Trump’s inaugural campaign stop in Colorado

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump came to campaign in battleground Colorado for the first time in Decision 2016.

Trump addressed hundreds of Colorado Republicans at the Western Conservative Summit at the Colorado Convention Center.

“We have a movement going on, maybe like something you’ve never seen in this country,” Trump said on stage in Denver.

But it’s a movement Colorado is slow to join.

In April Trump was rebuked by conservatives and delegates at the state convention for not showing up to compete for the state’s delegates.

Three later, Trump is now the presumptive nominee and looks to do right by the base.

“Colorado and the NRA are like synonymous,” Trump said. “We’re saving your Second Amendment rights, 100 percent we’re saving your Second Amendment rights.”

With four months to go until November, this may have been his first visit to this swing state, but Trump promised Colorado Republicans it wouldn’t be his last.

“Oh, we got to win here,” Trump said. “We have to win this one. I’ll be back, I’ll be back a lot.”

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin helped to introduced Trump at the Summit.
