This is not the robotic scripted sound bites we are used to from a presidential candidate.

At one of his events yesterday (the one CSPAN covered), he made an off-the-cuff remark: Anyone who is running for president should not be allowed to use a teleprompter.

Of course, that brought some giggles and applause.

Thanks for posting this. I watched Trump speak for the first time last night in NH. He was in NH and cspan covered the entire event. It was very entertaining. However, the calls to cspan afterward were very telling. More than half of the democrats and all of the independents agreed with the republican callers voicing support for Trump. It was quite startling to me but this man resonates with an America starved for an answer to open borders and progressive deficit spending (as echoed by the comments). If he seeks counsel from solid conservatives and crafts policy accordingly, this would be the GOPe and progressive Dems worst nightmare, a single candidate uniting the middle class. Those who easily dismiss this man as a candidate do it at their own risk. We may be seeing an establishment revolt right before our eyes.

I can’t even imagine how you formulate a campaign to run against him. I think Cruz has had the best approach....probably easier for him since they seem to be on the same side of most issues.

That crook Hillary won’t talk to anyone, literally ropes off the press...sounds like a drone when she gives a speech. I can just imagine the rats are having a lot of unanswered phone calls as they’re searching for a replacement for the crook.

Obama or Shrillary would not survive a 15-minute press conference of hostile reporters.

Also, nobody has asked Trump yet what his favorite ice cream flavor is. So far, that is the toughest question Shrillary has had to face this campaign season and she couldn't even answer that one honestly (her answer was "everything").

No problem Irish! I would imagine the rural kids in Iowa would be absolutely thrilled to fly in Trumps jet helicopter. And then he rides along with them!☺

I've never seen anything like it before from a presidential candidate, and that includes Ronald Reagan... Trump was sharp as a tack and had an instant answer for everything... This is not the robotic scripted sound bites we are used to from a presidential candidate.... If Trump continues handling the press as effortlessly like this, nobody is going to stop him.

I was glad to hear him start to "unpack" his approach to policy today, explaining that you don't go into a negotiation and reveal your entire 14 bullet points at the start; he says the press wants "particulars" of his policy positions, that he is going to be rolling out papers on policy during the week, but that the people understood what he meant when he said "Mexico is sending" that he meant illegals, and that the people got several other similar points that the press is trying to muddle.

Most importantly, he says the people who support him understand what he has done and created, and that they trust him to do great deals to rebuild the country. He criticized the other candidates for being beholden to lobbyists and fundraisers, and he said he had just turned down an offer of $5million dollars from a lobbyist — "I don't need it; I don't want it; because two years down the road you'll call me back and want something for it, for a client of yours." He said Jeb and others are not able to "do it from the heart."

This is amazing. Keep it up, Donald.

I do think more people are concerned this year than possibly ever before . . as we’ve watched our country be fundamentally transformed into a nation we no longer recognize nor would have wished upon our children/grandchildren.
This may be our last chance to save America . . and I think that’s what Trump is feeling, too.

Trump gives helicopter rides to kids. Doesn't have to, but does. What other candidate pays attention to kids, other than holding babies for photo ops? Smart man.

Everyone should go to the Iowa State Fair, at least once. If you go once, you'll want to go again. It's huge and lots of fun. While there, check out Brafford's Lemonade and Hot Dog stands, there since 1948. Best lemonade you ever had. Lots of musical acts in front of many of the concession stands. Mike and Eve Brafford are known for their vintage dancing routines there (1920s - 1940s).

Im not sure that Cruz,Carson Trump and maybe one more are not part of a cartel.

Do you remember how ROMNEY used Huntsmen (his cousin) to pick up delegates ? Combining the delegates when a weaker candidate drops out to balance the one state takes all bigger states has been used by Gopee for eons to get their man in office over the people choice

Cruz and Trump have had a relationship for awhile. Dr Carson for even longer (he recently admitted “Trump was just a guy from the .....area”

My opinion at present is the team (our team) is beating the GOPee at their own game.

CNN did show Trump and the kids getting on the helicopter. Also showed the copter return and one of the mothers hugged Trump before they stepped out. Some great photo ops.
