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?
I agree, Sam!
First time I’ve heard him mention GE - good he did!
spot on fox..
You’re very welcome, GG!
LOL!
I started listening to Rush in '89 and stuck with him through thick and thing and TWO SOLID WEEKS WHERE HE TALKED AND GIGGLED ABOUT TOE FUNGUS, when he was F'ed up on Oxy.
I haven't listened to Rush in moths now, due to his ANTI-TRUMP crap and how he goes off on Trump supporters. I shall NEVER listen to him again and shan't buy any more of his books for my grandson. I'M DONE, OVER, FINSISHED!
We're all here for one another and WE have happy and safe threads. :-)
Last night Teddy looked like a WAITER; his studs were all WRONG and his tie TOO DAMNED BIG!
OTOH, Trump is always well turned out and always has been! I wonder if he gets his clothes at Paul Stewart's. :-)
true dat.. guessing DJT ordered a dozen new suits to accommodate and Cruz said, well, we can make this work..
Ha.. right!
I have been saying this for almost a year now, but it's true....Trump is like our FFS !
Just able to join in, after a LOOOOONG day at work.
Your post made me LOL, KC, about the Levin ‘cRuz fighting for Constitution his entire life’ meme.....that’s what cRuz started off with at the gala, last night, and ALL he ever says. You have his life’s timeline spot on....and it bears repeating....
......Cruz Fighting for constitution entire life, ENTIRE LIFE, excuse me he was in school until damned near 30 so what is he NOW 43, I MEAN GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! He has a VERY short life of achieving NOTHING except being a LAWYER in GOVERNMENT!!!!
LOL....Hammer meet nail.
Excellent observation-a combination of TR and Reagan.
Neither of those men would have put up with political correctness for a second.
My comments were incomplete. There should have been a big if included, meaning Kasich may be courted for his delegates only if DJT comes up short after ALL the dust settles in the delegate alignments. I fervently hope that it doesn’t get to that point. Should DJT reach the magic count of 1,237 delegates by the Convention’s start, then Mr. Trump will have his own running mate. (stating the obvious) ;0)
NOTHING and I mean NOTHING gets past the TF.
Speaking of which. Anything new from NE recently.
Why so quiet ? Waiting? LEO involved ?
Drip drip drip ........
I agree KC! Seats or floor space - doesn’t matter as they only let so many in.
Add Jackson to the mix.
He was certainly not PC
My grandfather was a HUGE T.R. fan, so I grew up hearing his stories about campaigning for T.R. and how great Teddy was. I LOVE hearing REAL history, from people who lived it!
I worked on both of Reagan's winning presidential campaigns, so I lived through all of THAT history. :-)
As an avid student of American political history, I made that connection and do believe that I am correct. Of course, Trump is also his own man, as well. ;^)
I agree - used to listen to Levin and Rush - haven’t listened to either in a long time (peruse Rush’s site from time to time for what he said that day - no 24/7 membership)
I also hope the Colorado videos go viral!
Ugh - Megyn just came on and talking about Trump’s article in the WSJ. Gotta get up and find the remote and change channel. Chris Stirewalt (sp) is on now - running for the remote.
OMG could you just imagine, a YUGE number of FREEPERS coming to retrieve Kit cat from jail!!! Let’s hope this NEVER has to happen, although I have been looking into visiting angles for my mom!!! I would also have to hire staff for catering events I have booked!!! It is GETTING DAMNED close to my becoming a Trump roadie!!!!!!
