[The Call Up]

1. I was there - and it was fantastic.

It is amazing to see his speeches in person. He is a one-of-a-kind politician. Totally captivating.

I was glad he talked about the negative campaigning in the last few weeks. He stated that he recently spoke with his campaign and told them that he wants to get back to his positive message and remember what exactly got him into this race in the first place.

Let's face it, the Clintons WANT to drag him down into the gutter where they operate. They want him to retaliate to their lies, distortions, and cheap shots.. Once he's down there they'll win, because that's the kind of politics they understand. And if they can make him look as bad as they already look, then he becomes just another politician which allows them to continue this kind of divisive politics unchecked.

He needs to operate above the fray again. When he does this his ratings rise through the roof, and even Republicans become captivated by him.

"Yes We Can!"
"Yes We Can!"
"Yes We Can!"
"Yes We Can!"
