He chewed every word. I could hear a little congestion in his voice, maybe a little sinus or cold. I couldn't believe me ears.
I pulled over to listen to it, it was that moving. I turned to see if Rush was carrying it, and he wasn’t, and in fact someone posted here that Rush actually was critical of Trump for speaking during his showtime. (Think about that Folks.)
I am telling you, I’ve never heard a leader speak like this. I recall Reagan doing it, when he told Iran’s leaders to release the hostages, but these are bad times, and it was a speech from someone, with the wisdom of the ages, who was telling us, "This is it. We turn this ship around or we sink, all of together."
This was the speech a leader gives after a Pearl Harbor. This is the speech Leonides gave to the 300 Spartans.
Trump’s speech was cold water in the face for the George Will’s out there. Anyone listening will have to say this man is no buffoon. This man is very very smart, and knows exactly what this country needs.
That's leadership. And, Donald Trump, is an exceptional leader who succeeded in an exceptional country.
Did Cruz hear it? Kasich? If they did, I'd have to ask why? Why are you staying in? If it is to keep this man OUT, then I will say to you, it ain't going to happen.
They sit, and criticize Trump, but this man transcends party lines. He talks to every man woman and child out there. WOW!!!! What a speech.
I will post the Live Thread streams below.

On Kasich:
Voters quickly moved on from Cruz and tried Kasich. But he turned out to be the spitting image of a homeless man. He's got the slouch, the facial tics, and a strange way of bouncing his head and looking around that makes you want to cross the street to avoid him. It looks like he cuts his own hair, and his suits are Ralph Nader cast-offs. He wolfs down food like a street person, has a hair-trigger temper, and rants about religion in a way that only he can understand.
Trump has the caliber to deliver.
Amazing right on speech! Prayers for DJ Trump!
Trump might be wearing you out, nikos, but you’re wearing me out with these threads. So many posts, I can’t keep up; I fall asleep reading the day’s thread. But the next day I have to try to keep up with the new one! LOL
Yeah, I know that I'm such an extreme Trump fan that it's hard to imagine me as objective. But this is no exaggeration: when one listens to that speech, it transcends the speaker. I heard the inspirational words, and at times was past thinking about who was speaking them.

Nikos, grania, all y’all ,
—This— is indeed the turning point, the rallying cry, the clarion call...
Foreign entanglements are a failed foundation!
“It’s all for nothing if you don’t have your freedom!”
What a week it’s been! Glad to see Trump out in CA already. Very important state this year and it could be the clincher for 1237 delegates. I’m guessing the Carly announcement by Cruz was calculated to peel delegates away from Trump there. Not going to work!
I saw his speech, I agree, magnificent. I do believe the audience was stunned, judging by the, at times, weak response (clapping). Not trying to be critical, but I don’t think he’s comfortable with a teleprompter.
It was a moving and awesome speech.....FROM HIS HEART!
At first I didn’t think he felt comfortable with the teleprompter, but as he started ‘owning’ the speech the passion took over from within him, and I was ready to stand and sing God Bless America!!!!!!

Hope Trump takes a power nap on the way to CA.
I know I’ll have to!
Bah. Local mid-day radio host is filling in for morning host this week. Don’t often hear the mid-day host but have liked what I’ve heard in the past.
Apparently he’s all in for Cruz. Yesterday he was dumping on Trump. Caller said Trump is now presumptive nominee and host went OFF on the caller.
Now this morning, he is saying it was presumptive of Cruz to pick Fiorina as VP, but mainly because that tosses Trump, Kasich, and Rubio to the side as potential VPs. And that she brings nothing to the table other than maybe some GOP primary help winning CA, but won’t help the GOP win CA in the general.
Then he goes on to say that the Trump foreign policy speech lacked substance, was nothing new, etc. Not sure what else he said because my radio went ‘click’ right after that.
Another thing that I see is this is a MAN who is paying his own way.....what a novel idea!
He is leading by doing, how often has Hillary paid her own way?

I have been listening to political speeches for a very long time. The “Trump” “foriegn affairs” speech yesterday, was one of the best I have ever heard. IMHO.....this man, Donald J. Trump, and the Talented, Dedicated, Smart, Loyal, Patroitic, people he will bring with him into the federal government is just what our country and people need right now. The Lord, God, Almighty, watches over this great Republic. First, comes George Washington, then Abraham Lincoln, then Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan....and, now, Donald J. Trump!!!
You hit the nail on the head nikos. The speech was moving. But it wasn’t just words of a politician....we know he means it. A man like Trump comes along once or twice in a lifetime. Our young people feel so hopeless and helpless. Young people need a vision. They need to be proud of this Country. That isn’t taught in the public school system. They need jobs they can support themselves and a family on. People joining the military need to know they will always be appreciated and taken care of. We will all know America’s best days are ahead... not behind us. And yes, We will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!
Nice photos but the harbor is part of Newport Beach, the next city. Should have shown a photo of the city’s “trademark”, the South Coast Plaza.
The fairgrounds’ amphitheater is nice but wished they picked the larger Verizon Amphitheater in Irvine, about 8 miles away. Both have easy access from John Wayne Airport.
Good morning nikos. Good morning everyone.
Well chosen words by Mr. Trump- words which we haven’t heard the likes of in a very long time, and a concisely stated description of DJT’s speech by you today, nikos. Thank you.
