I passed the location on my way to early voting this morning - a Trump campaign trailer (probably carrying campaign stuff, not the one that The Donald would be in) was pulling in as I attempted to drive by - they were blocking slightly more than one lane of the four lane road.

The venue is an antique car museum and the owner of it has a similar reputation as Trump of not paying for work done.

After I voted I stopped to talk to an old acquaintance from the Leon Democratic Club and the people who were waving signs for Hillary Clinton. The rumor is that the Trump campaign is estimating that there will be 10,000 people and that the event has been moved outside.

I decided that I will stay away from the east side of town until sometime tomorrow. The venue is at the I-10 and US 90 intersection east of Tallahassee. If anyone is out that way - WATCH OUT! There will be much stupidity and ignorance flying in every direction!

Aside from that I voted. There was a decent turnout while I was there but with the efficient poll workers there was no serious line and everything went smoothly.

Reason he's there is probably the airport. The smaller of two Orlando jet airports.
And proximity to rich republicants.

Bill Nelson stopped there during 2012 I think and he was traveling with Jimmy Buffet. Buffet did a free concert in the hanger for all the local community organizers. Probably 200 people it was great!! Jimmy was very political the environment was his issue.

He gave them over the summer in places where people were damned near killed waiting around on the tarmac in the heat, can't see why he'd stop now.

Such a man of the people.
