I’m at a Don Jr rally in Cedar Rapids where Sonny Perdue is warming the crowd up by telling how the polls were wrong in his 2002 gov race.
“I’ve been in Iowa for a few days, and lemme tell ya, Biden is runnin’ third behind Trump and ‘for sale’ signs.”
“I’ve been in Iowa for a few days, and lemme tell ya, Biden is runnin’ third behind Trump and ‘for sale’ signs.”
Perdue says “all you have to do is read the platforms” to know the choice in 2020. (There is no Republican platform.)
Don Jr takes the stage to “Stranglehold” by Ted Nugent. “We’re going to make so many liberals cry on November 3!”
Don Jr’s first few minutes are all about Hunter. “All of the things they accused Donald Trump of doing, or Ivanka, Hunter Biden was doing times 1000.”
“I take it personally. I spent 30 hours in front of various committees... I won’t get the same benefit that the McCabes and the Brennans of the world get.”
Don Jr promoting tonight’s scheduled Tony Bobulinski interview on Fox. “He’s got recordings. They’re still going to cover it up.”
He asks for a show of hands: “How many of you have been in Facebook jail or the equivalent?” About 1/5 of hands go up.

Don Jr calls Harris a “phony” for her debate tussle with Biden.
“I could deliver that line, including ‘that little girl.’”
He pretends that someone in the audience is offended.
“How dare you? How do you know how I identify?”

Don Jr says Biden’s covid plan is “Shut it down forever. Shut down the economy for three, four years.”
“He hasn’t articulated his actual plan.”

Some of the biggest applause tonight comes when Don Jr recounts how dad made him “sit my ass on a D10 [bulldozer]” to learn how construction worked.
Don Jr’s rapid fire recount of conservative media is something to see IRL. 20 minutes in, he’s onto Nancy Pelosi’s salon visit and ice cream fridge.
“I’m the son of a billionaire from New York. I understand that that’s terrible optics.”

Don Jr recounting a rally his father held at this venue in December 2015 - bunch of folks in crowd remember. “The Christmas Party!”
Don Jr begins talking about peace deals, then gets into a tangent about how he was “negative 5” when Biden was elected to Senate. “Where the hell was I? Ah, yeah — Middle East peace.”
