About one quarter of the audience. Donald trump . [cheers and applause] okay then tell more candidates. Marco rubio . F their number. Scott walker . A big crowd. And i the amount of fantasy as an for donald trump. Is odd in one sense but not in another he is by no measure a conservative if you look in his record historically to be a pathway to citizenship and has proposed a wealth tax if he has Real Estate Holdings donald trump is not a conservative because theyre the reason is one is good one is the other. Because he has been smacked by the left so we immediately say you may be the greatest person who ever lived. That explains the of love for donald trump and continuing love for sarah palin. She says good things but there is that outside support because she was so unfair of the attack but i

He said the effort is a response to what happened after the Police Shooting in ferguson misery last month. The attorney general discussed the new initiative at the Justice Department last week. [inaudible conversations] welcome to all of you including the members of the media. Its good to see you all.
