Tampa Convention Center was built in 1990 and features over 600,000 sq ft of convention space. A lot of people can be fit inside the Tampa Convention Center. I'm hard-pressed to find a total capacity but certainly in the thousands. Located at the "mouth" of the Hillsborough River, it features views of Tampa's spacious bay and Tampa's somewhat glittering skyline.

A chance for thunderstorms is on tap for the greater Tampa area, with high temperatures of 85 degrees. Thunderstorms are a fixture of Tampa weather this time of year.

Moving on up to Pittsburgh for today's later rally, Atlantic Aviation operates a cavernous 30,000 sq ft hanger for general and corporate aviation. Most likely this event will be a "land-speak-and-takeoff" event for Trump. He has done these in the past with great success. Airport security precautions filters out the riff-raff and you have several thousand highly charged Trump supporters witnessing the magnificence of the Trump aircraft as drops out of the clouds and circles the airfield for a landing.

This type rally is the 21st Century equivalent of the 20th Century "whistle-stop" tours, in which presidential candidates would travel the nation on rickety rails and deliver addresses from the train as spectators listened from the train platforms. Below is a photo of Harry Truman on just such a stop. Down below, I will put a typical shot of a "land-speak-and-takeoff" stop by Donald Trump.

I'm thinking we need to come up with a catchier phrase for this.

This is Tampa's skyline at night with Tampa Convention Center in the foreground. I guess it fairly glitters after all. That scene makes me want to have an umbrella drink in my hand with reggae playing on the boat's speakers.
