I remember thinking "I hope they don't assassinate him." at the time. He came along at what might have been...might still be...the tipping point for this country.

And yes, he's more "progressive" than is any Democrat today. They are all mostly leftists that masquerade as and call themselves progressive.

I also like to recall the moment I'm sure he decided to run for President; while I'm a little fuzzy on the details, it was at the annual Washington Correspondents Dinner, believe it was, and Obama was speaking, called him out on the Birther stuff (and never did the same to Hillary, even though it all originated from her camp) and then went on to say "There's a difference between you and me, Donald; I'm President and you'll never be."

I think remembering that and his recent challenge to Hillary and her response that he'd best not goad her or she WILL run is why he wants her to run; he wants to beat her again and honestly? She'd probably have the best chance of beating him. I doubt she could last through another grueling campaign, though.

I was very nearly a Never Trumper, but love my country and this speech changed my mind. For someone to have the courage to call out the biased media for the crooks and liars they are and to specifically mention the Clinton Crime Syndicate...well, my dislike of him faded away. He still says and does some things I don't agree with but he's definitely the right man for the job and at the right time in our history. I'd hate to think of what might have been had he not been elected.

Wow!

Stand on your head and "wow" spells "mom".

BRAVO! Double Down on Mike's insightful and independent commentary!

You're right MikeinTexas about when Trump decided to run...it was at that dinner when Obama tried to humiliate him...I remember seeing that on TV and the look on Trumps face because the camera zoomed in on him and you could see he was thinking...you ....(you know what) I'll show you and he did!
