He's been calling him a communist in the past. It's nothing new. It panders to the lowest information voters possible.

Sitting across from his stage but still at a distance that he was further away we didn't have any issues hearing him but you are right there was a group of very enthusiastic young people that was louder. The media was right behind that group so their mics may have caught it louder on tv than we did.

Only 1 black female protester was removed.
My child pointed,out some BDS students who are for Palestine and have spoken against Trump and they have stated to be in favor for Bernie but they were holding up Trump signs an we saw some commotion prior to Trump arriving near that group but a man close to the group walked over to the cops who standing on the,side and shortly thereafter a secret service man was standing next to this group and the group who had been vocal online stayed quiet and only waived Trump signs and half way they spread around the facility as we saw some showing up in the stands but nothing happened.
Later outside we saw them holding Palestina flags and signs but the Israeli flag was also out there to show support for Israel and Trump.
The local media (lefties)stated that they didn't know if Trumps claim of 5000 was true but according to fellow students of our son there were absolutely thousands and what they tho were approx 5000 outside as they were amongst them.

The protest outside was only to be heard by Trump supporters using the Trump name to silence the group of Bernie supporters as we didn't see any Hillary supporters.

The vendors had a great evening selling all their Trump caps, signs, shirts, pins, etc.

The best pin for me was D.A.D.D.D. Dad's against daughters dating democrats that students were wearing and my guess is that they were like 21-23 year old.

Amazing to attend.
Read that sentence out loud. What does that mean? If Mexico pays for it then it will be a small wall? The point of making Mexico pay for the wall is economic right?, or are we punishing them? If we build it higher wouldn't it just be more expensive? More importantly how does that seen like a logical explanation to you.

What it means is Trump is the one we need to negotiate with Mexico and they can do so in good faith or it will cost them even more. With Trump there is simply no way they can escape paying for the wall and the US will write the spec's and set the time table.

YUGE!

Yet another huge rally. 2nd day in a row that Trump holds a rally with more than 10,000.

Compare this to the rallies of any of the other candidates on either side these days.
