Not a huge amount of audience response here. Trump just paused for applause and it was very slow in coming and very muted. This is not what his crowds are used to.

(10,274 posts)Who would listen to this boring nonsense without all the racism, nativism, hatred and calls to violence? His followers want no part of the bipartisan Trump, they only look to him for expressions of the absolute worst aspects of human nature.
