Trump continues to bring in the crowds.
Via WTSP:
Donald Trump railed against the country’s leaders in Washington, the Islamic State, illegal immigrants and the media during an hourlong rally where he courted receptive voters in the Magnolia State.
The campaign appearance Saturday was his first in public in Mississippi since the 1990s when he attempted to build a casino and aquarium in Gulfport.
“It’s like a love fest,” Trump said of the ticketholder-only event at the Gulf Coast Coliseum. “People are so tired of the incompetence. They’re so tired of stupidity.”
The candidate for the GOP presidential nomination shifted briskly from one topic to another, taking about 10 minutes of his speech to attack “corrupt” media there to cover him. No recent polls of Mississippi Republican voters, who have their primary March 8, have been taken, but RealClearPolitics shows averages of national polls taken before the holidays give Trump a more than 15-percentage-point spread over the next most popular politician, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
Trump regularly has expressed opposition to Syrian refugees settling in the United States, and the Mississippi rally was no exception.
“We have no idea who they are and where they come from,” he said. “I think maybe it is the ultimate Trojan horse.”[…]
At one point, Trump interrupted his unscripted stump speech to criticize videographers at the event for not panning their cameras to show the crowd.
“Spin the camera,” he told one, and at one point he said, “They’re really dishonest people. I might fire his a– right now.”
“The people are really smart,” Trump said. “They get it. They know how crooked the system is. They know how crooked these reporters are, many of them.”
