They are consistent and still important to many.

They also show he hasn't really done much of anything towards accomplishing them.

Lol
Yeah
manufacturing has not returned
His tax plan never happened
Unemployment did not go down
The wall isn’t being built
He didn’t get us out of the Paris agreement
He had no meetings with North Korea
He didn’t repeal the Obama Care mandate
ISIS is still growing

Yup nothing happening here.

Thanks I needed a good laugh today.

Hadn't noticed it ever left.

Of course he jumped on giving himself a tax break. Who wouldn't?

Unemployment did not go down

Continuing the trend it already was on for years.

The wall isn’t being built

Correct.

He didn’t get us out of the Paris agreement

Not sure how that's a good thing.

He had no meetings with North Korea

Two photo ops that went nowhere.

He didn’t repeal the Obama Care mandate

I heard we'd have it repealed and replaced with something better before last year's election. What that something even is, is yet to be revealed (or even determined).

ISIS is still growing

Indeed they are.

Yup nothing happening here.

Glad we're on the same page then.

Thanks I needed a good laugh today.

Always happy to help brighten someone's day.

That should probably be in the headline. A rally like this has a really good chance of breaking a venue record since the stage is significantly smaller than a basketball court and unlike a concert (Garth Brooks being a recent exception) it can be in the round so all of the seating can be used unlike losing one end. Also, I don’t believe this building has ever had a presidential candidate at it before. So congrats on getting a record Trump, but if that’s the best that can be said about you (and a headline generally is the top thing), I think you need to work harder.

The big headlines are coming, probably starting with the IG report on Comey in a week or so, the Horowitz investigation regarding the politicization of the FBI in about a month, and even the ruling of FISA court already turned over to the Justice Department about illegal spying more than 4 years prior to the election for the purposes of spying of individuals in the Repub party, directed by the Obama administration, as well as the courts determination that the FBI and top Justice Dept officials lied to get the fake dossier past that court, which started the momentum into the whole fake collusion narrative.

Don't worry. You are about to get your headlines.

FYI, there's a conspiracy theory forum which might be a better fit for these sorts of posts.

I'm going to paraphrase what I heard R. Limbaugh regarding the crowds Trump draws at his rallies. He described that when Trump was campaigning before the 2016 election, that he consistently spoke before huge crowds--a modern day phenomenon which the 2016 opposition had to take seriously.
It shows me that the rally crowds for a candidate are a good indicator of how well the candidate does in the election.

He never seems to come up with any new material. Every speech he gives, it's the same exact talking points from 3 years ago.

Welcome to conservatism. I haven't heard a new idea out of the right in decades. I don't listen to Limbaugh much these days, but every time I do, he's still spouting the same stuff he did back in the 90s when I was a Dittohead. I don't know how someone can keep yapping the same thing for 3 hours every days for 25 years without going crazy.

Huh. @hislegacy , where does this claim come from? Does Trump make this claim somewhere in the video? If so, does he provide a source for that claim?

Because this article says that the Secret Service was capping attendance at 10,000.

That would put this rally at #3:
Resch Center - Wikipedia
15 years of Resch Center memories

Many events have sold out the arena. As someone else pointed out, the max seating capacity is largely a result of the configuration of the stage. A single lectern takes up a lot less space than a full concert stage, so Trump could, theoretically, pack in more people just by virtue of his having a smaller footprint. But if the Secret Service stuck to their numbers, it would appear that he didn't come out on top.

LOL, some "record"...

Bernie Sanders dwarfs that just with a Portland rally that drew over 28,000.

If you're president and you are getting crushed by Bernie Sanders in drawing a crowd you better get ready to get crushed by Bernie Sanders in the election. See ya, donny boy!!! LOL!!!!!

Yapping for 25 years is easy. Listening to and believing is another thing all together.

Trump is (still) on a roll.

Most I know have a very positive feeling (thoughts) regarding our country under Trump’s leadership.

As opposed to the coffeehouse at standing room only for Beto.

What an outstanding yardstick for Trump. Sitting president vs 1 of 20 candidates most people have barely heard of. I look forward to when he doesn't beat him...although I might rupture something from the laughter.

No, working middle America has been there for a while and the floodgates are opening. It's all over for the big-money elite. The guillotines are sharpened and read.

Trump supports private gun ownership.
(Oops.)

Some points:

1. A Godwin, already? I knew the level of discourse here was going down hill, but that was less that a dozen posts in.

2. Hilter didn't disarm his people. This is a weird and common mistruth promulgated in US gun control debates that has been repeated and thoroughly debunked.

The truth, as usual, is much more complicated. The Nazi's barred certain elements in society they deemed as enemies (Jews and "Social Democrats", for example) from owning firearms, but did not disarm the German people as a whole. On the contrary, Nazi firearms laws mildly loosened restrictions.

Some history:
Germans were barred from private firearms ownership from 1919 to 1928.
After 1928, under the Weimar Republic, firearm ownership was allowed, but a licence was needed to own a firearm. A separate licence was needed to carry one in public. Basically, very strict gun control.
The Nazis maintained these laws in general when they came to power, but they did use the firearms registration list to seize guns from certain groups.
In 1938, the Nazi government passed a couple of gun laws. The chief one of these liberalised firearm access for "German citizens" and Nazi party members (lowered legal age from 20 to 18, allowed anyone to apply for a permit for a rifle or shotgun, still required a licence for a handgun, expanded licence period to three year). They also passed laws specifically banning Jews and certain other groups from firearm ownership and from working in the arms industry.

3. Trump's record on firearms legislation is a mixed bag (as it is with almost anything, as he usually just takes the position that he thinks will make the person(s) he's talking too happy at that particular moment in time).

At one end of the spectrum, he's advocated illegally taking guns away from people (“Take the guns first, go through due process second,”) and from the mentally ill in particular and supported the ban on bump stocks. The administration also passed legislation allowing the CDC to resume some studies on gun control and mildly increased background check registry strength by requiring additional agencies to report to it.

However, the Trump administration also revoked laws to limit firearms access to the mentally ill, effective allowed blueprints for 3D-printed guns to be made public without any restrictions (by quietly ending a couple of legal cases) and removed gun export restrictions.
