11. In Trump's glorious speech at the black tie gala, how many times did he mention any opponent by name?
12. How many times did Cruz mention Trump by name?
My $.02 on Kasich FWIW. Given he’s running for president, I think he had to say something like he didn’t want to be VP. If he said that, everyone/many would be telling him to drop out and align with Trump or Cruz or ?? I agree with your comments about the GOPe and Ohio electoral votes.
Hey, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere - go for it! Maybe start with a lighter one? I may have a glass of wine with my lunch whilst watching the 1st rally - have to see (don’t know what I’m making for lunch yet).
I’m with you TontoKowalski-
This is something I opined about yesterday with Colorado in mind.
<<< <> >>> Having the confusion and chicanery brought out into the open seems to be of great value, aside from what winning some of the delegates might be worth. The average person has trouble willing themselves to vote, let alone taking the time to understand the voting process itself, which is being revealed as anything but fair, certainly inconsistent from state to state. Trump is capitalizing on this and his whining is actually being transformed into winning by aligning with the voters that see themselves disenfranchised. Further loyalty and more cross overs to Trump. <<< <> >>>
Great minds think alike.
Back to the inner bowels of Free Republic... my shift has just started. ;0)
bump for later
I would like to see Duncan get an interview with Trump for VP. Definitely cut from the right stuff.
<<< <> >>> The day after the September 11 attacks, Hunter quit his job and joined the United States Marine Corps. <<< <> >>>

You are CORRECT in this assumption!!! There was a man on the street show Bernie supporters are not the brightest bunch, however MANY of them said they would go Trump if Hillary is nominee!!!
Did some I/T training in Hartford many years back. Beautiful area when I drove around.
I’m a little late but GO Trump!!
A young face of 40 and you know he’s gained a lot of knowledge from his daddy through the years. Trump knows business inside and out. They should have a lot in common to talk about and also good ideas on our economy situation. A big plus with his service background to boot.
I agree 100% and I want term limits on these people...they are some of the biggest welfare frauds in America...
As you pointed out. Hilary really needs to be the one Trump goes against. Young people will go to Trump before Hillary or just stay home. Stay home is more like it.
Thank you, nikos, for setting up these thoroughly researched Trump Rally threads for us each day!
I LOVE my NEW nick name I GLADLY accept it!!! THANK YOU!!!
I think it fits, KC. If you would only be more vocal and tell us how you REALLY feel more often ;-)
Just caught the tail end of “I’ve Been Trumpified” at the rally. Lots of red hats and Trump Bros there :-)
There are Bernie supporters that will be much more willing to vote for Trump over HRC. He will probably easily harvest more once the GE gets going.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!! Welcome to our Trump family, I am noticing many new people jumping on board!!! So GLAD to have you, if you go outside this threads boundaries please DO NOT get discouraged it is quite BRUTAL out there!!! Just bring yourself back to the safe zone!!!!

I meant to say I’m a little late to the thread.
I was on board for Trump when it wasn’t cool. lol
Of course, for a few, it still isn’t cool. Which is cool with me.
;)
HA! look at this....
Unbound delegates in Louisiana are fuming over media reports that they have decided to back Ted Cruz over Donald Trump in the presidential GOP primary, calling them untrue. Trump edged out Cruz in the Louisiana primary that was held March 5, though the margin was close enough that each candidate ended up taking 18 delegates.

I agree and think Trump will actually pull a fair number of Bernie supporters if it is Trump v Clinton
