THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS

AS THE CROWD IS HERE.
[CHANTING]
>> JANUARY 1st, 53 MILLION
PEOPLE IN THE U.S. HAD BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THE ELECTION
ON FACEBOOK.
>> TONIGHT, THERE ARE JUST
FOUR CANDIDATES ON THE
STAGE.
THEIR POSITION HAS BEEN
DETERMINED BY THEIR STANDING
IN AN AVERAGE OF THE FIVE
MOST RECENT NATIONAL POLLS
AS RECOGNIZED BY FOX NEWS

BUSINESSMAN DONALD TRUMP.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> FLORIDA SENATOR MARCO
RUBIO.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> AND OHIO GOVERNOR JOHN

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

AND IF A CANDIDATE GOES OVER
THE ALLOTTED TIME, YOU WILL
HEAR THIS.
[BELL]
>> SO PLEASANT.
>> WE HAVE A BIG CROWD HERE.
AND WHILE WE EXPECT THE
AUDIENCE TO BE ENTHUSIASTIC
AND RESPONSIVE AT TIMES.
AND THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN.
WE ALSO EXPECT THEM TO IT BE
RESPECTFUL AND WE WANT THE
CANDIDATES TO GET THEIR FULL
TIME SO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN A
LIBRARY AND A RED WING'S
GAME.
AM I RIGHT?
[CHEERS]
>> LET'S GET STARTED.
>> MR. TRUMP, AS YOU MAY
HAVE HEARD, THE 2012
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR
PRESIDENT MITT ROMNEY HAD
SOME THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU
TODAY.
[CROWD BOOS]
HE SAID YOUR DOMESTIC POLICY
WILL LEAD TO RECESSION.
HE SAID YOUR FOREIGN POLICY
WILL MAKE US LESS SAFE, AND
THEN HE LISTED WHAT HE SAID
ARE YOUR PERSONAL QUALITIES,
QUOTING NOW ROMNEY ON TRUMP,
QUOTE: THE BULLYING, THE
GREED, THE SHOWINGÑO OFF, THE
IS I SAGE MISOGYNY, THE 3RD
GRADE TACTICS.
HE CHALLENGED YOU TO ANSWER
WITH SUBSTANCE, NOT INSULTS.
HOW DO YOU ANSWER MITT
ROMNEY, SIR?
>> WELL, LOOK, HE WAS A
FAILED CANDIDATE.
HE SHOULD HAVE BEATEN
PRESIDENT OBAMA VERY EASY.
HE FAILED MISERABLY, AND IT
WAS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO
EVERYBODY, INCLUDING THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
HE WENT AWAY -- IT LOOKED
LIKE HE WENT AWAY ON
VACATION THE LAST MONTH.
SO I DON'T TAKE THAT.
AND I GUESS OBVIOUSLY HE
WANTS TO BE RELEVANT.
HE WANTS TO BE BACK IN THE
GAME.
AS FAR AS DOMESTIC POLICY
AND TRADE, WHICH IS KILLING
OUR COUNTRY, HE SAID FREE
TRADE.
AND I BELIEVE IN FREE TRADE,
ALSO.
IF YOU LOOK AT CHINA AND
LOOK AT JAPAN AND MEXICO,
BOTH AT THE BORDER BY THE
WAY WHERE THEY ARE KILLING
US, BOTH AT THE BORDER AND
WITH TRADE, AND EVERY OTHER
COUNTRY WE DO BUSINESS WITH
WE ARE GETTING ABSOLUTELY
CRUSHED ON TRADE.
AND HE SAID FREE TRADE, I
SAY FREE TRADE, GREAT, BUT
NOT WHEN THEY ARE BEATING US
SOCc BADLY.
WITH CHINA WE ARE GOING TO
LOSE $505 BILLION IN TERMS
OF TRADES.
YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.
MEXICO, $58 BILLION.
JAPAN, PROBABLY ABOUT --
THEY DON'T KNOW IT YET ABOUT
$109 BILLION.
