I'll ask whatever the **** I want. When you make a claim that's false, I'll challenge you on it. If wish that to stop, stop lying and making false claims. We know you have a history of being openly dishonest, like when you pretended you had children.

Stop being a lying **** and we don't run into these issues. The problem is with you, not me.

And we could always escrow.

It's obvious that the criticism from the media about his speech was made up. The crowd apparently applauded and seemed to support him. I don't see how anyone couldn't tell their reaction was positive towards him.

Plenty of member of Trump’s audience were right there with him. They clapped when he insulted the press and the specific videographers at the event. They booed when Trump made a passing mention of Hillary Clinton during an extended rant about how thoroughly he won the presidential election. They chanted “USA!” when he said that former Boy Scout and current Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price is “helping to keep millions of Americans strong and healthy” by getting the Senate votes necessary to start “killing this horrible thing known as Obamacare that’s really hurting us.”

"They seemed to get a lot of feedback from former scouts," the reporter said before Trump cut in to ask whether they had liked it.

The reporter responded, "It seemed mixed."

Trump disagreed with that assessment: "They loved it. It wasn't — it was no mix. That was a standing —"

"You got a good reaction inside the arena, that's right," the reporter said.

"From the time I walked out on the stage — because I know," Trump said, continuing his thought. "And by the way, I'd be the first to admit mixed. I'm a guy that will tell you mixed. There was no mix there. That was a standing ovation from the time I walked out to the time I left, and for five minutes after I had already gone. There was no mix."


Notice even the reporter admitted he got a good reaction. The entire thing is a joke. Did he get a good reaction or not? Did the crowd like his speech or not? Even the people criticizing him admit he got a good response from the crowd.

The whole thing is a complete joke. If you disliked his speech and what he talked about, that's fine. But to spin this into something it wasn't - that the people there hated it is a complete joke.

LOL wil thinks the criticism is about whether or not the crowd liked it

fwiw I think both sides are wrong here (don't false equivalence me here)

trump clearly alluded to orgies on yachts to boy scouts and you're defending that?

ticks me off dumb libs are more upset he did his usual campaign speech (to a right wing organization) than that.

Trump has no understanding of what he should or shouldn't talk about to boy scouts but many think he's smart and playing 4D chess or whatever nonsense.

I mean, would any of us have gone full campaign speech there? No? Then why is it being defended so hard?

It's about the overall reporting of the event. The crowd absolutely loved the speech, that much is totally obvious. The way the media covered it, though, would make readers believe he went up there, talked like a madman, and everyone felt uncomfortable and he ruined the entire event.

If you didn't like the speech and thought he should have toned it down, that's fine, I have no issue with that. But I think we've all come to realize that's just the way Trump talks. He's speaks in a very different manner than what we are used to hearing from politicians, and it infuriates the media that people actually LIKE it.

Also, it's note-worthy that in so many pictures with Obama it was always such a big deal how big his crowds were, and were constantly part of his pictures being released. Trump, not so much, if at all. When he says "they wont' show this crowd" at his speeches, he's not lying.

It's just how the media treats him. They do everything they can to disparage him, and I think it's out of frustration.

Hilarious.

Apparently his crowd sizes were enough for you to self-ban from 2+2 for two weeks after he deep dicked you. You know, when he was 5 points behind, 5% to win, and after the main forum lost >500k on the election.

Obviously SOMEONE is lying. The track record indicates your side is.

You are welcome to believe everyone hates Trump, but lol at you, considering the results.

It feels like a big crowd and it feels like everyone likes trump so it is so.
08-03-2017 , 08:25 PM
looked like the biggest crowd ever to me and u cant accurately measure a crowd size anyways so nobody really knows if it was the biggest or not
