11. In Trump's glorious speech at the black tie gala, how many times did he mention any opponent by name?
12. How many times did Cruz mention Trump by name?
Then came the Kelly Meygyn survey group, mostly for Trump articulating their points, but a couple loud, obnoxious and rabid Cruz fans with some scattered very respectful and classy Kasich people, (striking).
Then Kasich spoke and indirectly spoke about being positive not negative.
I FELL ASLEEP. SO PLEASE TELL ME, HOW MANY TIMES DID CRUZ MENTION TRUMP, AND DID HE HAVE A PREPARED SPEECH?

#9. Katherine Hepburn.
#10. Sophie Tucker.
I lived in Plattsburgh and I failed the quiz. I could tell you where all the best bars were though....
#2. B—Peter Frampton
#11. Trump mentioned Cruz exactly ZERO times.
What a great speech—I agree—it was masterful.
40 years before, Trump was walking around in that room with a hardhat overseeing demolition, and the saving of the very ceiling the attendees were sitting under last night.
Was feeling poor today, with a fever and other unpleasantries. Marlene has learned how to make a good chicken soup. Of course, she adds rice to the broth, and the veggies vie with the chunks of chicken. I don't remember where the reference comes from but chicken soup is described as "Jewish penicillin"!
Mr. Trump had a good time in NYC, and it showed. He is the right man at the right time. I look forward to the Inauguration! I'll be there if I win the lottery! Otherwise, I will watch on my TV.
But, I am feeling better all the time. Teddy is losing it, and cannot go two sentences with saying "Donald Trump". Most of what he says is stolen or just lies.

WVK, sorry to hear you are under the weather, as good as the weather is there in Paradise. ;)
Trump’s speech was amazing last night—he is amn of REL accomplishment—buildings, jobs, economic growth—he has already done these things.
Trump showed what a dynamic speaker he is—relaxed, able to spar unrehearsed with the crowd with humor.
Kasich sounded ready for a strait jacket—overblown rhetoric and underdressed for a black tie affair.
Cruz showed he had nothing, as they would say in NY—all about what he WOULD do, but nothing on what he has already done, which, coincidentally, is nothing.
Correct.
I think you know by now, that these trivia are made with you in mind. Don’t want to make it too easy for you.
Cruz had a prepared speech, which from my casual and distracted listen, had a policy part, and an electability part. He closed with the electability part, which was maybe a third or a quarter of the total speech. In the policy part, he did not mention Trump. In the electability part, he mentioned Trump frequently.
Thanks, nikos!!!
I do enjoy them, and I learn from them.
This was very challenging—some I am still working on!

Heheheheh. Hadn’t associated him with any cartoon characters, not by look anyway. He seems to be running the Wile E. Coyote “ACME brand” political campaign.
