    Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. The percentages weren't that big but something like 20,000 Massachusetts Democrats switched their membership in order to vote for Trump, and it was a large number in Pennsylvania too.

    Thank you Ken for sharing this video. I really never have kept up with Trump through the years so did not know even as a young man he had thoughts of running for President. The video helped me to see a Trump that can have self control, is intelligent, and who has known for a long time what is wrong with our Country...and has been thinking all along about what he could do to help solve those problems. I think anyone who has been considering our problems all these years and whether or not he could help resolve some of them...and has stood up to all the crap that has been and is being thrown at him, will make a really good President. And I pray he wins.

    Ok, thanks Ken, I know I get things mixed up, and it's really from not "getting my facts straight" before blurting things out;)

    I watched this, and anyone that thinks Trump is stupid, is sadly mistaken. I believe he is truly going to do some good things, if, he isn't blocked by opposition, and I mean, right here in America:

    Of course he's not stupid and the people that constantly say Trump supporters are ignorant and stupid and racist are really the ones with that problem. It's so obvious.

    I also can't wait to see when he becomes President, all the ones that said were leaving the USA to live in Canada. I'll wave bye bye. :)

    That's another thing, we are all Americans, and Trump is being called racist. I do NOT believe, that I, or anyone else deserves a free ride. Only folks that are legitimately disabled, and especially true veterans, that deserve the most benefits, which are "deserved" benefits, or earned!!

    Because the color of our skin is one color or another, we all are Americans, if we are truly citizens. The thing at the Oscars got me thinking too. And why does the color of your skin determine if you are the best person for the job?? Yes, there is prejudice in this country, but the laws that have been passed to overly reward people that have had a bad history like the Indians, Black folks, me being abused as a child should be moving on, and becoming a productive member of our privilege of being an American. As an American now, we seem to be allowing "some" to have their own little set of laws, like Trump mentioned the casinos.

    Let's be realistic, there will always be prejudice, but to use that excuse as a reason for you or I to deserve more than others??

    I hope I am making sense. I do NOT see the color of skin when I meet people, they are people. It's what comes from the inside that makes my decision on whether or not I want to spend time with that person.

    There's so much Trump is onto imo and I would so love to see him, or someone, straight this stuff out in our country. I mean, like we today are supposed to keep paying for what some folks did to others 200 years ago, or when ever.

    They won't leave I'll bet on that. In fact, I don't even know if those posters were true, but it's just another ploy to turn "their" fans against Trump, more "hate Trump". I love in that video where Trump says Obama doesn't know what to do (can't remember the subject) oh yeah, because obama doesn't understand business. I don't think Obama understood a lot, especially about certain sections of the population. I really see Trump having a good understanding, and I think it's because he's takin the time, all his life, to mingle with all kinds of people and get to know them, very important for a man running for president.

    I would have guessed early on, that someone as rich as Trump would have no clue about poverty, or the less fortunate, but I think he does know just from doing his "homework":)

    Here is an earlier Larry King interview with Trump. He sounds like a normal, decent guy, and pretty good looking too. :) Now all of a sudden he's become Hitler and everything else?

    I believe @Ken Anderson had him pegged from the start. He is "playing the game" well. He is not a dummy, there is no way he could be and reach the heights he has. I think he knows what the people of the United States need, and it looks like he is right about that if you see how many are turning to him;) Yeeeeeeeehaw!!

    Accusations of racism and bigotry are most always used as a means of limiting discussion.

    I heard someone say that before ken, I mean called him a racist, and I thought "what the heck are they talking about". And they never provided any proof, or where they heard him say it.

    Trump's persistence alone is amazing. I never perceived him as a racist. I think some think his concern about Syrian refugees and his stance on illegal immigrants adds up to racism. I am taking a serious look at Trump. I must say I just can't vote for Clinton.

    What country takes in the very people that it is at war with? Like it or not, we are at war with people in Syria and other countries in the Middle East, and since our war is not with uniformed armies, it has to be assumed that anyone coming from these countries may be the enemy. Quite frankly, I don't think it's unrealistic to have concerns about Muslims since it hasn't only been the ones from overseas who have taken lives here, but we do have freedom of religion and Trump never suggested banning the religion in America, just those coming from these countries that we are at war with and, even then, only until we can have a better idea as to who is who. Were people racists because they were afraid of Japanese during World War II?

    Ahhhh, good point, it didn't hit me til I saw your post. I'll bet that is where they are getting it. From what I hear, he wants to put a "hold" on it, which makes sense to me. To give us some time to really think it all the way through. Good Lord, we have soooooooooo much on our plate now. I think Trump is good in business from taking his time, no radical moves without really having everything analyzed. I don't know, I do a lousy job of that, better now than when I was younger. But "quick" decisions aren't smart for me.

    The Trump haters just repeat the mantras over and over and over, kind of proves who the real low IQ people really are. It's what they do and it just shows their ignorance,

    I could have an IQ of 145 and have muslims in my family and if I say I'm voting Trump, I'm ignorant and a racist. I think all this will get old soon.

    Talk about hate speech, it's what comes out of their mouths that is the hate speech and they're too stupid to see it.
