What did you think of everything?
some initial impressions:
place was packed. it was in a gymnasium on the campus of University of NOrthern Iowa.
Security was heavy..including Secret Service.
crowd was pretty diverse...lots of young people....young 20 somethings...the age of my kids. I was glad to see so many young folks engaged in the process, and not drinking the bernie/hilary potions.
crowd was pretty enthusiastic, but not really as rowdy as some rallys I have attended in the past...Bush2 in 2004, for example.
trump spoke for about an hour...a bit less. he hit on alot of topics, but all cursory...no real substance/policy statements. per se.
for the most part, the crowd was quiet and hung on his every word. It was interesting to watch.
there were some protesters out front of the venue when we arrived...bunch of brain dead college students everyone in line was heckling THEM. it was kinda funny.
anyway....it was certainly an interesting evening.
