Local real-estate broker Charley Valera had a once-in-a-lifetime experience on Friday night, when he attended a private fundraiser for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The event itself was also impressive, Valera said. Each guest was given a glass of champagne as they entered, and there was an open bar with drinks named things like a "Trump-tini."
The food, he said, included braised beef and lobster hors d'oeuvres made by accomplished Boston chef Anthony Ambrose. Everything Valera tried was "incredible," he said.

"He [Trump] was definitely a crowd-pleaser," he said. "He was talking with people in the audience, he jokes, he relates with people. He talked for probably 35 to 40 minutes, with no notes."
Valera said Trump mocked numerous politicians during his speech, including Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.
Alcorn said she doesn't consider herself to be either a Democrat or a Republican, but thought Trump "made some great points."
He was extremely confident, and repeatedly referred to himself as "a winner."
"It does take something to get up in front of 1,000 people, not stumble over your words, not repeat yourself," said Valera, "and still get your message across."
Trump's message itself, Valera said, resonated with him.

The RE broker who attended the rally was (I believe) from Fitchburg MA, a small town in north central MA.
WOW, this is news.
"Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans, love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball players, the toughest boxers … Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time."
Patton was right. That's why Trump is attracting Americans of all stripes. Not even years of public education can kill the American spirit. We love winners. We love fighters. And that's the aura Trump gives off.
PC is the cancer and the rats use the media to deliver
I thought it was interesting just to get the regular guy's review of the Trump event instead of media reports.
And the very idea of lobster hors d'oeuvres makes my mouth water. I would have parked myself at that table and eaten at least $100's worth.
I contemplated putting it in "Breaking.";-)
Eye of the Tiger is the theme song I attribute to Trump.
$100 a plate sounds about right for an all you can eat, all you can drink, outdoor summer bash, with entertainment
You can pay more for an indoor Wedding reception
I believe this is the one the TV news said was $100 a plate. Hardly a fundraiser, with that menu I doubt it covered expenses.

Trump said he was going to reimburse Boch for any shortfall.
AD/DC’s Big Balls. That’s it. Eye of the tiger doesn’t do him justice.

Ha! What a loser... Doesn't know how to use a Teleprompter! /sarc
Right you are! We’re fed up with being losers thanks to Obama and his incompetent and treasonous crowd.
Dont forget Bush 1 Bush 2 and Clintoon. Losers every one of them.
He took everything Reagan fought for and threw it (and America) away.
Trump has a excellent opportunity to give low cost “fund raisers” Charge $100 a person instead of the usual $5,000 a plate for some sad dried out food you wouldn’t feed a pig.
Let some of the “rubes” join in. Maybe play some bluegrass music and pass a jug around! Raise yer glasses and give a toast to the death of GOPe! Yeeee haaawww