EVERY COUNTRY WE LOSE MONEY
WITH.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, WE
HAVE GOT TO REDUCE, WE HAVE
TO REDO OUR TRADE DEALS
100 PERCENT.
I HAVE THE GREATEST PEOPLE
IN THE WORLD LINED UP TO DO
IT.
[BELL]
>> WE WILL WILL GREAT TRADE
DEALS.
>> MR. TRUMP, ROMNEY ALSO
TALKED ABOUT YOUR POSITION
ON RACE AND THE CONTROVERSY
OVER YOUR FAILURE TO
DENOUNCE DAVID DUKE ON
SUNDAY.
YOU HAVE REPEATEDLY
DISAVOWED HIM SINCE THEN.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GO
DEEPER THAN THAT WHAT ARE
YOUR VIEWS ON THE KU KLUX
KLAN AND WHITE SUPREMACIST?
>> I TOTALLY DISAVOW THE KU
KLUX KLAN.
I TOTALLY DISAVOW DAVID
DUKE.
I HAVE BEEN DOING IT NOW FOR
TWO WEEKS.
YOU ARE PROBABLY ABOUT THE
18TH PERSON THAT'S ASKED ME
THE QUESTION.
IT WAS VERY CLEAR.
THAT QUESTION WAS ALSO
TALKED ABOUT IN THE FORM OF
GROUPS.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHICH
GROUPS ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT?
YOU HAVE TO TELLru ME WHICH
GROUPS.
ULTIMATELY HE GOT TO THE KU
KLUX KLAN WHICH OBVIOUSLY
I'M GOING TO DISAVOW.
BY THE WAY IF YOU LOOK AT
TWITTER ACCOUNT ALMOST
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE
PROGRAM THEY WERE DISAVOWED
AGAIN.
IT'S AMAZING WHEN I DO
SOMETHING ON TWITTER
EVERYBODY PICKS IT UP, GOES
ALL OVER THE PLACE.
WHEN I DID THIS ONE, NOBODY
EVER PICKS IT UP.
TAKE LOOK AT MY TWITTER
ACCOUNT.
>> THANK YOU, SIR.
>> THANK YOU.
>> SENATOR RUBIO, THREE
WEEKS AGO YOU SAID, QU7 L
I DON'T DO THE PERSONAL
ATTACKS.
PRIMARILY BECAUSE IT'S NOT
WHO I AM.
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S BENEATH
THE OFFICE THAT I'M SEEKING
BUT ALSO BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO EMBARRASS MY KIDS.
BUT IN THE PAST WEEK YOU'VE
MOCKED MR. TRUMP'S TAN.
YOU'VE MADE FUN OF HIS
SPELLING.
YOU CALLED HIM A CON ARTIST.
YOU SUGGESTED HE WET HIMSELF
BACK STAGE AT THE LAST
DEBATE ALONG WITH OTHER
VULGAR JOLTS AND;p JABS SO
WHAT HAPPENS?
>> LET ME SAY SOMETHING THIS
CAMPAIGN FOR THE LAST YEAR
DONALD TRUMP HAS MOCKED
EVERYBODY WITH PERSONAL
ATTACKS.
HE HAS DONE SO TO PEOPLE
SITTING ON THE STAGE TODAY.
HE HAS DONE SO WITH PEOPLE
DISABLED.
HE HAS DONE IT WITH EVERY
CANDIDATE IN THIS RACE.
IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY
CANDIDATE DESERVED TO BE
ATTACKED THAT WAY IT'S
DONALD TRUMP FOR THE WAY HE
HAS TREATED PEOPLE IN THE
CAMPAIGN.
WITH THAT SAID, I WOULD MUCH
PREFER TO HAVE A POLICY
DEBATE.
I HOPE THAT'S WHAT WE WILL
HAVE HERE TONIGHT.
LET'S HAVE A POLICY DEBATE.
>> WE WILL.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP'S TRAGEDY AND MY
STRATEGY AND JOHN KASICH'S
STRATEGY WHEN IT COMES TO
ISIS AND HEALTHCARE AND THE
IMPORTANT ISSUES FACING THIS
COUNTRY.
