As I briefly pointed out, the basic rally was similar to Trump's other rallies. The basic message the same, but tailored to fit the local situation. For example, in Ohio the other night, he mentioned Ulysses Grant, who was born in Ohio.
Here in Richmond, KY, he was here to support a few locals including Andy Barr, who was running for re-election in the House. Both Senators were there, and both received a strong applause, though Rand Paul seems a bit more like a Rock Star than Mitch McConnell. Still, the Yertle is popular and has more recently grown quite the spine.
The Crowd was large, packing the venue (the Alumni Coliseum at Eastern Kentucky University) which holds somewhere between 6000 and 8000 depending on seating arrangements.
As I also mentioned, there is a great deal of electricity in the air when you are at the rally as opposed to watching it on TV or YewToob. The feeling of the crowd, and knowing that they are pretty much in sync with you, makes it much more dynamic. I didn't meet a single individual that wasn't friendly - all good people.
A couple of quick images. Keep in mind that I didn't have anything close to professional camera gear.
