There were a few people there. ;)

Ask me things, if you like. I may answer.

1. Why do you hate America?

2. In fairness, I would like to see Hillary, too.
I haven't heard of any rallies of hers that I can attend. Chelsea was here today.

It was fun. He gave a good speech. If he's our next president, life will be good, I think.

:hi:

20. It's getting calmer in GD-P.
I suggested running Nader for veep, and so far, I've survived without any super-nasty attacks.

Sense of humor seems to be returning, even some civility. I think everyone can sense the selection of the nominee is pretty much done.

5. Was it held inside? If so, were you searched before you entered the rally?
Mike Malloy show last night gave me the creeps.

It was all about how a black man can't (won't) get to the White House EVER.

Terrible thought. Many people have the same thought.

Alma Powell expressed it years ago about her husband, Colin Powell.

She said she was afraid if he were to run for President of the United States, he would be assassinated.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Our primary is May 20th. Tell me who to vote for.

I can't imagine the stress from campaigning until November!

Inside? No.
There were two ways to see the rally. If you wanted to get within 100 yards, you did have to pass through metal detectors and surrender your cell phones and cameras for inspection. If you didn't want to go through that, you could attend, just further back.

9. Did you take any pics?
Did you talk with him...did you ask him any questions? What was your impression of him?

(sorry, I have a lot of questions!)

11. No. Forgot my camera.
There were WAY too many people and I was about 50 yards away. He gave a very passionate speech. I was impressed. More impressed than when he debates.

12. Where did you see him? He was here in Corpus today, didn't go. Wondering
if this might be his Press Bus though:

It looked suspiciously similar to Hillary's Press Bus:


We're going to go see Bill tomorrow, at Lions Park here in Corpus.

19. I'm totally jealous
I wanted to take my son, he's 12. I thought it would be wonderful chance for him to witness history.

It was such a spur of the moment thing though, I wasn't sure where to park, etc. etc.

Lucky you!
