There's already been one outdoor rally assassination attempt showing the Secret Service can't protect the candidates adequately enough in that venue.

I'm old enough to remember how the loss of Bobby Kennedy spun our whole society and government in a different direction. We don't need this again.

anyone close enough to any of a Harris/Walz rally, GO! It drives Trump crazy and he used it to support the big lie. Hamlette Aug 2024 #58

If you are close enough, go to a Harris/Walz rally. It will drive Trump crazy if our crowds are bigger than his. Hamlette Aug 2024 #59
