Trump! Giving us hope! You were awesome on CNN tonight!! Navy Mom heart emoticon

Go Donald, you are the ONLY one that can save the USA, Everyone please get out and Vote for the man that will bring our country back to having values, family, protection of our borders, and build industry to bring back jobs to the AMERICANS not the illegal aliens. GO TRUMP!
The Great Wall of Trump.
I.Q.?
I'm right there with you!
Trump has caught the tail of anger and disenfranchisement. If he stays the ride, it will propel him into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
The only free market I see is us allowing other people to freely sell stuff here. In most places we try to sell stuff there are restrictions. Where are all the jobs NAFTA and other agreements were supposed to bring us? If the promises made by the unrestricted free trade people were right, we should have more jobs than we know what to do with. In case you haven’t noticed, that is not what happened. We have lost millions of jobs to other countries and our workforce participation is at record low levels. Maybe tariffs, especially to force other countries to play fair, would not be a bad thing.
I have looked over the field of candidates and tried to imagine what it would be like without Trump in the fray. Oh my - what a boring bunch of candidates. They are yawn worhty - just my opinion, of course.
I truly believe he feels duty bound to step up to the plate and take matters into his own hands, since it seems the GOP has not only let us down, but is actually working for the other side.

Very good overall posting that expressed my view as well. Your closing sentence (above) sums it up.
And this is what won me over. Trump has already announced a three tiered income tax, that's not quite the ideal, but I believe Forbes and Laffer will sell him on a better, flatter tax plan that also deals with foreign made profits and corporate taxes in general.
You've hit the nail on the head.
