Behind both Obama and Haley speeches, Trump looms

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump was not in the room during President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union speech, but the Republican presidential front-runner held the center of attention nonetheless.

Both Obama’s speech on Tuesday, and for that matter, the Republican response by South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, took pains to rebuke Trump, the real-estate mogul whose red-hot rhetoric has endeared him to some and dismayed others in the campaign for the Nov. 8 presidential election.

Rent free living is the best.

These people are the best free advertising Trump could hope for.

They think if they play nice the media will like them. GOP managers are some of the stupidest people on the planet.

Pray America wakes

It is the money behind the RINOs that is speaking. A trump win means the lobbyists and the monied hacks are moved off the stage with access to the white hut. Of course they will still have their congressional access which will be a huge problem with a trump win because he will not just be fighting the dems
he will be fighting the shills like McConnhole and Mr. Rayon.

Don’t forget Saudi cash, and pro muzzie Soros cash. I don’t think the Brotherhood will gain too many more govt positions under Trump. He’s got a few more enemies than the limp er, wristed rinos.

I have searched for the word that best describes Trump. Oliphant found it. The word is “looms.” Whereever Trump is and even where he is not, he looms over everything and everybody. The military recognizes this quality and rates its officers accordingly. In military parlance, it is referred to as “command presence.”

Not just Trump but the American people who are tired of leaders who think they rule instead of represent the populist

“Command Presence”

I haven’t heard that spoken of in quite some time.

I’m a Cruz supporter but I give Trump credit.
He is someone who commands the attention of others.
He is the ten ton elephant in the room who everyone wishes was somewhere else.

Even though I hope Cruz wins it all, I just had a flash of a President Trump calling out the do nothing Congress and telling Americans we need to FIRE their butts.
