Could be template for what Senate GOP wants to see from the president Senate GOP leaders might be smiling after President Donald Trump’s rally Thursday evening.

A good first shot out of the cannon! Way to wake the Hoosier state up! Have a rally in one of its bluest areas.

FYI a "stem winder' is a boring speech/event.

It refers to men getting bored looking at their watches winding their (typically pocket) watch stems.

I know a watch having a stem is foreign to most people but they actually did have one.

Trump is finally in full campaign mode. He needs to make it permanent.

I believe a “Stem winder” is a rousing speech, a well accepted speech.

Elkhart County is solid GOP country; the county next door, St. Joseph, is run by some real leftist whack jobs, including South Bend mayor Pete Buttegieg, who is certifiably light in the loafers.

Sleepin’ Joe’s wife Jill is a college classmate of mine. When he was running for the House, he claimed to be pro-life, but when he got to DC, his first vote was for baby killing Nancy Pelosi. He failed in his obligations as a Catholic and a man. Shame on him.
