I was at that rally today and there are a few key points missing. There were several speakers and the lead-in to Donald Trump was none other than Col. Allen West. Cong. West rocked the place when he defended his vote against the budget deal and reminded everyone that the “cuts” were already spent before Obama even signed it. West also rocked Obama as Commander in Chief and the reckless, leaderless attack on Libya. There were many Trump / West 2012 signs in the crowd - very interesting that the 2 were speaking at the same event.
The pre-speech band was a mostly black jazz band that played Route 66 and rocked the place. The lead singer raised a cheer when he said ‘I thought the Tea Party is racist and then pointed to the many black folks at the event, participating fully. Tito Puente jr. played there and is a fantastic drummer like his dad and rocked Santana’s Oye Como Va. The so-called racist white audience rocked to it and there were latins participating as well.
Donald Trump has a very attractive, magnetic speaking style. No political mumbo jumbo, just very straight, easy to follow common sense conversational style. This I think is going to make him very formidable. Although he had some papers with him on the lectern, it appeared to be an outline and not a word-for-word speech. No TOTUS here. He comes across as very authentic and this is speaking to a very smart, no-nonsense tea party crowd. Spoke very bluntly about how he goes to Qatar and they have the most modern airports and infrastructure and then comes back to LaGuardia airport and is embarrassed at the comparison. Explains very easily how there is no recovery with the price of oil where it is, up 67% since Obama came in and we are not drilling. Notes the impact of inflation on the cotton industry and how this impacts price of clothes. Talks straight about how he knows smart, educated people from Latin America and Europe and other places that come to him for help to get into the country and could help grow our economy and be a credit to America. Very straight - we get the borders and immigration under control and stop bringing in criminals or we have no country.
The crowd shouted for him to talk about Obama’s scandals and very straight talked about how he himself went to Wharton and knows lots of people with kids with straight A’s can’t get into Harvard. He said ‘how did somebody with lousy grades like Obama get into Harvard in the first place?’ Crowd asked about Rezko and Ayers. The Ayers part was probably best and Trump without flinching said he believes Ayers wrote the first book and it was like Hemingway wrote it. The 2nd book he bluntly said he read and no way was written by the guy who wrote that first book. Flat out said ‘it’s like comparing chicken salad to chicken sh**’. Explained that it used to be when you win a war you win it and get the spoils. With him in charge he will take control of Iraq and that he has friends with knowledge on the situation who assures that once we leave Iran will take Iraq and are planning it already. Blasted Obama on Libya and made it very clear that in Iraq and Libya we will take the oil profits to pay ourselves, our allies and pay us with a profit.
All this and more was very well delivered and I can tell you the Tea Party loved it.
For years I have negotiated directly in China and Korea and what Donald says is true. We are “patsy’s” and are getting screwed everyday.
I see no other republican that will stand up for our Country and protect our interests and our borders that would have a prayer against Obama.
Trump will destroy Barry in 2012.
Ah China and Korea have not yet begun to screw US like the lying, cheating, twisted liberals have done to US. AND liberalism has darn near stole from US every way possible. AND the 'donald' is up to his eyeballs in funding liberal campaigns.... Did the 'donald' have any problems with the China dollars funneled in to reelect the Clintons back in 1996...
Gotta agree that Sarah is 100% solid conservative. No doubt about it for me.
The Donald? He sounded great today! At this point he sounds like it but his past statements do trouble me. Want to hear more of his specifics on certain issues to see if this New Trump is indeed who he now portrays himself to be. A lot more.
He does have one HUGE advantage over Sarah. That is in clobbering 0bama and then making the press look silly trying to trip him up on it. Whereas Sarah's interviews have you holding your breath that she won't get flustered, Trump effectively gets his point across no matter how much the Lib Media tries to throw him off. Just look at Trump-Viera vs. Palin-Couric. Trump was on offense the entire time, Sarah on Defense.
Now if you had a candidate with Sarah's true conservative views combined with 20+ years of dealing with heads of industries and dealing with the corrupt MSM..now that would be an unstoppable candidate. Sounds like I just described Ronaldus Maximus. :)
Among the milquetoast 2012 RINOs I don't see any of the Repub candidates displaying a combination of these qualities.
For now, just want to continue seeing Trump hammer 0bama on his fraudulent past. He has done a marvelous job at it! In 4 weeks, he's done more to discredit the whole 0bama "story" than the entire Republican Party has done since 2008.
Still hasn't convinced me on the part where I could 100% back him for president. However, his unflinching attack on 0bama, his failed policies and the corrupt media who run the regime's disinformation campaign has me liking him more and more.
Spot on.
Thanks for sharing.
I am sure we will get some of the “Donald Trump is being sponsored by George Soros” Conspiracy Theory posts....but it seems like a straight-up speech from Trump.
Sounds like another great event put on by the Tea Party down there in Boca
Trump’s angle on this is that we allowed ourselves to get manipulated by China. He didn’t say it but I suspect he will push for higher import taxes and reduced regulation domestically to get us back in the game. His message is you have to give to get and the Chinese are getting all the value of our market almost for nothing. He said we hold all the cards ( in other words they need our market) and we are letting them have it. He indicated that he is experienced working with creditors and understands that working relationship and will not allow this situation to continue.
This is the common sense approach to Communist China....
However, you can bet the Statist Free Traders will whine “Protectionism” that Trump wants the US to be more competitive and self-supporting....AND, that we hold the cards when it comes to Free Trade with the Communist Chinese
Trump understands that it is stupid for the US to be so in debt, and so undercut, by the Communist Chinese
No question that this is the big fight that the next president will have to deregulate our industries to allow us to compete again. We have allowed ourselves to be strangled by regulations and lawyers on every corner, ready to sue any business trying survive, right out of existence.
The kind of “ NATION BUILDING “ is rebuilding the USA as a strong, productive , and debt free nation and greater than what it ever was.....
Glad to see your post. I hope the guy runs against the lilly livered RINOs.
Ok, been thinking this, and am finally going to say it outloud, well knowing that many are going to flame me if not put out a contract on me.
I truly love Sarah, and I love listening to her. She nails my thinking almost all the time. But there is one thing it seems to me she doesn’t have.
Margaret Thatcher had it; Golda Meir had it. Sarah doesn’t. The trouble is I’m not sure how to describe it.
Somehow she doesn’t communicate a sense of authority. Perhaps it’s that when women get passionate, their voices can get shrill. Especially if their voices are more high-pitched. Thatcher & Meir had - for women - a relatively baritone voice (for a female) and a seriousness that communicated authority.
This is one area where Trump is a rock star. When he attacks, it comes across as solid, rational, almost unquestionable.
Maybe it’s that she tries to be “cute” or funny too much. Reagan did this, but he used it sparingly. Perhaps Sarah overdoes it. It was perfect in her first speech after being announced by McLame, but somehow it seems out of place now. These are serious times -moreso than ever. And I think there’s little room for being cute or funny today. This is life or death both for our nation and possibly our lives.
Somehow there’s a seriousness or authority that’s missing with Sarah. I don’t know how to define it, but it’s something I sense.
Ok, flame away. Do others here sense what I’m trying to communicate?
I’d like her to cut out the “You betchas”. It’s no longer a witty response.