LET'S BE HONEST ABOUT THESE
THIS TOO.
THE MEDIA HAS GIVEN PERSONAL
ATTACKS DONALD TRUMP HAS
MADE INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF
COVERAGE.
LET'S START TALKING ABOUT
THE ISSUES THAT MATTER TO
THIS COUNTRY.
I'M WILLING TO DO THIS RIGHT
HERE RIGHT HERE TONIGHT.
MR. TRUMP, YOUR RESPONSE?
>> WELL, I ALSO HAPPEN TO
CALL HIM A LIGHT WEIGHT,
OKAY.
AND I HAVE SAID THAT.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THAT
BACK.
HE IS REALLY NOT THAT MUCH
OF A LIGHT WEIGHT.
AND AS FAR AS -- AND I HAVE
TOh
TOÃSAY THIS, I HAVE TO SAY
THIS.
HE HIT MY HANDS.
NOBODY HAS EVER HIT MY
HANDS.
I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS.
LOOK AT THOSE HANDS.
ARE THEY SMALL HANDS?
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND HE REFERRED TO MY HANDS
IF THEY ARE SMALL, SOMETHING
ELSE MUST BE SMALL.
I GUARANTEE YOU THERE IS NO
PROBLEM.
I GUARANTEE YOU.
>> OKAY.
MOVING ON.
>> OKAY, SENATOR CRUZ, YOU
SAY THAT YOU ARE THE TRUE
CONSERVATIVE IN THIS RACE.
BUT 15 STATES HAVE VOTED
NOW, AND YOU HAVE WON ONLY
FOUR OF THEM.
YOU HAVE LOST REPEATEDLY
WITH WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE
YOUR CORE VOTER GROUPS
INCLUDING EVANGELICALS AND
CONSERVATIVES.
HASN'T YOUR BRAND OF
CONSERVATISM BEEN REJECTED
BY AN ELECTORATE THAT
APPEARS TO BE MORE TAKEN
WITH MR. TRUMP'S POPULIST
MESSAGE?
>> WELL, MEGYN, YOU KNOW AT
THE END OF THE DAY FOR THE
FOLKS AT HOME, THIS IS NOT
ABOUT THE INSULTS BACK AND
FORTH BETWEEN THE
CANDIDATES.
ATTACKS WE CAN THROW AT EACH
OTHER.
THIS IS THE PEOPLE AT HOME
WHO ARE STRUGGLING.
THROUGH SEVEN YEARS OF
BARACK OBAMA, THIS IS THE
SINGLE MOMS WHO ARE WORKING
TWO AND THREE JOBS, 28, 29
HOURS A WEEK BECAUSE THEIR
HOURS HAVE BEEN FORCIBLY
REDUCED BECAUSE OF
OBAMACARE.
THIS IS THE TRUCK DRIVERS
MECHANICS WITH CALLUSES ON
THEIR HANDS WHO HAVE SEEN
THEIR WAGES NOT GROW YEAR
AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR WHILE
THE COST OF LIVING GOES UP.
THIS IS ALL THE YOUNG PEOPLE
COMING OUT OF SCHOOL WITH
STUDENT LOANS UP TO THEIR
EYEBALLS THAT AREN'T ABLE TO
FIND A JOB.
AND I DON'T THINK THE PEOPLE
OF AMERICA ARE INTERESTED IN
A BUNCH OF BICKERING SCHOOL
CHILDREN.
THEY ARE INTERESTED IN
SOLUTIONS, NOT SLOGANS.
IT'S EASY TO SAY MAKE THINGS
BETTER, MAKE THINGS GREAT.
YOU CAN EVEN PRINT IT AND
PUT IT ON A BASEBALL CAP.
THE QUESTION IS DO YOU
UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLES
THAT MADE AMERICA GREAT IN
THE FIRST PLACE?
AS PRESIDENT, I WILL REPEAL
EVERY WORD OF OBAMACARE.
