I’s say the crowd was simply more reserved than the rally crowds. The rally crowds have a rock concert atmosphere.
In spite of being reserved this crowd did give Trump a standing O at the end.
I hope you turn out to be right. Rooster was saying the polls will soon be out on this event. I didn’t buy it though from what I saw, before I had to cut out on the video. I sure hope you all are correct, though.
I am braced for the polls to tighten, as they always do, but it’s never easy, is it?
Just finished watching the video. Some of you need to watch it again, and pay special attention when the camera shows the people. The speech was great. I think it was the best one he’s given since announcing. And the crowd. I thought they were with him right from the get-go.
Every time but one, when the camera cut away from Trump and looked at the crowd, they were snapping photos of him with their phones, or smiling or laughing. They seemed very relaxed, at home and content. In one cutaway, there was a guy in a red, white and blue cap who looked stoic like a wooden indian, but other than that, I thought the crowd was fine.
I sincerely think the crowd was with HIM, and booing Rubio when he mentioned Rubio. And at the end when the camera jumped to the crowd, I don’t see how the standing ovation could have been much quicker or enthusiastic. He should be very pleased, and I’m sure he was.
Someone gave a reply earlier stating that Trump will own the South. I agree. Trump is so real, and un-politician-like, the south is going to love him. Well why not. Some of his most beautiful properties are in the south.
