In what many deem a stroke of political genius, President Trump served today as Grand Marshal of the Daytona 500 NASCAR race. He vowed to take a lap in the armored presidential limousine serving as a pace car, and did. Here are two short videos that show some of the action:

As you would expect, the president got an enthusiastic reception from the crowd of up to 200,000. NASCAR is famously patriotic, and Trump is a patriotic president. That may turn out to be the most fundamental difference between Trump and his Democratic opponent in November.
In 1972, I was discussing the upcoming presidential election with a friend from college. Both of us were on the left at the time, but my friend summed up the race succinctly: “Nixon is going to win because he is for America, and McGovern is against America.” It depends somewhat on who wins the Democratic nomination, but essentially the same dynamic will be on display this year

Agree.
Maybe it's because Trump finally took his old lady out for a ride somewhere in the car. That helps sometimes. Watching game shows on TV can get boring.
Your nickname says it all. That photo is when W was there.
Huh? Air Force One did a flyover today. The picture is dated today if you know how to look at the URL.
As far as my nickname, I am sorry, but I joined right before Bush became President the first time. Also, I was a lurker for a few years. Sorry about showing my Freeper age.
One thing I do notice about the forum is that people show a lot less class nowadays. People used to be able to discuss issues without looking for a fight.
that pic is from 2004:
FILE - In this Feb. 15, 2004, file photo, Air Force One rises above the packed grand stands along the super stretch at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. Bush arrived before the race, talked with drivers along pit road and gave the command for drivers to start their engines. President Donald Trump will look to rev up his appeal with a key voting demographic Sunday — NASCAR fans — as he takes in the Daytona 500.

Sorry, I was wrong. But it definitely could have been today.

If you look at the post — it said 2020/02
Easy mistake to be made.
One of the first lessons you learn in sales and marketing is: “No amount of advertizing can convince people to buy a bad product”.
Yeah but if he doesn’t show up at Indy he will be up for impeachment again. D’rats salivating.
Couldn’t you just see Donald Trump in the back seat screaming, come on hit it, I used to own a ferrari remember
Now we know why he uses those kind of words.
Wow, how cool is that? Where did the plane land?
Awwwaaaaahhh...
Powerline can’t bring themselves to be even rudimentary respectful to the President?
If PDJT did his lap and then it got rained out does that make PDJT the ONLY Non-NASCAR person to be the only one to cross the finish line on the official race day?
(After all, HE did finish what HE started and did HE actually drive the vehicle?)
Trump is like that little kid that dreamed of all those things he would do when he became president.
And now he’s doing them, and we get the cathartic experience through him.
This guy doesn’t miss a step.
Enjoy folks, we’ll never see the likes of this guy again.
Mygawd, does it get any better than your post 39?! He just ROCKS
Love it! I hadn’t seen that photo before. This is 21 years ago!
I’m not looking for a fight. I was only commenting on your name as it was in line with the fact that the photo was from 2004. Peace :)
