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!
Trump is the big shiny thing we are all supposed to be distracted by and to some
degree it is working.
We all know what he is, we just have not established the price.
It was the same here in South Florida. News media didn’t mention Allen, just Trump. I can also tell you there were many folks at the rally from New York. I got to talk with many. They all had their “Trump” shirts on and of course shirts were available for purchase at the rally along with buttons. :)
I can tell you, Allen was awesome per usual! If anyone from the media were being honest, they would say that although Donald Trump was well received it was Allen West who REALLY rocked the crowd!
