The line- you were closer to the front, I think, but it snaked back at least a mile, and doubled back on itself for about half that. It took an hour to get through it and we never even made it into the hangar- just waited with a huge crowd on the outside. I've attended other campaign rallys there and this was twice the size of the largest I can remember.
There was an air of quiet but fierce determination in the line. There was a small group of protestors (10-15) who were just standing there without saying much. I think they, like we, were awed by the size of the crowd- you couldn't see the end of the line from where they were standing, but it just kept coming by them, four or five abreast. They just held on to their signs a bit nervously, and dared not say a word. To provoke that crowd by yelling would have been insanity and I think we all knew it.
We were so late getting in that we saw the Trump jet arrive and pull up close to the hangar. It is magnificent, and when they rolled the stairway up and Trump came down the stairs, the crowd was deafening.
There were as many people outside as were inside- the outside crowd stretched down the Tarmac to the end of the building. We heard the speech, but missed the protester action as you just couldn't see.
It was like a lot of rallies I've attended, in some ways, with the yelling, the cheering and the comradare, but there was something else, too, that I haven't felt before, at any political rally, and that was the air of fierce determination that I mentioned before.
We are at some sort of national tipping point , the last calm before the storm breaks upon us, whatever it brings, I don't think the American people are going to go gently into the globalist night. There was a strong and righteous anger stirring in that crowd, and I think the elites and the globalists ought to be very careful about provoking it.
We got in line about 12:30 and were in by a little after one. They dragged the protestors right in front of me on both instances. I couldn’t resist but to tell them each “Goodbye loser” as they were pushed out of the hangar. I actually got video of Trump Force One landing. Just an amazing event, and I agree with the “fierce determination” feel.
Hey Red Boots, thanks for posting that. Nice to be there at least second hand. My sister et al. are there - be sure to look for them ;)

For those who don't know the geography of where Grand Junction is, it is a city on the western edge of Colorado, only a few miles from the Utah border. It has a population of about 150,000 in the city and surrounding area. Grand Junction is kind of an oasis, as outside of the city, it is surrounded by state and federal lands for about 100 miles at least in almost any direction. Other than the city itself, and Delta 50 miles away, there are no other places to draw this crowd from.