I WILL PULL BACK THE
REGULATORS THAT ARE KILLING
SMALL BUSINESSES.
AND WE WILL PASS A SIMPLE
FLAT TAX AND ABOLISH THE
IRS.
AND THAT'S GOING TO DO,
MEGYN.
[BELL]
>> SMALL BUSINESSES ARE
GOING TO EXPLODE.
WE WILL SEE MILLIONS OF HIGH
PAYING JOBS.
WE WILL SEE WAGES GOING UP.
WE WILL SEE OPPORTUNITY.
THAT'S WHERE OUR FOCUS NEEDS
TO BE.
THAT'S WHERE MY FOCUS IS.
AND THAT IS WHY OUR CAMPAIGN
IS THE ONLY CAMPAIGN THAT
OVER AND OVER AGAIN HAS
BEATEN DONALD TRUMP TO DATE,
AND IT'S WHY WE ARE THE ONE
CAMPAIGN THAT GOING FORWARD
CAN AND BEAT DONALD TRUMP IN
THIS ELECTION.
>> GO AHEAD, MR. TRUMP.
>> I HAVE HEARD TED SAY THAT
OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON
TELEVISION, THAT HE IS THE
ONLY ONE THAT CAN BEAT ME.
JUST, FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE
WON 10.
HE HAS WON 3 OR 4.
LAST WEEK, IN FACT, ON
TUESDAY, I WAS A HALF A
MILLION VOTES HIGHER THAN
HIM.
I WAS A MILLION VOTES HIGHER
THAN MARCO.
1 MILLION VOTES.
THAT'S A LOT OF VOTES.
AND WAS BY FAR IN FIRST
PLACE.
SO I KEEP HEARING THAT HE IS
THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN BEAT
ME BUT HE IS GETTING BEATEN
VERY, VERY BADLY.
SO WHERE DOESVúú-b THIS COME
FROM?
WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
>> GO AHEAD, SENATOR RUBIO.
>> I WOULDKW SAY A COUPLE OF
THINGS.
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT
DONALD HAS DONE WELL IN
THESE ELECTIONS.
THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT
THAT.
THE NUMBERS ARE THERE.
HERE IS WHAT THE NUMBERS
ALSO SAY, TWO THIRDS OF THE
PEOPLE WHO CAST A VOTE IN A
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY OR CAUCUS
HAVE VOLTED AGAINST YOU.
THEY DO NOT WANTED YOU TO BE
OUR NOMINEE.
THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE WE
ARE NOT GOING TO TURN OVER
THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT OR
THE PARTY OF LINCOLN OR
REAGAN, FOR EXAMPLE, TO
SOMEONE WHOSE POSITIONS ARE
NOT CONSERVATIVE.
TO SOMEONE WHO LAST WEEK
DEFENDED PLANNED PARENTHOOD
FOR 30 SECONDS ON A DEBATE
STAGE.
TO SOMEONE, FLAMPLE, WHO HAS
NO IDEAS ON FOREIGN --
SOMEONE WHO THINKS THE
NUCLEAR TRIAD IS A ROCK BAND
FROM THE 1980S.
TIME AND TIME ON ISSUE AFTER
ISSUE HAS NOT PROVEN THAT HE
HAS THE PRINCIPLES THAT
OUTLINE WHAT THE
CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT HAS
BEEN ABOUT AND AS TED SAID
THE THINGS THAT MADE AMERICA
GREAT.
AMERICA IS GREAT BECAUSE OF
THE CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES
OF LIMITED GOVERNMENT AND
FREE ENTERPRISE AND STRONG
NATIONAL DEFENSE AND OUR
NOMINEE NEEDS TO BE SOMEONE
THAT DISANDZ BY THOSE
THINGS.
DONALDS THAT NOT
DEMONSTRATED THAT.
>> GO AHEAD, MR. TRUMP AND
THEN WE HAVE TO GO TO
GOVERNOR KASICH.
