Talk Show Host Laura Ingraham: Trump Has 'Incalculable Momentum'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Talk show host Laura Ingraham made her case for Donald Trump, telling Chris Stigall in an interview on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT that the momentum she sees behind the GOP nominee is enormous.
"It's going to be slog for Trump but that incalculable momentum and the incalculable enthusiasm that I have not seen since I was a kid in high school when Ronald Reagan was coming to New England, where I'm from. I've never seen anything like this. I know Obama, without a doubt, had it in 2008 especially. He has that kind of rock star quality, but I've never see anything like this on the Republican side since Reagan."
She said many of Trump's supporters see their country slipping away from them.
"I think people get the sense that it's one of the last times they're going to be able really vote for the America that they love. It's an America that's growing and thriving, whether it's rule of law, the law applies to everyone no matter where you come from or what your last name is. I think people really do have that feeling that America, as we knew it growing up, where everybody has a shot and the dream is really alive, is slipping away and they have a guy who is actually speaking for them."
Ingraham dismissed the latest letter released from FBI letter James Comey indicating that nothing new was found in the emails contained on a device in the possession of Anthony Weiner, stating this election should be about change.
"I think he believes he's found nothing and, much like before, she had a private server. We know the server was hackable and hacked. We know that people had access to the server who shouldn't have had access to the server, including her housekeeper, who, apparently, was printing out classified documents. He's going to do what he's going to do. I've always thought this election was going to be based on where the country is. Do you think this is really going in the right place? Are the Clintons the right place for change? It seems to me we need to turn the page from the Republican establishment and the Democrat establishment and give people their government back."
