Iowa Stare Fair: What we learned

The pilot cut the engines. “Where are the children? Get them over here”. He tried to go to the iconic butter cow. You could eat a bacon-wrapped rib on a stick and drink a 32-ounce Miller Lite while watching a one-man band play and sing “Mustang Sally”.

At a short news conference at a nearby ball field where his trademark helicopter landed, Trump emphasized his message that the United States is losing in many areas, including trade.

Some like Kim Tranmer, a 51-year-old senior housing and health care consultant from Des Moines, broke through, shouting to Trump that he should hire her. Tranmer, an independent who said the last time she voted was for the 1992 independent candidate Ross Perot, said she had already contacted Trump’s campaign to offer to help organize supporters in Iowa. “Come ‘ere”. Moments later, he avowed that he’d be willing to spend $1 billion on his campaign “if I had to”.

She tried to continue asking the question, but the crowd was applauding in appreciation of Trump’s joke. “We’re only four months into this, I feel very positive about the organization we’re building here in Iowa”. Ask them how are they going to do it?

“I felt the horror of New York“, he said of the 9/11 terrorist strikes.

Northey says there are plenty of examples of animal husbandry and animal welfare seen at the state fair, which serves as another form of agricultural education for consumers.

Here the crowd interrupted him with applause; at least 10 children spontaneously joined in.

“Hillary Clinton was the single worst secretary of state in the history of this country, the world collapsed around us“, Trump told reporters on Saturday. In a recent poll, Sanders has actually gained the lead in New Hampshire. “I said, ‘I don’t need it. I don’t want it”. I’m sure I will at some point.

It’s hard to say what the polls mean.

Trump descends on the Iowa summer festival as the leading Republican candidate.

“I’m going to let whatever this inquiry is go forward, and we’ll await the outcome of it”, she said, noting that the topic does not come up on the campaign trail where Americans are more interested in jobs, college affordability and the nation’s economic well-being. “It’s a little early in the game”. The topic of Trump was overheard in conversation all over the fair.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, Ind.-Vt., spoke on the main stage, criticizing the hypocrisy of Republican rhetoric concerning family values. Her friend Cathleen Nelson said she was waiting to see him “definitely, because he’s a celebrity”.

The Iowa State Fair Food Department is the largest of any state fair in the country.

“We have enormous amounts of energy that we can utilize in appropriate ways”, he said, if not for “archaic” government rules. But obviously seeing a helicopter with trump’s name on it and obviously it was mobbed here at the fair. Three-year-old Henry got scared and stayed on the ground with his dad.

Al Linquist, 63, called his wife from the middle of the scrum: “I just shook hands with Trump”. The other boys remained.

William (9) brought a GoPro camera to capture the experience; a clip later wound up on Facebook.

Since then Trump has faced a firestorm of controversy for some of his comments.

Trump also said Bush is a “puppet” controlled by lobbyists.
