(All of my life I have heard about people writing about an incident and not one description was interpreted the same. Well, I watched the entire scene and nothing this man writes describes what happened. The other is the game where the first person whispers something into the next person’s ear and after it goes through ten people and it is verbally repeated by the tenth person and the subject was entirely different at the end – well folks this is what is happened with this media story.)
Donald Trump Brings Theatrics to Iran Nuclear Deal Protest. ( Hmm, I watched the segment and never saw any theatrics – maybe it is in the eyes of Nick.)

WASHINGTON – Tea Party and other conservatives had hoped to make their gathering here the clarion call to rally against the Iran nuclear deal, drawing on the star power of Donald J. Trump, the rhetoric of Senator Ted Cruz and a cast of 40 or so supporting characters speaking on a stage with the United States Capitol looming in the background. (Eat your heart out Mr. Communist Party Media.)
But Tuesday, President Obama secured the votes necessary to make his negotiated deal with Iran essentially veto proof, giving this rally a less tangible, or at least achievable, objective. (Yup, but the fat lady hasn’t sung, yet! Nick hasn’t mentioned that Obama is again obstructing justice by not following the Constitution. When he is gone whoever is the next real president will really negotiate the deal the next time. Hopefully, Iran’s old-man winter will be gone too.)
But, as with all great political theater, the show had to go on. (That is right, but just think you would not have anything to write about if it were just about the White House’s Strawman and his robots.)
So Mr. Trump, Mr. Cruz, Sarah Palin, the radio host Mark Levin and a host of other conservative luminaries headed outside to brave the swampy September humidity to air their grievances against the deal, committed votes be damned, basking in the lights, camera and attention brought by Mr. Trump. (They haven’t voted yet – they are just talking about hanging with Obama.)
“When Donald arrives at an event, he brings an army of TV reporters,” Mr. Cruz said recently, according to CNN. “He brings an army of cameras that show up. And Donald’s being there — he very graciously accepted — means the mainstream media will cover the event.” (Just think what fun you could have had being a part of the scene – they might even let you put in your two words.)
It is under the glare of those cameras that Mr. Trump shines, often offering more entertaining and meandering speeches while rarely pausing for a dull moment to talk detailed policy. His speeches make for great theatrical proclamations – like a promise to build a wall across the southern border with Mexico, one that he would make Mexico pay for. (Yep, that is right – if he is elected we will see because if he isn’t, you will probably be writing in some dungeon in New York.)
And so far, Mr. Trump’s style seems to be resonating, even seeping into other candidate’s stump speeches as they strive for a touch of the theatrics. Mr. Cruz, for his part, calls in his stump speeches to “abolish the I.R.S.,” another politically difficult objective, often punctuating the verb with a crescendo. (Yes, CRESCENDO is the right word and won’t that be music to our ears when if not abolished how about reduced to ashes?)
Much of the early part of the Republican contest has centered on attention generated by Mr. Trump. Carly Fiorina and Rick Perry have tried to raise their profile, and polling numbers, by attacking the businessman. Jeb Bush has increasingly waged a full-throated campaign against him, while Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey has been more cordial to the billionaire. ( Jebbie is not making good news because on the trail he doesn’t have time for his siesta.)
But none have gone farther than Mr. Cruz, who has constantly defended Mr. Trump, no matter how caustic his remarks. It was Mr. Cruz who invited Mr. Trump to the rally, not the Tea Party Patriots, the original hosts of the event, and the joint appearance by the two candidates here, Iran votes or not, marks a symbolic high point in their relationship. (You don’t know that – you are just making up that statement.)
(You have heard of fair and balanced – as usual this is what you call unfair and unbalanced.)
