The fox theater downtown. That's a classy venue-- doesn't seem appropriate for a rally. And it's a little shocking that he'd come to such a diverse, blue city with so many college students, people of color, etc.

A few months ago, I might have protested, but he's attracting so much hate that I don't think it's safe to be anywhere near the vicinity.
