A sea of thousands of "Make America Great Again" hats were bobbing to "Macho Man" in the packed arena when the dire warnings about the consequences of a Democratic takeover of Congress began.

"They've become the party of crime. They have that mob mentality. They're not about jobs," he said, warning that a Democratic House takeover would spell one thing: "Chaos."

Then, he turned to stoking immigration fears, drawing on the caravan of several thousand migrants inching toward the southern US border and a slew of baseless claims.

"What happens if tomorrow morning everybody from South America, Mexico -- I'm not talking 5,000, 20,000, I'm talking 5 million, 10 million, 15 million people -- wake up tomorrow morning and say, 'Why don't we all just go to the United States and invade the country?' " he said. "You're gonna be like, 'Oh my God, what are we gonna do now?' You're not gonna be able to take your kids to the mall, to go eat ..."(continued)

Is he popular or not, CNN? Make up your minds.

As a corollary, does anyone have any first hand information on whether they are collecting the information of the rallygoers? It would be foolish not to do it. They can send out mass texts or emails to mobilize hundreds of thousands of very engaged supporters once they have the info.

Voters = Legions of supporters now?

The very real threat from the illegal alien inundation is clear, despite the Ministry of Propaganda’s best efforts.
1000 a day are already caught, who knows how many get through.
Multiple thousands are heading this way.
It is undeniable.
Yet they deny it.

Entering the United States illegally is not immigration.

CNN is Fake News.

That’s why Twitter and Facebook are banning people.

What I find funny is that the media was totally into the ObaMao crowds chanting mindless slogans like "yes we can", "change we can beleive in" and slogans from the master himself like "you can keep your doctor", "you can keep your plan" and "it will save the average family $2500 per year."

The key difference seems to be that Trump has mostly delivered or is at least trying to deliver whereas ObaMao knew he was lying. Who remembers people trying to hold ObaMao accountable for the "you can keep your plan" lie? He quickly dismissed such concerns with "It was a substandard plan."

He forgot Trump’s other “secret weapons”:

1.) keeping his campaign promises
2.) putting his country first
3.) eliminating job-killing taxes, regulations and trade deals

...to name just a few

Immagration fears

That is the understatement of the year.
To begin with they are not immagrants...and they are not asking permission to enter our country.

I banned twatter and faceplant, and have never been on either one.

Two left wing platforms that I don't need.

I don't use google, I use Bing or duckduckgo, and I have enough real, live, friends that the only electronic friends I need are here on FR.

Even some of the mooks that I fight with here on FR are still, mostly my friends.

I do regret that I was so hard on pissant, because he lived in a blue state, and prolly had brain rot due to the environment.

There are a few FReepers that I lock horns with, but mostly it's here today and gone tomorrow and means very little. I never take it too personal and rarely remember insults {going either way}, so if I've insulted any FReeper and you are still hurt or pissed, today is Megan Kelly and my day to say, "I'm sorry". {insert tears and sincere sorry face here}
