I saw the rally and it was THE best one he has EVER given.
Interesting thing was that the security screening was a combination of the Secret Service and the TSA (I had never seen a TSA agent outside an airport before, and it was a bit off-putting to me).
I think that he had a lot of energy and spirit. Before the inside rally began, they patched in the PA from where he was addressing people outside of the arena. It was an odd phenomenon--hearing his voice over the PA, obviously talking in realtime to the people outside, but seeing the still empty podium. I don't think that it was an exaggeration to say that that disconnected voice literally FILLED the whole arena!!
The crowd was very much ALIVE and in high spirit! Everyone being very friendly and sociable with others around them, kind of like members of a fraternal society.
I kept thinking as we were filing out with the crowds--these are not a bunch of "window shoppers" sampling many candidates, these are committed VOTERS!! People from all walks of life that are simply fed up and not going to take it anymore.
Thousands of people walking toward the helicopter to listen to his final words to the outside group (after the inside rally)... (I got close enough to him in the autographing signing crowd after the inside speech to hear him saying: "Come outside.. come to the helicopter... we will talk more outside...") others gathered in numerous places along the fences just milling about, chatting, perhaps hoping to catch a glimpse of Mr. Trump... If I had my camera I would have stopped to capture an image of an older couple, on the way to the parking area, one of them with a walker, they stopped and waited along the chain link fence, waiting to watch the Trump copter arise in the distance... And, we were in the parking lot waiting to leave when the Trump copter took flight... almost everyone in out area of the lot jumped out of our cars to watch its ascent!
To me, these crowds are unlike any I've experienced at political rallies... this is a movement... these are COMMITTED supporters... and none of them are going to be dissuaded by the continual tinny attacks from the gopE and the media.
I encourage everyone to get out to rally when one is held withing driving distance of your home, you will not regret one minute of travel or line waiting. You will not come away unsatisfied.