>> VERY NICE WORDS BUT
HAPPENS TO BE WRONG.
CNN JUST CAME OUT WITH A
POLL> TWO DAYS AGO, A
NATIONAL POLL, EXCUSE ME, A
NATIONAL POLL, A NATIONAL
POLL WHERE HE IS AT 15%.
HE IS AT 14%, AND I'M AT
49%.
SO WHEN HE SAYS 75%, THAT
WOULD MEAN THAT 80% OF THE
PEOPLE DON'T DIG YOU AND I'M
BACK DOWN TO 15%.
>> OF ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE
STAGE HE PERFORMS WORSE THAN
HILLARY CLINTON.
>> WRONG, I BEAT HILLARY
CLINTON IN MANY POLLS.
I BEAT HILLARY CLINTON IN
MANY POLLS.
>> IF YOU ARE OUR NOMINEE.
>> HOLD ON, SENATOR.
>> KEEP ON TALKING.
>> I BEAT HILLARY CLINTON.
>> HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
>> I HOPE YOU CAN.
>> IF THE AUDIENCE CANNOT
UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU ARE
TALKING OVER EACH OTHER.
FINISH YOUR POINT,
MR. TRUMP.
>> I BEAT HILLARY CLINTON IN
MANYa÷ POLLS.
THE Q POLL JUST CAME OUT, I
BEAT HILLARY CLINTON IN A
RECENT FOX POLL.
I BEAT HILLARY CLINTON IN
"U.S.A. TODAY."
I BEAT HER TODAY IN A POLL
IN OHIO.
I BEAT -- I'M THE ONLY ONE
THAT BEATS HILLARY CLINTON.
I -- AND I HAVE NOT STARTED
ON HILLARY YET.
BELIEVE ME, I WILL START
SOON.
I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED.
>> GOVERNOR KASICH?
>> GOVERNOR KASICH, TODAY
YOU ADMITTED THAT YOU HAVE A
NARROW PATH TO THE
NOMINATION THROUGH A
CONTESTED CONVENTION.
TODAY ALSO MITT ROMNEY
PROPOSED THAT REPUBLICANS
SHOULD VOTE FOR SENATOR
RUBIO IN FLORIDA.
SHE SHOULD VOTE FOR YOU IN
OHIO.
THEY SHOULD VOTE FOR SENATOR
CRUZ IN STATES THAT HE CAN
BEAT MR. TRUMP TO PREVENT
MR. TRUMP FROM-W GETTING THE
NOMINATION.
SO, DO YOU BUY ROMNEY'S
BLUEPRINT AND CAN YOU SAY
TONIGHT TO YOUR FLORIDA
SUPPORTERS THAT THEY SHOULD
VOTE FOR SENATOR RUBIO TO
GET A CONTESTED CONVENTION?
>> YOU KNOW, THIS IS SO MUCH
ABOUT PROCESS.
IT FRANKLY IS BORING TO ME.
I WOULD LIKE IT CLEAR THOUGH
SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
POLLS, I BEAT HILLARY
CLINTON BY MORE THAN
ANYBODY, BY 11 POINTS.
THE REASON IT HAPPENS IN --
>> IN ONE POLL.
IN ONE POLL.
>> THE REASON IT HAPPENS
BECAUSE DEMOCRATS TELL ME
ALL THE TIME, CAN I GET THE
CROSSOVER VOTES.
YOU SEE, BECAUSE THROUGHOUT
THIS CAMPAIGN, I HAVE TALKED
ABOUT ISSUES.
I HAVE NEVER TRIED TO GO AND
GET INTO THESE KIND OF
SCRUMS THAT WE ARE SEEING
HERE ON STAGE AND PEOPLE SAY
WHEREVER I GO.
YOU SEEM TO BE THE ADULT ON
THE STAGE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW,
MITT ROMNEY IS HE A GREAT
GUY, BUT HE DOESN'T
DETERMINE MY STRATEGY.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS
I'M RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT
BECAUSE I WORKED HARD TO FIX
THIS COUNTRY WHEN I WAS IN
WASHINGTON AS THE CHAIRMAN
OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE
WHERE WE HAD SOME OF THE
MOST SIGNIFICANT JOB GROWTH
AFTER WE BALANCED THE
BUDGET.
