Went to the Ocala rally today. It was very hot inside the building. About 7-10k made it in the building. About the same amount was turned away. The line to get in stressed literally a mile. I got in line at 10am and it took a 1.5 hrs to make it in. The line behind me was 5 times as longer than when I got in.
Metal detectors were used on entrance with random frisks. They had the press positioned in the middle of the floor which restricted the view for anyone in the back. All the bleachers were packed.
Crowd was rowdy. Rally began with a prayer and the pledge. Good speeches from local, state and federal politicians. Both Ted Yoho and Dan Webster there, both adamantly endorsed Trump. The VP of the FL RNC clearly stated they backed Trump. Rudy G gave a great speech and read some wikileaks info.
Trump was on fire. Talked for over an hour. Probably used the teleprompter the least that i’ve seen.
There were 3 (well behaved) Hillary protesters on the way out and onew guy by the gate who was yelling and swearing at people as they left. He had a red F@#* Trump hat on.
Great report. Thank you.
Great reporting and so glad you were able to get inside. Were you one of the dancers in the video I posted?
