Trump's rally today was the same old crap, but he did say that Hillary is the founder of ISIS.

Here's a recap:

He's leading in Ohio & Florida and tied in PA. (that was his intro).

Major rant about the $400 million shipped to Iran. And did you know that the video of the cash being unloaded in Iran was filmed by their military and then given to us to embarrass the U.S.?

"Iran provided all of that footage of taking all the money off that airline. Amazing thing. They have a perfect tape done by obviously a government camera. That means that in order to embarrass us further, Iran sent us the tape. It was a military tape. Iran released that tape so that we will be embarrassed. 2 days ago, one of their cops said we don't care about the deal with our country - we're not going to abide by any rules with our country. Iran is now a power and they are going to have nukes much sooner than we think. They want the oil in Saudi Arabia."


The FBI director said Hillary lied (repeated a 2nd time even louder).

If Obama had the choice again, he'd love to have a do-over in his choice of Secty. of State.

Then he started talking about Sanders and how the system is rigged.

"You have Bernie Sanders people voting for Trump. They like Trump. The system was rigged for Bernie. The super delegates. When we run we have to make sure you don't have people voting 10 times."


There is then some commotion and as he is pointing into the crowd he says,

"Oh there he is, you can get him out. You know what that is? That's the final remnant of Bernie's protesters."


"Wouldn't that be embarrassing to lose to crooked Hillary Clinton? If we don't make it all the way it's gonna be a waste of time, don't you think?"

"Bernie - how angry was he at that convention? An angry man."

"She picks a VP candidate that's the exact opposite of what Bernie's people stood for."

"Virginia - we had a massive crowd, we turned away 5,000 people."

He then compared the two VP picks - Pence obviously great and Kaine obviously bad.

"Infrastructure. Got to fix it. Compare our airports to those in the middle east."

"Saw a documentary the other day. Our fighter jets are like 18 years old."

"We're gonna have strong borders. The border patrol has endorsed Trump. Sheriff Joe. Tough cookie. He's endorsed Trump."

"We gotta stop being the stupid country run by stupid people."

"BTW I endorsed Marco Rubio, he endorsed me."

Then he did his shtick on how the ads Hillary is running are all phony and tried to explain why. Three ads specifically: Blood coming out of her ears, mocking the disabled reporter, and his Brexit comment while in Scotland.

"By the way, I was the one who predicted independence!" (Brexit)

"We have early backing from the NRA - lovely people." "We have the evangelics." "We have religion. Gonna get rid of the Johnson Amendment."

"We have the justices, the NRA, the evangelicals."

He then talked about how he was gonna make any company moving their plants to another country pay a 35% tax if they want to sell their product in the U.S. "Now they're not going to do it. So they won't leave because it makes no economic sense."

Gonna get rid of common core - "bringing education locally."

"We're gonna win so much I'm going to get a call from the great Brian France. He'll say, 'Donald, we need to talk,' and I'll say, 'Brian, it's not Donald, you have to call me Mr. President.'" Then it's the same old story, Brian will tell him that Daytona Beach is winning so much, they can't take it anymore and he'll implore Mr. President to just stop, but Trump will say, "I'm not gonna stop, Brian, you can't make me stop."

Walks off stage.

Other than Hillary being the founder of ISIS, getting off on imagining people calling him Mr. President, and being the only one to have predicted Brexit, it was the same formula.

It was interesting though to get a close-up of his notes as he folded them and put them in his jacket pocket. Imagine unlined paper with maybe 4 or 5 sentences hand-written in black sharpie pen (not gold) with arrows and squiggly things. It looked like he wrote it up against a wall at the last second.

Truth.

No one can make Trump stop. He thinks he's actually right and the rest of the world is wrong, about everything.
That was one superlative impression of a Palin Word Salad!

The same disjointed structure...
The same conspiratorial bent...
The same cues for the audience to applaud...
The same annoying head bobs during the scripted applause lines...
The same jingoism...
The same racism...

The difference (as near as I can tell) is that Trump is transparently NOT religious, and he comes across as straight-up lying or pandering when he tries to reference "the" evangelicals....Palin was a bloodless zealot true believe who went as far as having the African witch-hunting priest lay hands on her and pray for her, a level of crazy that is different than Trump, but no better.