WE HAD WAGES GOING UP.
IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL IN
OHIO.
OUR WAGES GROW FASTER THAN
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.
WE'RE UP OVER 400,000 JOBS.
WE PAID DOWN BACK IN THE OLD
DAYS THEY PAID DOWN A HALF A
TRILLION DOLLARS OF THE
NATIONAL DEBT.
IT'S A FORMULA THAT WORKS.
AND I BELIEVE THAT FORMULA
WILL WORK WHEN I RETURN TO
WASHINGTON AS THE PRESIDENT.
AND, BY THE WAY, I WON'T
NEED ON-THE-JOB TRAINING
BECAUSE I KNOW) HOW TO DO ALL
OF THIS.
AND WITHIN THE FIRST 100
DAYS I WILL HAVE A PLAN THAT
WILL PASS THE CONGRESS.
[BELL]
>> BECAUSE IT IS REASONABLE
AND I CAN BRING BOTH SIDES
TOGETHER.
>> GOVERNOR, YOU SAY THIS IS
ALL ABOUT PROCESS, BUT FOR
VOTERS, THEY NEED TO SEE A
PATH TO GET TO THE
NOMINATION IF THEY'RE GOING
TO SUPPORT YOU.
ON SUPER TUESDAY, YOU
FINISHED IN SINGLE DIGITS IN
NINE OUT OF 11 STATES.
SO YOU CONCEDE THAT YOUR
PATH IS THROUGH A CONTESTED
CONVENTION.
>> BRET, I THINK WE ARE ALL
ALREADY THERE.
THE SIMPLE FACT IS YOU ALL
WROTE ME OFF.
YOU WROTE ME OFF BEFORE I
EVEN GOT TO NEW HAMPSHIRE.
THEN WHEN I FINISHED SECOND
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE YOU WROTE
ME OFF IN THE SOUTH.
THEN YOU WROTE ME OFF IN
SUPER TUESDAY.
I SPLIT DELEGATES IN VERMONT
WITH DONALD TRUMP.
I FINISHED SECONDg.çñ IN
MASSACHUSETTS AND WE WON
DELS IN VIRGINIA.
GUESS WHAT, IT'S NOW MARCH
MADNESS AND WE ARE HEADING
UP NORTH TO THE PLACE, TO MY
TURF, OKAY?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> LET ME JUST TELL YOU
THIS, I WILL WIN OHIO.
I'M GOING TO MOVE ALL ACROSS
THIS COUNTRY AND OVER TIME
AS PEOPLE BEGIN TO FINALLY
HEAR MY MESSAGE -- DO YOU
KNOW WHAT PEOPLE SAY TO ME,
BRET, ALL THE TIME?
WHY DON'T THEY GIVE YOU ANY
TIME ON THE DEBATE STAGE?
WHY IS THAT?
NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN I'M
STARTING TO GET IT, WHAT I
WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW IS I
KNOW HOW TO BRING PEOPLE
TOGETHER,ó÷ REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS.
I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY, BOTH AT
THE FEDERAL.
[BELL]
FEDERAL LEVEL AND STATE
LEVEL BROUGHT ECONOMIC
GROWTH, WAGE GROWTH AND
ECONOMIC SECURITY TO THIS
COUNTRY.
AND I WANT TO GO BANG AND DO
IT -- BACK AND DO IT AGAIN
AND KEEP TALKING ABOUT MY
MESSAGE OF BRINGING PEOPLE
TOGETHER AND MOTIVATING
PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS
TO REALIZE THEY DON'T NEED
SOMEBODY FROM WASHINGTON
GALLOPING IN THERE ARE MANY
THINGS THEY CAN DO WHERE
THEY LIVE BECAUSE THE
STRENGTH IN OUR COUNTRY IS
IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND OUR
