It's Ted. Here is another pic from the "event".

That was the place to be. I was there even during a good part of Trump's time at the podium. The GOP race is at a fairly predictable point, the DEM race, not so much.
I’m not a Trump supporter, but my hat’s off to you for that post.
Good job of persuasively touting your guy’s strengths.
Obviously I believe that Trump has the country's best interests at heart. And I understand and respect that others get an opposite vibe, seeing Trump as a self-serving huckser, carnival barker.
I don't think that difference in view is amenable to reasoned debate, because the opposing points of view rely on more than objective evidence. I could argue my point of view, but I know it would never persuade somebody who is in the opposing camp.
Anyway, thanks again.
He and his speech writers determined that opening line was good???
>> I don’t think that difference in view is amenable to reasoned debate, because the opposing points of view rely on more than objective evidence.
That’s a good point. However there are always some folks who will evaluate solid evidence persuasively presented, so it doesn’t hurt to try, even though it may seem a bit futile when presented either to the choir or to the angry opposition. :-)
True that. I will say, when I composed that, I wasn't in a "persuasive" mood. I mistakenly thought I was posting in a Trump rally thread, preaching to the already converted!
I've made a very deliberate effort to not interact with any angry opposition. I think adding more noise to an already noisy place is a disservice. There is no upside, other than whatever satisfaction a person gets from venting their spleen in public.
>> I’ve made a very deliberate effort to not interact with any angry opposition.
I have noticed that. It’s to your credit. In the current climate, your posts do stand out from the noise, so there’s a tactical advantage to you for holding that line.
Just saying, it's not much to credit - sometimes self-serving and group-serving approaches are the same thing.
CPAC gave STANDING ovation to Lyin’ Ryan.
CPAC is NOT conservative.
In a perfect world, as they say. However, this is a corrupt, no holds barred, cheat to win world.
It’s true, I honestly don’t know who Cboldt supports. That’s meant as a complement to him not an insult to anyone else. I suppose with some digging I could figure it out but I’d rather not know at this point. (So don’t tell me please!)
I’m tired of fighting with FReepers I’ve known (by name) for years. If (or “when” is looking more likely every day) Trump gets to 1237 delegates I’m hitting the reset button and forgetting all the recent fights. I hope everyone else will do the same with me.
There is no comparing Trump to Hillary; so at that time we will have to press forward as a united front.
Looking at that tower, finished, it is hard to figure out how and why it gets the distinction of being the largest concrete building in the US. Dig into the construction details - fascinating.
Thank you again.
He is supported by Mitt Romney. He is supported by John McCain. He is supported by Bush. He is supported my the entire GOP establishment. All of them.
Trump is the one people want. Individual Americans. Millions of them fill stadium, after stadium, after stadium everywhere. They all support Trump strongly.
Those people are not the people, your statement is against. I think the people you are trying to make a statement to, are the same ones who are now supporting Cruz. Sorry but I do.
Cruz is now fighting Trump, on behalf of the entire GOP establishment.
He just is.
You need to look at who you are supporting once again.
This isn’t just about Texas. Texas has a number of very real grievances from history. I get that, but now is not the time, and Cruz is not the candidate, to address those.
America needs Trump.
Great post & analysis. Cruz looks smaller and weaker by the day. The more I listen to him the less I like him. Doing his “victory dance” and bragging because millions of people in Colorado were disenfranchised the right to vote is stupid, obnoxious, and only fits in a Communist dictatorship. Fighter for the Constitution? Fighter for the people? What a joke. He’s temporary tool of the GOPe and is interested in schmoozing and twisting the votes of the delegates, more than winning the hearts and votes of the people. People are seeing through his shenanigans and he’s dropping in the polls like a rock - as he should. TRUMP 2016
“softball gift of an hour was ruined for him by talking about watching hard core porn in front of his daughters”
He WHAT??!!
Why not have Kasich drop out?? you need him there to keep Cruz from beating Trump????
Here you go MS.B.. It was uncomfortable to watch live.

It was Trump's best speech, in my opinion, but not recorded on C-SPAN. To extend their bias beyond just all Republican candidates, the original screen promoting the show listed Cruz and Kasich but you had to click in a menu to get "more speakers" to see Trump's name. I watched C-Span with no sound while I watched the actual speeches on rsbn.org. C-SPAN is just another arm of the Democraticparty.
Well said and exactly true.
