This speech is intensely critical.  Take your time to comprehend it slowly.  I’ve highlighted a key paragraph that just astounded me when I heard it….
[ TRANSCRIPT ] Thank you. It’s great to be back in North Carolina.
In 62 days, we are going to win this state – and we are going to win the White House.
This is our chance to end years of injustice, corruption and betrayal.
This is our chance to solve all of the problems that have gone unsolved for so many years.
For how long have people been saying Washington is broken and controlled by special interests?
This is the year we can finally fix it.
That’s because change has to come from outside of our broken and corrupt system.
We will never fix our rigged system by relying on the people who rigged it in the first place.
We will never solve our problems by relying on the politicians who created our problems.

Unfortunately, 13 people have been killed.

However, one of Toxic Ted Cruz’s biggest republican advocates, Tim Huelskamp (Kansas), looks like he is about to lose lost his re-election bid with a primary challenge from Roger Marshall.

Secretary of State Website HERE, Media Link to Race HERE

Tim Huelskamp is a rabid, VERY RABID, Trump hater.  He was one of the inner network republican house rep #NeverTrump antagonists, and a full-throated Ted Cruz supporter. A really nasty piece of work. – SEE HERE –

Representative Huelskamp even advertised and promoted his hatred for republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.  A primary defeat tonight would portend some favorability toward the odds of a Paul Nehlen victory next week (Tuesday August 9th)

Oh dear, oh my…. oh noes... the vulgarians are daring to put on their own show.  Those unwashed non-cosmopolitan’s have the audacity to break tradition with the professional political class, go figure.

Here’s some great speeches, starting with Donald Trump Jr.:
