POTUS rally was another barn burner. There were a few new threads that I noticed.

1. He did a fantastic job of comparing and contrasting what Republicans stand for vs Democrats. On that list was the statement that Republicans stand for strengthening Medicare, Medicare and Social Security. Democrats want to raid those programs to support socialism. Good for him! It’s about time Republicans got ahead of the tired ‘push Grandma off the cliff’ meme. Perhaps it is an opening salvo in bringing much needed reform to these programs in order to keep them viable.

2. For the first time he brought up prisoners when discussing job creation. As the pool of unemployed shrinks employers are starting to hire prisoners, giving them a second or third chance. This dovetails nicely with the administrations prison reform efforts as a job will help cut the recidivism rate.

All in all a great night for POTUS!

He also said something, in regard to media coverage I think, about “look at what crooked Hillary is getting away with” and then almost an after thought or under his breath, “well, we’ll see if she gets away with it”.

That got my attention.

He also spoke of F-I/D-J and said he’d step in if & when ;)
