opposite of politically correct. and that resonates with people and that s also what makes him a wild card, too. you don t know where he s going to come from on any given day. you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. comments during a phone interview with cnn s don lemon got trump uninvited from a republican red state event. critics roared but his poll numbers held strong. later in august trump held a campaign rally in alabama, 30,000 people showed up. we re going to build a wall. and at a press conference in debuque, iowa, jorge stood up to ask a question who is next? excuse me, sit down, you weren t called. again, exactly what we ve been waiting for. people did not fly all the way
