I can believe that, there were a lot of people there.

The insurance companies get the government mandating the purchase of their products which cost much more than before. They were all about Obamacare.

No tax is a very good option, really, but a tariff is the least intrusive into the lives of the American People. The despicable income tax allows the feds to snoop and intrude into our private lives where they have no business.

“Retaliation” is probably true but so many miss the fact that a tariff is a tax on the country creating the tariff. Tariffs create higher prices in the country setting the tariff, so tariffs hurt the country setting the tariff. It’s like shooting yourself in the foot. Why do they use it? Because, like minimum wage, it make the government LOOK like it’s doing something to help the economy when in fact it is doing just the opposite. Other countries’ tariff do not affect our costs and prices to them - it artificially raises their prices to their own consumers so it hurts them.

Read up on ‘comparative advantage’ online. Tariffs make everyone poorer.

Yes, I too am waiting with baited breath to hear him use his personal story to inform us voters. He seems to be quite methodical in what he presents out there, and when and where he presents it. I mean, I guess it’s methodical.

I expect some phase of the campaign to include his family history, his youth and background really look forward to hearing it.

I harp on his outreach to minorities because I believe they are out there, due to what we have seen and heard so shockingly early in his campaign from minority supporters.

In the South, go get ‘em, Donald.

I’ve studied this stuff. Yes, of course tariffs makes everyone poorer, except, of course, the government. But that’s how a tax works. TAXES make everyone poorer, but at some point some kind of minimal tax is actually needed to keep the legitimate part of the feds running. The point is that tariffs are probably the least intrusive tax, income tax being the most obnoxious and intrusive method.

Tariffs are a legitimate form of taxation but an invalid economic tool because it is a self-inflicting detriment to the country putting up the tariff. The only affect it may have on the importing country is lowering demand because the consumer of the importing country, who everyone seems to forget, now has to pay more for the product. But the importing company can simply find other places to ship and at some point, competition between countries will force at least some to lower their tariffs to give them economic advantages over the higher-tariff countries.

The La pasted speaking out against BLM and the black woman who stood up to the town council who appointed two illegals to advise the board both spoke on Fox yesterday. Both were Trump supporters
The woman who appeared to be in her fifties said she was fired because she didn’t speak Spanish.
A friend said here says that is very common and one reason Mr T is making movement in inner city
FYI Trump and Dr Ben have been friends for years. So he does have someone working the inner city on his team. Carson said “he’s just a guy in the .....area!” Big smile
He also said the private Trump is nothing like the public persona. That Trump is one of the kindest, most considerate generous men he knows

That same sentament was echoed by Alice Cooper who was celebrating his 40 anniversary (born again Christian). Cooper is often in Trump foursome He laughed about his own public appearance. He’s 30 years sober and family grounded

Have you read the material on the Trump History Thread?
I’ll FREepmail you the key word to find it and many other relative threads

No, tariffs don’t just make people poorer by the amount they are taxed, they keep every country from producing their best, most efficiently, and for the greatest profit—leading to the great wealth.

Go study comparative advantage again.

[petitfour]

Yes, well, there were a lot of persons who would have attended were it not for the timing. Teachers, students, parents, etc. there could have been a much bigger crowd. That is all I am saying.

[uncitizen]

You mentioned teachers not being in attendance due to the timing which brings to mind the RAT events. Hillary and Bernie WILL get teachers and all other union groups to attend. Its practically a requirement for them. The big Bernie rally that had 27k people... How many of them were there out of obligation? Whereas those were regular people and families who showed up for Trump.

[HandyDandy]

Which reminds me............Our Secretary of Sate, John (why the long face?) Kerry has been refered to around here as “Mr. Secretariat”. What was Trump talking about when he spoke of Secretariat?

[chasio649]

Yep...I do agree...to make your point...My best friend coaches football for little 8 year olds...They were at a game during the event..He really wanted to go but had other obligations. Now that i really think about it....I think the stadium will hold 42000 max.....the infield was packed and the seating was half full...safe to say it was 30,000 that attended.

[Ladysforest]

Here it is. At 3:08 ish you can hear my neighbor start to holler, then a few seconds later you hear my husband yell out, “where’s Monica?”.

[Ladysforest]

OOOps - that should have been at 2:08 the yelling starts.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Hehehe! Thanks for the vid!

I'm very impressed by these images. Thanks for posting them caww. I find these extremely unusual in the political world of 2015 America. We are watching history here.

I couldn't help but notice how up front and personal he is with his supporters. This guy is real. His confidence shines and the draw to this man is clearly a sign of genuine real hope for America, who is in desperate need of leadership.

One other thing from a security aspect. Those providing close in security no doubt love this guy as he is real and genuine. I am confident he treats them with the utmost respect, as they do him. I have no doubt whatsoever those folks are 10 times more vigilant because of who he is and how he treats them. It must be very clear to them this man really loves America and has faith in our people. Seeing what it did for him and his family going back many years, I am very confident about this as well.

Just the fact Trump got so close to so many unknowns in this extremely large crowd is stunning from my perspective. He knows the risks and is briefed on these matters long before hand. He clearly wants to be close to the people and shows he is really passionate person about our people and the country. Regarding all this, for the professionals profilers providing inner circle security, those with bad intent would very likely not be too difficult to key in on. Threats from mass murderers like the Mexican El Chapo does not impress Trump one bit. El Kabong is no doubt sweating this election as much as the corrupt professional politicians in D.C.

The more I watch this history in the making, the more I like this guy. Thanks again caww.

Trump said he would fund Planned Parenthood if they stopped doing abortions.

In other words, if they continue doing abortions they will be de-funded.

What part of that is unclear to you?

What part of that offends your moral sensibilities?