It is as if the GOP decided after Caribou Barbie failed that the best idea would be to double down and go whole hog with a completely insane spray-painted narcissistic male version of the same thing instead. Makes the mind reel.

Odd that CNN cut away after the first few minutes cause Trump was "on message& today.

Regarding......

$400 million shipped to Iran. And did you know that the video of the cash being unloaded in Iran was filmed by their military and then given to us to embarrass the U.S.?

"Iran provided all of that footage of taking all the money off that airline. Amazing thing. They have a perfect tape done by obviously a government camera. That means that in order to embarrass us further, Iran sent us the tape. It was a military tape. Iran released that tape so that we will be embarrassed. 2 days ago, one of their cops said we don't care about the deal with our country - we're not going to abide by any rules with our country. Iran is now a power and they are going to have nukes much sooner than we think. They want the oil in Saudi Arabia."

--Actually nobody wants much oil these days, price has dropped Donald. As for a "tape", where is it and how would you know anything about it. Another distortion.

The FBI director said Hillary lied (repeated a 2nd time even louder).

The FBI Directer specifically stated that Secretary Clinton did not lie to the FBI.


If Obama had the choice again, he'd love to have a do-over in his choice of Sec. of State.

Obama did have a do over in John Kerry. Paying attention?

"You have Bernie Sanders people voting for Trump. They like Trump. The system was rigged for Bernie. The super delegates. When we run we have to make sure you don't have people voting 10 times."

Who is he talking to? Himself, the crowd, Bernie Sanders supporters he does not permit to talk during his rallies? See below example.


"Oh there he is, you can get him out. You know what that is? That's the final remnant of Bernie's protesters."

"Wouldn't that be embarrassing to lose to crooked Hillary Clinton? If we don't make it all the way it's gonna be a waste of time, don't you think?"

So then, people should vote for the Narcissist so that "The Donald" does not waste his time.

"Bernie - how angry was he at that convention? An angry man."

All I recall are comments praising Bernie Sanders gracious demeanor. Not everyone is delusional Trump.


"She picks a VP candidate that's the exact opposite of what Bernie's people stood for."

Clinton picked a VP who is honest, straight talking and doesn't look like a vampire a.k.a. Pense or whatever his name is.

"Virginia - we had a massive crowd, we turned away 5,000 people."

Hardly. Another exaggeration.


"Infrastructure. Got to fix it. Compare our airports to those in the middle east."

Um, which "middle east" you talking about Trump? Or can't you remember your countries in that part of the world?

"Saw a documentary the other day. Our fighter jets are like 18 years old."

Actually they are more around 25 collectively. And yes there is interest in improving our fleet. However the average age of replacement for fighter jets IN SERVICE is at 10-20 years of age, depending on their use.

"We're gonna have strong borders. The border patrol has endorsed Trump. Sheriff Joe. Tough cookie. He's endorsed Trump."

Talking in the 3rd person again. Delusional.


"We gotta stop being the stupid country run by stupid people."

Right, because you and you alone can do it all. Not. Maybe, just maybe, you "gotta" stop being a stupid candidate run by a party of stupid people. Or a stupid boss who runs his stupid companies into being bankrupt.

"BTW I endorsed Marco Rubio, he endorsed me."

After you both proved that you're each a loser.

He then talked about how he was gonna make any company moving their plants to another country pay a 35% tax if they want to sell their product in the U.S. "Now they're not going to do it. So they won't leave because it makes no economic sense."

Um...going to need to get along with a Congress to do that. Not likely.


Gonna get rid of common core - "bringing education locally."

And this means, children, that the state laws re: Common Core, will mean -0- under The Donald. Not going to happen.

"We're gonna win so much I'm going to get a call from the great Brian France. He'll say, 'Donald, we need to talk,' and I'll say, 'Brian, it's not Donald, you have to call me Mr. President.'" Then it's the same old story, Brian will tell him that Daytona Beach is winning so much, they can't take it anymore and he'll implore Mr. President to just stop, but Trump will say, "I'm not gonna stop, Brian, you can't make me stop."

Btw, don't you love how it was billed as a Town Hall? Nothing intimate about it, no Q&A, and no getting up & close with the audience.
