On the House side, when Donald Trump came, he received multiple standing ovations.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Standing ovations have become far too commonplace. What we need are ovations where the audience members all punch and kick one another.
There's an old adage about speakers: You won't remember what they said, but you'll never forget how they made you feel. Trump knows that in his bones. He gives his supporters - and they are growing - a terrific feeling of safety and security, along with a laugh and a smile.
People do still cheer for the President. And some of the military audiences are more likely to cheer than others. I have seen him speak lately in front of groups like Freedom House, where the applause was a long time coming.
It's understood in the newsroom: Air the Trump rallies live and uninterrupted. He may say something crazy; he often does, and it's always great television.
The standing ovation threw me... to be held in such regard in a town so full of talent is quite something.
I need the applause.
Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Mr. Trump is unifying the party, and I applaud him for that.
You don't get a standing ovation and get boos, by the way. They don't go hand in hand.
