Thousands show up for Bay Area truck rally in support of President Trump
KCBS ^ | 10/24/2020 | Matt Boone

Posted on 10/26/2020 11:07:55 AM PDT by Vendome

The parking lot at Stoneridge Mall was packed Saturday morning with trucks decorated with American flags, Trump flags

The caravan of supporters of President Donald Trump started slowly filing out of the mall at about 11:30 a.m. to drive to Livermore.

Organizers estimate that about 2,000 to 3,000 vehicles showed up from around the Bay Area, including Suzy West and her parents, who live in Brentwood.

"We want him to have four more years," she said.

West said that her parents immigrated from El Salvador.

"When they came to this country, they wanted to become American citizens," she told KCBS Radio. "From the moment they became that, they have been proud, proud Americans. We don’t want anyone coming here illegally."

Organizer Ron Read said other Trump supporters have told him that they feel isolated in the Bay Area, and he wanted to create a space for them to feel heard.


"We’ll just show we're here, we support our president and there are more of us than you know," he added.

Indication of Cali plates on cars, ‘K’ leading station sign and mention of Livermore tells me it’s San Fran bay area.

She said people were honking and cheering for 3 hours as if POTUS was coming by in the motorcade.

Oh, it was 3 hours and then we spent another 2 hours at our destination eating and goofing off and listening to a few speakers for candidates and motivation for why we are doing this.

The route could have driven in 30 minutes but, it took a little more than 3 hours to get to our destination.

Took an hour to empty the parking lot and get on our way.

We had another one in Monterey yesterday with over 1,000 vehicles

So much fun and love the positive response

Combine this with being on the 3rd row dead center with 5 Hawt Chick Friends in Carson City, Nevada last week and 2020 may very well end up amazing

The President recognize my 1st Hawt Chick Friend who was yelling “I Love You!” and he pointing at her said “I Love You Too”

Then he said something that had me out of my chair screaming “Latino’s Love Trump!” “I Love You!” and he pointed right at me.

Then my other Hawt Chick friend was recognized by the President who said “We are doing great things for Hispanics” and a minute later after she kept expressing her love for the President he said “I Love You Too”

We are going to win on Nov 3rd or by December 14th...LOL

With all the enthusiasm shown at Trump rallies, why are his numbers always behind those of Joe’s? I wish someone could give me a viable explanation without mentioning the biased press.
Why does Trump feel that he still need these exhausting(for him) rallies?

I will give you 2 explanations: polls that aren’t capturing GOP “shy voters” (and Trump voters lying to pollsters), and also—worse for Trump—an enthusiastic vote for a candidate counts the same as an enthusiastic vote against an incumbent (a referendum election). Especially this year when you can literally “mail it in”—no effort needed to get to polls.

I think if Trump isn’t re-elected it will be like when Churchill lost his re-election bid. Sometimes a nation is just not grateful, or wants to try something else, or a leader is so effective that successes aren’t appreciated. Plus Trump is simply alone—so many headwinds against him, even his own party.

Doesn’t mean Churchill wasn’t excellent, and Trump is also an excellent president even if he doesn’t win a second term.

If Biden wins this will show the power of TV ads over in person campaigning, that’s for sure. An end to retail politics? A shame.

Good for you! A friend and I were in the standing-room-only section far behind you in Carson City. I’d forgotten how beautiful it is out there.
