Trump Wows in Nashville
PJ Media ^ | 5/29/2018 | Roger Simon

Posted on 05/29/2018 8:57:09 PM PDT by RightGeek

The first thing I noticed when I walked into the Trump rally in Nashville Tuesday night ... was that Trace Adkins was singing. Not bad! (Hey, it’s Nashville.)

The second thing I noticed was that Jim Acosta wasn’t smiling, virtually the only person in the auditorium who wasn’t. If you don’t like Adkins, either you don’t like music or your Trump Derangement Syndrome is so great you couldn’t even groove to Bach or The Beatles in their heydays. Too bad for Jim.

...

But enough diversion. Trump’s on. They clearly love him in Nashville, but not Lamar Alexander and, especially, Bob Corker when they are introduced. Corker get roundly booed. (The Iran deal again?)

Congresswoman and senatorial candidate Marsha Blackburn is then introduced. She, however, is loved by the crowd. A clear favorite and early supporter of Trump, she looks and talks like a winner and likely will be.

...

These Trump events are in many ways corny, but corny in a good way. For that reason, they don’t get old, although the president repeats many of the same memes again and again. But since he is mostly a spontaneous speaker, he will zig and zag on occasion to keep your interest. Also, he adores connecting with his audience and the audience, in turn, is relieved and flattered to be addressed as people, not as serfs to be lectured. The billionaire president is an actual person. (No wonder Bloomberg hates him.)

Tonight he zig-zagged for a substantial amount of time about the movement of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. The nearly one hundred percent gentile crowd roared its approval. I have to admit that as a Jew I was moved. I wish my Jewish friends in New York and Los Angeles could have heard it.

A free press is neither good or bad, in and of itself. It could be a good thing.

A FAIR PRESS??? This is nothing less than insanity.

We need to change it up a bit by calling them “GOEBBELS NEWS!”

Smart to attach Pelosi to MS-13. It would be nice to see a tat, photo shopped of Pelosi’s face on an MS-13 guy. Not technically savvy to do it myself.

“A child who will grow up believing a free and fair press is the enemy, a bad thing, to be mocked and hated.”

The child is smart enough to know what he really believes, that a fake press is the enemy, not a free and fair press. I just wonder if this idiot cannot really detect the difference, as she tries to maintain.

I found myself wishing for a Trump adlib on the widdle Corker introduction to “come on, stand up Bob” a la Biden with the wheelchair guy some years ago.

Maybe that is a bridge too far for DJT to take a shot at Corker’s height, but the crowd would have loved it.

only makes one want to weep and consider we’ve already been beaten.

We've been beaten by the left, the deep state is just anotehr tool of the left. We've beaten ourselves buying leftist media products like netflix and cable. Mostly we've been beaten by our own success, with lots of people enamored enough by the bread and circus to not even even bother voting, pretending it's only RINOs.

To blame the deep state is a cop-out. See my tagline, it's vintage DJT. He can't fix that, we have to do it outselves.

Trump needs to do much more of this, running the Presidency out of Air Force 1.

“A bad thing, to be hated and mocked.” She said without grasping the irony.

but, but.... I heard Major Garrett(CBS) say this morning that there were empty seats and that people were leaving early because people are tired of hearing the same old talk about immigration.

Yes, I only have a TV antenna.
