Donald Trump delivers remarks at his “Make America Great Again Rally & Picnic” in Oskaloosa, Iowa on July 25, 2015. In the middle of the speech, he declares ‘finally I can attack’ Scott Walker.

I don’t see what any of those threads have to do with Trump supporters.
Trump supporters are anti-establishment GOP for the most part. And are frustrated with business as usual in Washington, with campaign promises ignored as soon as the career politicians are voted in.
This includes letting the country being overrun with illegals.
Unless you are pointing out that Walker is no different- and is part of the GOPe and is pro-amnesty.(which he was, before changing his stance after deciding to run for president)
He's leading the way.
Cruz never makes a mistake in an interview, and can embarrass the media with facts, but Donald's Trump is necessary right now. The media are bullies and need to be slapped down hard. And on a regular basis.
Trump's approach is also instructive to the sheeple. "Trump is mad at the press. I wonder why. Maybe they aren't being fair to him, like he says."
Senator Cruz would make a great AG, probably at least one of the best. I believe that AG or any other position would be a waste of his talent and skills, not to mention his philosophy. Especially at this time when our whole government has been corrupted. In addition to his talent, skills and leadership I believe the Senator to be a righteous man and we need that as much as anything in our leadership in America and the world today.
True, which is why I can't see his campaign being long-lived.
If he gets elected, what agenda will he push? He has no coherent belief system, outside of what "works."
Still, he's making the GOPe squirm, which is a great thing. I want him around long enough to beat the crap out of Jeb and the media.
Trump’s got plenty of them to go around.
I’m hoping that the real demagogues, the GOP National organization, the Bushes, the Roves, the McCains, the McConnells and the Grahams of the GOP, and their ilk, will squeeze Trump too hard, he will run a third party candidacy and some nut case like Bernie Sanders gets elected.
Only by destroying the National GOP as it exists today is there any hope for reform.
Only a sustaining, election spoiling third party will get this problem solved.
Hah! I used to say that when I was a kid. Haven’t heard that in a long time.
Another thing we did was take your index fingers like one was a stick and the other a knife (I guess) and scrape the one over the other towards the recipient of ridicule, at the same time saying “chop you low”.
sign me up
very good
I would prefer to see him as President Walkers AG and first nominee to SCOTUS!
I did the same. It’s an extremely effective speech. Trump is articulate and makes his case very well. He has tapped into a populist vein that isn’t going to go away anytime soon.
Trump’s proposition is simple: Everyone else is on somebody’s payroll and is not working in the interest of the American people but rather for their paymasters. The result is the American people have been getting the short end of the stick for years. He doesn’t need or want their money and can’t be bought, and will fix this fundamental problem.
That’s a message that everyone gets, and it’s the reason he’s doing so well. That, and he’s a master at using the media to his advantage.
Thanks for posting his speech...as usual enjoyed it...interesting too is I think Trump has his security even in the stands....he’s taking no chances with his safety.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post and dreaming the big dream, and would be thrilled if this all were to come true. However, we have reality to deal with (a GOP and conservative-hating MSM, keeping the low information voter forever immersed in the liberal lies.
Not sure I want him to be the POTUS, but I sure do like the fact that he is stirring the pot!
Spot on.
I posted this on another thread, but I’ll post it here also...
Trump: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly...
The Good: I love Trump. He’s a breath of fresh air. He seems like the guy that we want to win and the guy to beat Hillary.
The Bad: He’s the right guy but when he talks about how “simple” it would be to tell Ford in Mexico, “Hey, every Ford you send us I will tax 35%”, that’s the wrong idea and the worng message. Who suffers from that 35% tariff? THE AMERICAN CONSUMER and accordingly THE AMERICAN ECONOMY. The American consumer will have to pay 35% more to buy a Ford. People who like Ford are basically SOL. THAT IS NOT free trade and does NOT solve America’s economic woes, it make them worse.
The Ugly: Trump’s a good guy but economically, he’s pointing his guns in the wrong direction. The BIG PROBLEM economically in the country is the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT with their idiotic, mind-numbing, and economically disastrous regulations like minimum wage, corporate taxes, union protection, and regulatory agencies so pervasive it makes business in the U.S. almost impossible. The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is the REAL SOURCE of manufacturing and jobs going out of the U.S. Trump is never going to fix our economy by raising taxes which is what a tariff is. Tariffs are self-defeating acts that force artificially high prices upon the American consumer and the feds pocket the difference. A healthy economy, thriving businesses and thus, more jobs, will come from LOWER TAXES and a market economy FREE of government interference.
Trump should know better. Maybe he was brainwashed by Keynesian economics at the Wharton School, I don’t know. But IMO, Trump should know better by now. He should know the difference between negotiating private deals in the free market and government interference in the free market. Free-market negations, like what Trump is used to in real estate, are great for the economy and drive for the creation of business and economic expansion and wealth. But tariffs are government interference in the free market, especially those used to “punish” trading partners. Government interference, like penalizing tariffs, drives an anemic economy, creates more poverty, and stifles free trade, and it is free trade that creates wealth in America.
Catsrus also suggested that, I replied on comment 43.
I watched the whole thing. Trump was great. Walker is starting to take the heat. He was all for common core before he was agains’t it just like he was for amnesty before he was agains’t it.
Fortunately Walker will be gone as soon as all of his real beliefs start to come out likely at the first debate. He is trying to be like Hillary and hope nobody asks him a question. :-)
