Here we go again. Donald Trump will speak Sunday, January 24, 2016 in Muscatine, IA at Muscatine High School at 12:00 PM CST. I will post additional Live Feeds.
Mr. Trump will be attending church services this morning at New Hope Christian Church in Marshall Town, IA. I think it would be over the top for the media to be filming this.
Mr. Trump will do TV shows via phone today as well:
CBS’ “Face the Nationâ€: Trump will call into the show to gauge his chances in the Iowa caucus, with Sanders speaking afterwards.
NBC’s “Meet the Pressâ€: Clinton rounds out the day with an appearance on the program, followed by Sanders, Trump and former Defense secretary Robert Gates.
Muscatine is one of the prettier cities on the Mississippi River.
It's been said that NO OTHER town or city in the United States is named Muscatine.
HON office furniture is headquartered here, but it's claim to fame in the cultural history of things is Scot Halpin.
For ten points, does anyone know who Scot Halpin was? (Answer is below).
Yes, actually, they did. They briefly showed the empty section that Trump was explaining too (repairs going on), just for information purposes. A nice professional job.
Has anyone commented on Trump’s position that he wants the Canadians to pay 25% on the oil running through the Keystone Pipeline to be paid US government? He uses the reasoning that Canada should be paying the US for use of the govt’s use of eminent domain?
This is similar other infrastructure arrangements within the United States. I have not heard any other politician take this position, it is really interesting. In attempting to pass the Keystone Pipeline, what did the US politicians try to negotiate on our behalf?
He read my mind. I’ve been talking about sweep 50 states and thinking about winning a “mandate” election. ;-)
Hi Donna!
Trump: Ted Cruz will approve the pipeline because he’s from Canada! LMBO!
He said this 6 months ago. The man is always thinking. OUr politicians thought nothing about this.
Plus... The ARt of the Deal. YOu throw out a ridiculous figure to start with then negotiate.
RElly...tell us what the comments are...

I don’t know how I missed it but I believe you. No one seems to talk about this idea. Have not heard a peep about it until today. I would love to see Donald get these deals working to reverse the economic damage of years of political neglect.
The other politicians are plotting how to get their cut from the pipeline but Trump wants the US to get the money. Viva la difference!
So did my parents — “muskmelon”.

No, it’s not similar to your examples because this is Canadian oil being transported across the USA. The 25% is just a campaign stump negotiating figure so I wouldn’t put much stock it in. Russia pays Ukraine for pipeline transit rights and they are always fighting about it for example.

Excerpt
In addition, Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump in Iowa early in the week. Her endorsement came just as the Fox poll was starting interviews in the Hawkeye State. The Palin endorsement boosted Trump considerably among voters who identify as “very conservative” and “tea party.”
Among both voters, Cruz had been leading Trump in the last Fox poll. Trump now leads among “tea party voters” and is essentially tied with Cruz among “very conservative” voters. Cruz had held a slim lead among more mainstream “Republican” voters, a group Trump now leads by 9 points.
Trump, it seems, is benefiting from a political perfect storm just before Iowa casts its votes. Palin’s embrace of Trump and the state’s Republican establishment’s united opposition to Cruz has pushed Trump into a strong lead.
I’m so glad he did this. Cruz’s ad about that is such a lie. I’m glad we have someone with enough courage to defend himself.
“That pastor said Oprah is the anti Christ.”
Doubtful that she’s THE anti-Christ. Could be AN anti-Christ. Can’t stand her! Can’t stand anyone who helped put Obama in office.

The boss has spoken
The other politicians are plotting how to get their cut from the pipeline but Trump wants the US to get the money.
I stood up and cheered when he said we should get something for letting Canada use our land. No politicians ever think of Americans first anymore. Trump is going to be greedy for America! Awesome!
“I appreciate Trump always wearing a suit and tie. It shows respect for the audience.”
And when he’s in the White House he’ll do the same, like Reagan (and Bush, I think), showing respect for the office.
What you’re talking about is a time honored FR tradition of posting one word dissenting comments on threads, anonymously. Its tweeting before twitter.
No, it’s not similar to your examples because this is Canadian oil being transported across the USA. The 25% is just a campaign stump negotiating figure so I wouldn’t put much stock it in. Russia pays Ukraine for pipeline transit rights and they are always fighting about it for example.

I have a better example. The US already has an infrastructure toll like this...consider the tolls that are charged to truck drivers utilizing our highway infrustructure. Trump’s plan would not be unpresidented, even in the US. Also, fees charged to airlines that utilize our infrastructure. It is certainly worth consideration.
“AuntB, can you believe this after all those years of us talking about the border problem? This election is a lot of fun.”
It sure is, donna! I’d given up and didn’t bother with politics for months until I heard Trump. You’ll get this!
