54. Time for the truth
Sun Feb 14, 2016, 11:09 AM
Feb 2016

Somebody just called Bush Jr a liar on stage in front of thousands of lobbiests that like Bush and it shook their world. Any public speaker know how hard it is to speak to "Boos" but Trump sure did.

HE STILL SAID IT AND REPEATED THE POINT AGAIN FOR EFFECT! Nobody in DU is going to vote for Trump especially me but fact is Trump was speaking truth to power last night and for that he has my respect.

A lot of us thought this was going to happen but not so soon, we are witnessing the destruction of the GOP by use of the truth and its wonderful.
