Trumps Thank You Tour

[jimbo2012]

What did you think of his speech last nite?

Thought he looked relaxed enjoyed it. A fun speech

He went after a few of his detractors.
Kasich was actually booed at a Trump rally in his home state. He will never recover politically.

How the MSM predicted he would lose
“The bottom line is we won…we won big

Named Mad Dog Mattis SecDef said he's the closest to Gen Patton.

“We’re going to take care of our inner cities and the people in our inner cities”
“The era of economic surrender is over; we’re going to fight for every last American job”
“Radical Islamic terrorism – we have to say the term"
“Never again will anyone’s interests come before the interests of the American people”
“People coming into our country have to be people that have the potential to love us, not to hate us”

Pense
“Thanks to you…we are going to build a wall & we’re going to end illegal immigration”
"In just 50 days we will have a president who supports law enforcement at every level"

Newt Gingrich:
‘Thank you tour’ reminds DC establishment that Trump is leading an army of Americans demanding change"
"Trump has an extraordinary energy level that we haven’t seen in a president since Theodore Roosevelt"

I am inclined to wait for results. He is a good show horse but now we are approaching whether he is going to be a good work horse as a President vis a vis a business man

I will give Mattis credit for saying that he doesn't believe in torture/enhanced interrogation...and was willing to tell Trump as much.

The jury is still out of course, on whether he is an advocate of throwing American troops at every problem overseas.

I don't know about you, but when I joined the USMC, it wasn't volunteering for the Peace Corps. They never taught us nation building, they taught us how to exterminate the opposition in the most efficient manner.

As for torture, it has been part of war for centuries, and I did see it in Vietnam too. I did not participate in it, but it was there. Whether or not you wish to argue the value of it, is a moot point. Personally, I believe in the Geneva Convention ONLY if the opposing entity wishes to abide by it. Otherwise, you cannot win a war if you are handicapped. In Vietnam, we were issued Geneva Convention cards to show the enemy if captured. We know how that went. Like I said before, whether or not torture has a place in war is not for those of us back home to determine. We want our wars won as fast as possible to save money and lives. But, we also seem to want to put stipulations on how OUR warriors can fight the war. Nosy Americans seem to want to observe how the sausage is made, and also wish to tell the chef their version of the recipe to use. They don't wish to cook though.

Our children join the service knowing fully that they may be called on to fight and die for their country. They do not decide whether or not the fight/war is worthy. They leave that up to our politicians to make the right decision. But, they join the service to learn how to fight and win. I do not know of anyone that joins the service that does not understand that they might be sent to war.

Like Patton, I believe that Gen Mattis will/has earned the confidence of those that he leads. It will be refreshing to have someone that understands the military being nominated to lead it, instead of a civilian with no military experience. Too bad we don't have more former military running for political office. It would be interesting to see how that would work in the White House today.

His track record to date should satisfy this general statement. Sounds a lot like an unfair, media or anti candidate scare tactic.

Good post. I appreciate your first-hand experience and insight. I have read a little about Mattis and also think he will be a good pick.

Regarding the Ohio rally, what a crowd! I thought Trump's speech was great, both on script and off. Now as PBR said in his post, let's see how he performs.

I finally can post something and agree with you.

As an American thus I sincerely hope whatever he does ends up on the positive side.

I opposed him but as I said....he is the President and thus I wish him well.

I still have very serious doubts on his motivation and his personal business interests but time will tell.
