Nice!

I have seen reports of from 12,000 to 34,000.
SInce there was no official count, anyone can say anything.

Asked directly whether he would serve as Mr. Trump’s running mate, or would entertain asking the billionaire businessman to serve as his running mate, Mr. Carson indicated it’s a possibility.

“I think all things are possible. But it’s much too early to begin such conversations,” he said.

If you really think Trump was serious about oprah, you might want to have the arteries leading to your brain checked.

[odawg]

It stands to reason, based on security concerns and tickets handed out that someone knows specifically.

[entropy12]

Yes, I can not believe the desperation of anti-Trumpers on this site. They will dig up any old quotes out of context and totally ridiculous.

I guess hell hath no fury like your own candidate scorned.

[entropy12]

I would retract my support for Mr. Trump for sure, if he selects Jeb as his running mate.

Better include tough-talking Wisconsin Sheriff Dave Clarke. Clarke is considered a rock star in conservative circles.

Clark could be dynamic VP material.

Milwaukee’s tough-talking black sheriff, David Clarke, argued this week that white Americans have “made great strides” in healing race relations, and that sooner or later they’re going to grow tired of having their noses “rubbed in the past sins of sins of slavery.” (Fox News via The Daily Surge)...

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke didn’t pull any punches in his assessment of the Rev. Al Sharpton — who vowed to keep fighting for justice for slain Ferguson teen Michael Brown, despite the feds’ decision to drop a civil rights investigation — and characterized him on national television as less than intelligent and unworthy of respect.

“The grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, got it right,” Sheriff Clarke said, during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.” “Officer [Darren] Wilson has been exonerated. The thing I want to know is how does he get his reputation back?”

Sheriff Clarke then directed anger at Mr. Sharpton, who spoke sharply in the wake of Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision not to prosecute Mr. Wilson, a former police officer, on civil rights charges.

CLARKE “I don’t expect anything intelligent to come out of the mouth of Al Sharpton,” Sheriff Clarke said, Mediaite reported. “We know he is a charlatan. Al Sharpton ought to go back into the gutter he came from. The police officer is owed a lot from him, Eric Holder and the president of the United States.”

Hey Donald, give Hillary a good old Trump Thump!

[entropy12]

Yes, and he is very articulate also. However a “cop” will turn off all the “black lives matter” crowd.

[conservativejoy]

That sounds plausible. Unraveling Obamacare Carson can do, I just don’t think he is ready for President.

[Liz]

A plus for Sheriff Clarke......Donald will love ****ing off BLM.that......

"True.. TRUMP has got conservatives by the short hairs.. and is 'tugging'....."

I see your perspective, and it's true in that sense. But real conservatives like myself are watching the spectacle of rising socialism (fascism) with suprise at the size of it.

In another sense, Trump has many who depend on government for incomes by the shorthairs in their brains, and they like it for now. If they get what they want, they won't like that for long.

First, with Trump's folks' plan for big taxes and big spending, they'll see capital flight, slowdowns in business activity and bond collapse. They'll see the default process accelerate. Many millions of them will be laid off. Millions of others will take pension haircuts, because the bond holders won't take haircuts alone.

Rebulding will begin afterwards with the deposed, bipartisan socialists out of the way. Get ready for dry times now. Get ready to produce after they've shot their wad and no longer have money or time for politics.

"Who else would you pick?"

Behind each one of those weasels is an anonymous producer who is the real brains behind their leftist propaganda.

"Hard to scale an automatic weapon..."

Easy to avoid it.

I’m not saying that the situation is hopeless, but a real solution is in drying up the jobs situation for foreign slaves.
