RE:  Donald Trump rally in Bridgeport

____________________________________________________________

Event Details:  Trump gave a longwinded speech at his Connecticut rally hitting the same points and reverting to calling Cruz “Lyin’ Ted” after briefly flirting with more staid decorum, 46 minutes.

Attendees/Audience:  viewers of stream, plus raucous live crowd

Press:  http://abcnews.go.com/Live?stream=2

Summary of Event:

Donald Trump hit Cruz hard referring to almost exclusively as “Lyin’ Ted” and gloating over his debate wins and interrupting him so much. He repeated his line against Hillary Clinton that she doesn’t have the strength or stamina and labeled her “Crooked Hillary.” On issues, Donald seemed to say he would have opposed the omnibus budget because it funded Obamacare, perhaps endorsing Tea Party style blow it all up obstructionism. He seemed to support a Singapore style authoritarian crackdown on drugs. Trump justifies his campaign’s inconsistencies about if they’re building a wall or not by saying of course everybody says different thing in private versus on a stage.

Key Points:

0

Other have done better than Kasich. Why is he still in?

You could be anywhere. Watching baseball, playing golf, playing tennis but you’re here with Trump.

Everywhere I go people line up hours before I get there. It’s because we’re a movement. It was on the cover of Time Magazine. We’re cutting taxes far more than anybody else. We’re going to make great trade deals. We’re going to bring jobs back. [USA chant]

The Bridgeport region--how do you let this happen. Our government is no go. They leave here and they don’t win in Mexico. You see what is happening in Indiana. Carrier leaves for Mexico and we don’t tax them. We’re building a wall.  China built a wall. I can build a wall. We’re build that wall so fast your head will spin. If they get up there which they won’t, they’re not getting down very fast.

6:30

How can you let this happen. The Bridgeport region has lost 40% of its manufacturing jobs since 2001 when China joined the WTO.  Listen to this Lyin’ Ted Cruz supports Chinese currency manipulation. NAFTA was a disaster. TPP is going to be worse because it’s going to drain the rest of the jobs away. Other countries now every sentence. I don’t think our people even read. Obamacare repeal and replace it 100%.  It’s a total disaster. Going to die of its own weight. Last budget the omnibus. It should have never happened. It allowed for Obamacare funding. All these people say they’re going to go to Washington to repeal Obamacare or make bounders and they get there and see the beautiful buildings and say honey we’ve made it. And they take all that money and get corrupted.

Bridgeport has a motto. By industry we thrive. But you have no industry. We got to change it. If we elect Trump we will thrive. If you elect Hillary. She doesn’t have the strength, the stamina. Do you ever see these guys from China? They come in looking to kill. I made a lot of money in China. The largest bank in China is the tenant in one of my buildings. I like China. I like Mexico. I’m not mad at them. I’m mad at our stupid trade deals. I love Connecticut. I love Massachusetts. I love Tom Brady. The people of MA found out that Belichick and Brady like Trump I won by 50%. Not going to help companies move to other countries. You should be ashamed of yourselves. The country I’m going to solve the problems so fast. Vietnam is a new fast one. They’re taking our business.

I go all over this country. Totally packed. Cruz comes in and he has 200 or 300 people and they’re in a conference room somewhere. And Cruz with the rhetoric [Grabs his heads like he has a headache.] I have great staff. And you know Corey.  Now they’re saying that Trump is different when he’s in private. Of course I am. Everyone is. When you’re speaking you’re different. World’s most dishonest media. What would it take to drop Donald Trump? Stop talking that’s never happening. The other people is the sneeze in the wrong direction they get dropped. We have the most loyal people. You don’t have to be doing this today on a Saturday afternoon. Don’t forget you’re doing much better than the people standing outside. My wife and Ivanka say be presidential. It easier to be presidential. I have to rant and rave to keep you awake. First of all I’d have a teleprompter. Ever seen Hillary Clinton? [Acting robotic]  Afternoon. How. Are. You.

