Freewheeling Trump returns at Fla. rally

Source: The Hill

By Harper Neidig - 11/05/16 12:02 PM EDT

The freewheeling version of Donald Trump returned Saturday, after a week of mostly staying on message and out of the spotlight.

Trump kicked off his Tampa, Fla., campaign rally by complaining about the foul language used by rapper Jay-Z during a concert for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.“He used language last night that was so bad, and then Hillary said, ‘I did not like Donald Trump’s lewd language,’ ” Trump said. “My lewd language. I’ll tell you what, I’ve never said what he said in my life.”

Trump’s campaign was rocked last month when a 2005 video was unearthed that showed the business mogul admitting that he had “tried to f--k” a married woman and boasting that his celebrity allows him to grab women “by the p---y.”

Throughout the rally, Trump repeatedly ignored his teleprompter and went on off-script rants, espousing a number of baseless and debunked claims.

of not "going off script" means anything about his temperament?

I've got $100 that says even during his "Concession Speech" Tuesday, he will go off script and rant and rave about rigged elections and arresting Hillary.

it will be his usual stump "speech" (or ravings of a mad lunatic being a more apt description). As if the campaign isn't over.

He knows he will have cameras and eyeballs, he will either announce Trump tv and talk about that for thirty minutes or pimp one of his properties, or maybe both.

Oh, and he will declare victory, saying the networks called it wrong.

of ignoring a camera. He will not miss a chance to bloviate in front of one Tuesday night, but I agree it will not be concession. It will be insane stream of consciousness, and probably go on and on until someone with a hook yanks him offstage. That's why he wants this so badly, aside from the money making aspects. He is addicted to cameras and media and attention. The worst thing that could happen to Trump would be being ignored.

I hope the Secret Service will be ready to defend it, more than they usually do.

Wolf Blitzer is pissed that he doesn't work Saturdays, because he'd be delighted to gush over Donny.
