Donald Trump speaking in Springfield, Illinois, November 9th, 2015.

Business Insider is following Donald Trump on the campaign trail this week.

Last night, Trump spoke at a rally in Springfield, Illinois. More than 10,000 people attended. It was standing-room-only, floor to rafters. According to the Trump campaign, Trump's attendance shattered a record set by Elton John 37 years ago.

In the view of this Business Insider reporter, many political pundits do not yet appreciate how compelling a speaker Trump is. They also do not yet appreciate how much passion and energy he can inspire. Trump's can-do reputation and the public's disgust with normal politicians and politics as usual are fueling a startling degree of fervor in his supporters.

In short, this Business Insider reporter believes that Trump's potential as a candidate is still being underestimated.

Springfield is where Abraham Lincoln is from. President Obama launched his own campaign from there as well.

The shrieking fairies and carping harpies of media, and the toga-ed lardasses of the Rovian Rino Herd will strut and fret--until election night when their wailing and gnashing of teeth will provide depth to thunderous cheering. Effete protestors to the contrary notwithstanding the vast dark matter consisting of clingers will triumph.

I nearly choked on my Iowa pork chop when I read that!

Excellent.

A good man that enabled the devils Obama's and Iran's $150 billion nuclear deal and put Israel's security at risk by voting away his constitutional right of veto...

That doesn't sound like something a good man or a right thinking conservative would do.

At least 65% of FR was for the Bad Haircut exactly at that time.
Carson, is that you?

I think FR wasn't even a dream in 92.

” Jeb drew about 75 and promptly put them to sleep.” >>>

Your comment made me think that Jeb would have to *literally* draw, with crayon, a picture of any audience of his to even get a crowd looking like this!!! %:D)

Cruz will be the “only” placer.

Being the only conservative, and the only honest candidate makes that a certainty.

If he wins I’m going to laugh, and laugh, and laugh.

The MSM made him. The Republican party, with their hatred and scorn for their OWN BASE, made him. They can’t believe that the dog they’ve been alternately petting and kicking around the room for thirty years is suddenly waking up and turning on them.

Be smart, folks. The elitist pubs haven’t given up. We blink for one moment, they will shove a corrupt donor Wall street Repub down our throats with a bait and switch so fast we won’t know what hit us. They would rather Hillary and her socialist ilk rule for a hundred years than anyone who talks about stopping the gravy train into corrupt Congress pockets and restricting immigration, anyone out of the grips of the lobbyists.

What the MSM pretends not to know is that the people have caught on to the fact the Republicans are just fine with Barack Obama, because they really don’t have a problem with the taxpayer being robbed blind by overpowering big govt that can’t be resisted.

I’m going to laugh at you, if Trump wins, or cry for the country, if the establishment effs him over.

Trump is not in it to win.

Cruz is.

A win for Trump (unlikely as it is) would be more Obama style disaster for the country. He has no idea what the job really is.
