EVERETT — Talk to the Donald Trump supporters lining up outside Xfinity Arena on Tuesday, and you’d hear a common refrain about the importance of the upcoming election: Everything.

“Our way of life is at stake,” said Shelly Fine, a medical student from Everett.

“For me, this is American history,” said Chris Wright, a 45-year-old Boeing worker from Gold Bar standing next to her in line. “This is going to be a piece of American history when this is all said and done.”

They were among the first to arrive outside the downtown Everett venue where the real-estate-mogul-turned-politician was due to speak at 7 p.m. Wright and Fine said they got there around 7 a.m. A few places ahead, two men said they had been the first to line up at 2 a.m.

By the time Trump flew into Snohomish County, the line outside the arena stretched along 10 downtown city blocks. People were making their way into the arena, a slow process given the security checks...

Wow! I used to live out there. This is amazing.

[Right Wing Assault]

Wow, this reminds me of the people trampling each other to buy some crappy toy at Wal-Mart for a few bucks off.

Yes, it reminds me because it's the exact opposite.

Karl Rove said the other day, on Fox News, that the day before the election in 1984, Mondale had 120K people at his rally.

The following day, Reagan won 49 States.

[rktman]

Just ten blocks? According to the lame stream he may as well call it quits now. 😂 What's wrong with those Everett people?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Don Trump has had 10,000 to 30,000 at rallies for over a year, not just a one-off.

[Sales Rep]

WTF is he wasting his time in Washington?

His real mission was fund raising, which happened earlier. I think it doesn't hurt to throw in a rally for his loyal followers even though our liberal state sucks. I just got inside. This is going to be fun.

[TWhiteBear]

‘The following day, Reagan won 49 States.’

Hillary Clinton is no Ronald Reagan.
TWB

[ripnbang]

He’s going for a 57 state sweep...

[Balding_Eagle]

Wow, that’s one bad video.

Careful, you could suffer a seizure the cameraman is so bad.

Its smart. Get within the margin there and Ore and force her to go out to shore up. She cant keep up. She will collapse and Trump could very well win the states Mitt the shits and co, couldnt even show at.

Take a look at her schedule. She cant handle it and it shows how weak and ill, both mentally and physically, she really is.

[amihow]

Just where was that Mondale rally?

[publius911]

what am I doing wrong?
The video at this link seems to be full time triple speed; vertigo city...

[fortheDeclaration]

He is going to win VA.

[fortheDeclaration]

Give me a break! Mondale had 120,000 at a rally?

Rove is the same guy who didn't think Trump had a chance of winning the nomination!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Karl Rove is a propagandist for the Cheap Labor Express.
Dampening enthusiasm is his game.

[fortheDeclaration]

Rove must have meant 20,000 and it was probably in his home State!

[cmsgop]

Hillary is running a lot of ads here in Phoenix, not sure why,,,,

[txrefugee]

Karl Rove, as usual, is wrong.According to UPI, Mondale’s largest crowd was in NYC on Nov.1, 1984, when a crowd estimated at 100,000 greeted him and his running mate, Geraldine Ferraro. Since this was a UPI story, that number may be suspect. And Election Day was not “the next day,” but was on Tues., Nov. 6th.
Don’t believe much of what the fat little “expert” tells you.

[Balding_Eagle]

Baloney, I agree.

How many venues can hold 120,000 people?

Where was it?

That question can’t be answered because it didn’t happen.

[crz]

She can run all the adds she wants. Trump can run half the adds and as long as he shows up to put on rallys...

It is the people who are the best campaigners.
