Trump is novel. Never thought giving a speech about a certain group could be given to a group

that is overwhelmingly not like them, 96% white, 1% black. He certainly defies the norms of electoral politics.

Maybe it is like the Queen and Canada. When she visits she doesn't go to Quebec unless a english speaking town can be found just across the border from Ontario. She's afraid of the FLQ or something.

Maybe that is why he yells at times, all the words at the same volume. I think someone is in the audience giving him and up or down thumbs where volume is concerned.
