He needs to hit the college crowd and get the youth vote like obama did.

I was there today. Got a pic of him zinging past me in a golf cart. 61500 in the stadium, another 40000 outside tailgating. Stood in the port-a-pot line with a guy telling me about his selfie with Scott Walker. Also heard Rubio and Paul were there.
I went to the tent mentioned in the article. The malcontents were hanging around. to their credit, they were homemade signs, not the usual professionally made signs with professional agitators.
Great venue for presidential candidates, as long as they don't push it. People are there for football. If they want to walk through the lots, wave and such, all is well. Nobody is in the mood for some big policy discussions.

Wow, that’s what I was thinking. He was way too close to people - there are crazies every where. I pray for his safety.

Not much time to prep for the photo, but here is my pic. ISU football is really bad. But ISU tailgating is top notch. When Iowa comes to down, it is a massive spectacle.

The bags are filled with corn not beans. People attempt to throw the bags of corn into holes or at least onto the platform. Hence the name “Corn Hole”.

That may be true where you come from, but the rest of us know it as being the cheap money alternative to the money hole...if you get the drift.

Havent seen that word used in decades, doubt many here ever have?I suspect there is a pretty large contingent of over 60 freepers that would be familiar with the term.

Where I come from? Cornhole is a game played nationwide, with official rules, regulations, a governing body (the American Cornhole Association) and sanctioned tournaments. Sure it's also an old fashioned slang term for sodomy but as adults we should be able to not titter and giggle over slang terms right?

It’s unfortunate that today’s students have not been schooled in true American history. Students today do not learn about freedom, liberty, and limited government. Gov’t is supposed to get their powers from the consent of the government. I wish Trump would talk about this. Does he believe this? He is in a great position to discuss this with the young (between his jokes, of course.

Never heard that term used to refer to a beanbag game until recently, and I roll my eyes every time I hear it.

“cornhole”?
Really?
*******************
Funny! I noticed that too.
I guess replacing queer with gay wasn’t enough for the people that want to change the meanings of words. ...How does a game involving tossing a small bean bag in a hole become cornhole?
