President Donald Trump headlines mega-rally in Dallas, slamming Beto O'Rourke, impeachment

President Donald Trump evoked the rugged history of Texas -- including the fight at the Alamo -- Thursday night and declared Texas would remain loyal to the Republican Party.

“Texas is not in play,” Trump said as the crowd roared.

And he told a packed house at American Airlines Center Thursday night that the impeachment inquiry against him was an effort by “enraged” Democrats to rewrite the 2016 election, since they can’t beat him at the ballot box.

“The more America achieves the more hateful and enraged these crazy Democrats become,” Trump said. “They’re crazy. They’re crazy. At stake in this fight is American democracy itself.”

It will come to me, if I try to remember hard enough.

Like Dean Wurmer told Flounder 'hateful, enraged and crazy is no way to go through life, son. Don't be a fat orange greasy slob, either.'

American democracy itself is at state in this fight. What, did you have Yoda write your teleprompter speech, twitler?

They just ave naming rights. They have no control over who appears there. It's owned by the city of Dallas.

Could people at least try and be informed before they say stuff on here?

They're owned either by their city, or by owners of the teams that play in them, not the company who pays to have their name put on them.

I agree I wasn't clear. Imagine I have my name on a building which was hosting white supremacists. I did nothing to denounce the occasion, and I got money for the event.

The election is a year away, and Texas has been a republican stronghold. Looks like he's losing even them.

All of those people are un-American. They should go live in Russia.
