Hi Friend,
I had stated here on FR how I liked what Trump had been saying during his many TV interviews. He has been saying many things I agree with and it is obvious that many Freepers agree with those comments too. It is also obvious that many Freepers do not trust Donald Trump due to his comments and actions in the past, and I am also having many doubts about Trump's motives.
My hubby and I attended the event in Boca Raton where Donald Trump appeared. We were interested to see him in person, but would have gone to the Tea Party Tax Day Rally regardless if Trump was appearing because Congressman Allen West and Adam Hasner were going to speak.
Now that I have heard Donald Trump in person, I think his TV interviews were scripted. Donald Trump made several of the same comments he has made over and over during his many TV appearances, but needed to READ THEM off notes during his Boca Raton appearance yesterday. Means what? That those comments and beliefs/stands on issues perhaps are not from his heart. When one is compassionate about something, they don't need notes to read their “true-felt” opinions.
I do not agree that the rally became a support Trump rally. Although there were many folks there who agreed with his comments, the one who REALLY rocked the crowd was our much loved Florida Congressman, Allen West!
Listen to the video below and see what I mean! The video was taken by a Florida friend and jumps a bit, but the audio is very clear. You will see how Allen West speaks straight from the heart with no notes. The notes you see in Allen's hand was a copy of Ovomit’s speech from last week. Allen used it to read Ovomit’s quotes,as Allen made comments about Ovomit’s speach.

We also heard Adam Hasner speak and like Allen, he speaks from the heart and leaves you knowing he really believes what he says and means what he says...straight from the heart. Many Floridians, including my hubby and I, are looking forward to seeing Adam Hasner face Bill Nelson in 2012!
My hubby and I are hoping that Allen West gets angry enough with what is going on that he comes to realize that HE is the one America needs to run for President NOW rather than later! Just one debate between Allen West and Ovomit would be enough to make Americans elect Allen West as our President for 8 years!
I am thoroughly enjoying the discomfort that Trump is causing Obongo Bozo!
HST, I’ll in no way, shape or form support Trump for President!
He is just as arrogant and condescending as Obongo, and almost as irritating to look at and listen to.
Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame, Donald, and then exit stage left. Leave Conservative politics to Real Conservatives!
The reason for the wording of my post was to emphasize the fact that Trump is drawing all the air out of the room where ever he shows up.
He is drawing attention away from the real Conservatives such as West.
West gave a fantastic speech, but it wasn't headlined even here at Free Republic that I saw.
Even though he was “the one who REALLY rocked the crowd”, Trump got most of the attention media-wize, even here at FR.
Thanks for the first person report (and the welcomed “correction”) I thought you would be there!
