Trump's Greatest Campaign Hits (see instructions in bold)

With the campaign over and the battle won, I am enjoying the current melts but still think fondly of the great moments that brought Trump to his big league victory.

The many stumpings of Jeb will always hold a cherished place in my heart and the youtube airhorn videos are great for some laughs. The impeccable timing of zingers in the Hillary debates like "you'd be in jail" show how quick-witted and to the point Trump is and I look forward to him taking that tactical sledgehammer to America's competitors.

How about a thread posting your favorite Campaign Hit and what made it so special to you...this isn't meant to devolve into a debate or discussion thread, but more as a place to look back and give insight on what you found significant...show and tell, not show and debate. The election is over now. Dems and Never Trumpers are welcome to post too, if it makes you feel better, about the moment that you enjoyed the most that was negative on Trump or a moment where even an opposing viewpoint could say "job well done" or "that was highly entertaining."

Thinking back among all of the highlights, "The Red Stumping" still remains my favorite. The final debate was just completed. The media was constantly hammering trump over everything imaginable, including the recently released groping tapes. Republican support by elected officials and establishment types was rapidly dwindling. Things were dark and Hillary was inevitable.

I had never watched one of the Al Smith dinners before and didn't know it was going on when I was flipping through the channels and saw it getting started. I figured I would let it run while I was making dinner. Dinner got put on hold.

In political theater, what Trump did "just isn't done." He was supposed to shuck and jive and drop some soundbites that were either cute and would be lightly covered then swept aside, or could be played against him to make him look foolish. But Trump remembered the lesson of the White House correspondent dinner when he was publicly brutalized (to much media acclaim) and he took his revenge. The Red Stumping is probably my favorite among the Greatest Hits and really drove home that Trump wasn't some sort of stealth Democrat or someone who would "go along to get along" if elected. If the Dems weren't sufficiently scared before, they should have been terrified by the time Trump took his seat.

Further demonstrating how politically savvy and savage he is, while the commentators intitialy went on about how Trump shouldn't have hit Hillary so hard, when it was her turn she went hard also. He took the power play and dominated it.
