As it turned out, someone earlier on this thread had posted the Anna Tomerlin information that has been copied from her original Facebook page to someone’s Wordpress page here:

I already had that window open when I typed my #282, but just hadn’t gotten around to looking at it yet. lol.
I’m still looking for the original Facebook post because the comments were very interesting and worth reading.
It was early September when we met for the first time in his 21st floor office of Trump Tower. When I walked in, Trump had the legendary college basketball coach Bobby Knight paying homage to him over speakerphone. Knight, who had never met Trump, apparently called him out of the blue to offer his support. I was slightly dubious about how “out of the blue” this really was, given how perfectly it was timed to my arrival, but Knight delivered a stirring tribute regardless. “No one has accomplished more than Mr. Trump has,” Knight raved after Trump informed him that a reporter was in the room. Trump nodded and motioned to the phone and made sure I had my recorder running. “What a great honor, man,” Trump said. “I will talk to you soon, and I won’t forget that you called. Thanks, Bobby.”
From an older article: http://www.sportsgrid.com/ncaa-basketball/bobby-knight-is-a-big-donald-trump-supporter-it-seems/
So, maybe he will get the endorsement timed right before Indiana votes!
It was YOU who first posted that page at #194. Sorry for the confusion!
Would still be interested in a ping if you find the Facebook post with the comments. TIA.
And Trump was true to his word. He has NOT toned it down!!
Remember that Trump ended up with an emphatic victory, beating the polls soundly, when he won the endorsement of Mike Ditka in Illinois.
I think there would be a similar Bobby Knight effect in Indiana. In addition, I think it would freeze a lot of regular pols from endorsing any other candidate.
I wouldn't imagine any of them would want to be on the opposite side of Bobby Knight in Indiana.
Of course, it's your state, so you would know better.
>>>We spend more money per student than any other country.<<<
What’s worse, than the gross negligence in spending versus the disastrous return on investment (in the test scores) which is abysmal at best... is the brainwashing and propagandizing that takes place at the hands of leftist administrators, and leftist teachers, at all levels of education.
The supplanting of the parent’s role with surrogates.
The erasure of patriotism and citizenship.
The decades of damage done to our youth, in rotting their minds with the constant pushing of sexual permissiveness, and moral decay, that- is the true cost we’ve paid as a passive society in “educating” our children.
Hi kristinn... your “new life” in Florida seems a lot more interesting in some ways than time in DC. Hope you are well.. AND happy
And then on top of that- children can’t even tie their shoes or add 3 + 3 and come up with 6 as the answer.
My uncle John coached basketball. Grandma told everyone who listened; Bobby called her son John and he called Coach , Bobby when they saw each other. Grandma’s funeral was the day IU won the national championship. If you noticed on several occasions the ball rolled round the rim and then fell in... Several swore Emma was tipping them in. Her last words to family “Damn I’m gonna miss the game!” We don’t think so!
Go Hooooooosiers VOTE TRUMP!
as in basketball BOBBY Knight? He is really loved in Indiana and respected around all BB circles
Did you find out what was going on? SS very nervous, only let him sign 4 or 5 things before they got him out.
I would like to see Bobby Knight endorse Trump and appear onstage with him, and Larry Bird!
I remember about 35-40,000 watching a FL rally the night of their primary, I think. But it kept freezing up and people were getting booted.
oh boy.. our first trump baby from FR.... yes, kitties and pups count. They are our fur babies.
I felt the same way at the Orlando Rally!
Pure awesome!
Saw Kristinn in Orlando with the media corp!.....felt proud to know him!!!!
Getting rid of Common Core will be a good step forward but it will be a "long haul" cleansing the educational system of the liberal/socialist effects over the past 4 plus decades......
Let's hope that Coach Knight can help Mr. Trump win the Great State of Indiana in a BIG way!!
It would be a huge endorsement!
There was a TV movie about Bobby Knight’s 1985/86 season called “A Season on the Brink.”
