COUNCIL BLUFFS — There’s little doubt about the loyalty of President Donald Trump’s biggest fans.
The president, whose polling numbers among Republicans show tremendous buoyancy under any circumstances, is scheduled to speak starting at about 6:30 p.m.
With thousands in a line that stretched around a strip mall, through the parking lot and around the field house, the doors to the Mid-America Center opened just before 3:30 p.m.
Hours before, at 10:30 a.m., a crowd of more than 150 people had lined up outside the Mid-America Center. About 10 of them had camped out overnight.
One family of campers took a shared approach to the elements. Lincoln resident Kirby Young, a 56-year-old who described himself as a conservative, said it was his turn to sit in line while his family went to a nearby hotel to warm up and eat breakfast.
Sitting in the rain, under a tarp supplied by a friend, was worth it, he said, because his 13-year-old daughter, also a Trump fan, would get to see the president speak.
“Sometimes he sticks his foot in his mouth, but we will take a little bit of that from someone who will fight,” he said. “There’s no such thing as a fair fight, and he understands that the way the Democrats always have, unlike so many Republicans.”

My folks lived in CB for 30 years. I imagine a lot of people from nearby Omaha will also be there. The GOP governor needs a little boost. Hope she gets it.
Good for her.
Chilly and raining, sometimes hard. Saw a news clip that that the line is long and growing. My brother and his wife are there, waiting, I have to work. Lot of Nebraskans there as well as Iowans.
Astonishing!