19:20

DT:  I’m really smart. I went to the best schools. Lyin Ted Cruz walks in bible held high and then he puts the bible down and then he lies. It shows how honorable people in the room are. But you know he said Mr. Trump can be this way that way. Being presidential is the easiest. Everybody falls asleep. His own manager said he won’t build the wall. We’re building the wall people. The concept is how disgusting politics is. Of course I’m different when I’m in a room, but I say the same thing. If you have 12 people in a conference room you have to be different. Unless you Ted Cruz and say the same thing. He’s an OK debater but a horrible talker. He never had an opponent like me that interrupted him every 7 words. I think he’s a horrible debater. Drudge says I won every single debate. I’ve never done this before. I’ve been doing it for 9 or 10 months. I love doing it because it’s going to be so much fun. The people I meet are great people who love our country so much.

23:30

On Tuesday you have to get out and vote. And the other candidates aren’t even really coming. We can’t take anything for granted. Because then nobody shows. Bill O’Reilly said the Trump phenomena if the most important political story of his lifetime. It’s never an easy interview with Bill. He’s right down the middle. He has no friendships. He mentioned in that assassination of JFK. So for him to say that is big. I went to Alabama, our crowds are much bigger Bernie. He’s overrated. Bernie said that he’s not qualified to be president. Then he pulled it back a bit because it’s a tough statement. She suffers from bad judgment. She wanted to go into Iraq. I was against it and so was Bernie. I’m going to have the slowest trigger but nobody is going to mess with me. And we are going to take of our vets better than ever before. We are going to respect our police officers. Unbelievable job. You have one incident that was a mistake and they’ll put that on TV for weeks.

27:20

So this all began in June. June 16. It’s not something I wanted to do. I had a nice life, good company, great family. They’re all involved and they love it because they know that they can make America great again. When I came down that escalator it’s about borders, it’s about trade. Trade is right in my wheelhouse. I had as much as 89% in Poupshkisee. The people who know you the best. The good, the bad, the ugly. A lot written about me. It shows a lot to PA, MD…

29:40

These companies when they leave nobody talks to them. I believe in fair trade but it has to be fair trade. Border patrol. First time in history, 16,000 men and women endorsed Donald Trump. They’d never done it before. Sheriff Joe Arpaio. We need the wall. When I won in New Hampshire. From day one i just loved it. I said what’s the problem?  Heroin. Heroin what? With all these beautiful trees and lakes. Singapore is so tough on drug use.  He said they hang them. We would never do that. Singapore is so tough. They don’t have a problem. I won with the Evangelicals and I won in landslide. I won Louisiana. I was behind. It was supposed to be Ted Cruz. And now I’m getting over 50%. Even people who hate me said it’s a massive victory. The system is rigged. Louisiana was supposed to Ted Cruz. He was supposed to win all the south. One problem I won the south. If I don’t win Connecticut, I’ll move to Alabama they love me there. Florida was one of the greatest. Love Fest. The people in this country are amazing. A movement like we’ve never had in the history of our country. I gave this speech and the next day I won.

We were adding up delegates the other day and I said you’ve made a mistake I won Louisiana but Cruz has more delegates. It’s a rigged system. All of sudden I realized it’s a rigged deal because how can you win a state and get less delegates. What this guy does he can’t win with popular vote because he lies like a crook. Wining and dining people taking them out to dinner, probably taking buying them hotel rooms. It’s buying an election. It’d be interesting to see if the SuperPAC is doing it. Crooked Hillary. We’re dealing with a fixed deal. I’ve always like the boxers. Mike Tyson endorsed. I want to get Bobby Knight to endorse me. We’re going to have Bobby Knight in Indiana. I like the tough guys because they’re like me. SoS Kerry is not tough. We need toughness.  Jeb Bush used to say he doesn’t like my tone. ISIS is chopping people heads off and you’re worried about my tone?  We’re going to have a trade deficits with Mexico, Japan, China everyone. Are you okay?  Don’t forget make america great again is our policy.

[Jock Jams plays]  This has been great. You’re going to go and vote with your friends. I will do such a great job. You’re going to love your president and be proud of your president. You’ll say this is the single vote I ever cast. Was that Tuesday I watched Donald Trump. That Tuesday when I went to cast my vote is when our country started winning again. Winning again with our military. Knock out ISIS. We’re going to have a strong military and take of our vets. We’re going to straighten out our education and repeal and replace Obamacare. There were so many options and they went with this terrible option. You’re going to win with the Second Amendment. We’re going to win at the borders. People will come in but they’ll come in legally. We’re not going to let our business be ripped out of our states anymore. We’re going to make America great again. Thank you. [Pump it up Jock Jams]
