At Trump rally, Republicans experience Obama-sized crowd, excitement
Washington Examiner ^ | September 15, 2015 | By BYRON YORK

That's not what the crowd wanted. "I like the fact that he's not afraid to speak up," said Cheryl Surber, of Ft. Worth. "He's saying a lot of things that a lot of people want to have said that no Republican has had the male parts, so to speak, to say."

"He has energy, he's exciting. I know he's got a big mouth, but people are willing to overlook that big mouth because we feel like he's going to get things done," said Mary Downing, of Dallas, who said she voted for Obama twice.

All in all, it was a big, raucous crowd and a big, raucous evening — an event one might assume would make Republican Party officials deliriously happy. But Republicans aren't used to a candidate who can draw an Obama-sized crowd. Instead of delighting GOP officials, Trump's emergence and still-growing appeal have instead made them nervous, amid worries his penchant for controversy will eventually blow up in the party's face.

Perhaps it won't last. But for the moment, both the crowd and Trump appear to have a sense that they have set off something big. "You are going to be, if I'm elected president, so proud of your country again," Trump told the audience at the end of his speech. "You're going to remember this evening, and you're going to say to your children, and you're going to say to anybody else, that we were part of a movement to take back our country. And we will make America great again."

"Actually, I think people like the big mouth," said Downing's sister Alice Schoenhofer, of Wichita, Kan., "because he's saying all kinds of things people feel, but they never really come out and say."

"He's kind of like your alter ego," Mary added.

Obama sized crowd? Does that mean he is bribing them to be there with famous rock bands and free hand-outs?

I hope Obama chalks The Donald phenomenon as his biggest failure. It won’t happen though, he’ll blame whitey.

“Did anyone faint?”

Yes. Other candidates and their handlers mostly.

Oh, these RATS turn out. I’m not even going to ask whether they’ve lived and learned, just need that vote.

At least the kids seem to have learned from their little 8yr side-trip through socialist and liberal hell.

I heard Glenn Beck trying to equate Trump with Obama today and said he could become a dictator. lol! Not going to work. One wants to destroy the country and the other wants to make it great again.

I heard that Glenn Beck was worried that if Trump were to get elected, Beck would no longer have a job.

He commented that there were no teleprompters.
Leftists need to be jabbed with this often.
Obama is not brilliant. He reads other people’s words.

I am such a cynic these days, I am starting to wonder if we are being punked. I wonder if the Obama minions have been instructed to flood Trump's speeches to make it appear he has more support than is true. I remember in the 2012 election cycle, we were being told that Obama’s venues were only half full. But a Leftist friend told me that she couldn't get a ticket to see Obama in her city......and after the event, we were shown a picture of a half empty venue. Just something to consider. Maybe the robot Dems are instituting their own ‘Operation Chaos’?

I know women don’t want an economy in which they must struggle to survive nor a country with no borders in which illegals can come in and shoot them. Nor do they want people who give Iran nukes so we can all go out in one big bang. They do not want someone who speaks in a monotone while our country is being destroyed and they certainly don’t want to be betrayed by those they put into office to stop all of this.
