I was there last year and it was a powerful and emotional experience. They don't make Republicans like Ronald Reagan anymore. Todays conservatives should take notice.

    effemess ...Do you really know what’s funny? Do you know who made herself the laughing stock of the world? Her name is Hillary. Think of it. She outspent Trump 2 to 1, not a nickel of which was her own money. All living former presidents supported her. Foreign governments gave her millions. She conspired with Russia (on Uranium One), with the FBI, with the CIA, and with foreign intelligence services. Voting fraud was rampant on her behalf. People were probably murdered on her behalf. Wealthy elites supported her (like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Soros). Almost all of the MSM, Hollywood, and academia shilled for her. FBI heads perjured themselves to protect her. Obama’s White House spied on Trump for her. Law enforcement perjured themselves to a FISA court to help her. The DNC rigged the primary process to help her. She even had the old line GOP establishment supporting her. I could go on. But she lost. Now that is what’s funny!! What a fucking loser she is. Hillary is the poster child for EPIC FAILURE.. She should contract a tattoo parlour to have the word LOSER stamped on her forehead and the word CRIMINAL stamped on her face cheeks and her lesbian ass cheeks. So I suggest you just pause for a moment about who is really laughing and at whom.
