Sunrise expects big crowds, traffic gridlock for ‘unprecedented’ Trump rally
Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel ^ | November 25, 2019 | Skyler Swisher

Unless you are going to President Donald Trump’s rally Tuesday, stay away from the BB&T Center.

Sunrise is expecting heavy traffic near the arena and the nearby Sawgrass Mills mall with “tens of thousands” of people expected to attend, according to an advisory issued by the city. The Sawgrass Expressway near the arena will be closed to commercial trucks during the afternoon rush hour, and drivers can expect significant delays with traffic being merged into one lane, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Traffic is expected to be heavy throughout the day with the arena parking lot opening at 7 a.m., and the arena’s doors opening to Trump fans at 3 p.m..

“Frankly, we have never had a campaign event like this at the BB&T,” Sunrise Mayor Michael Ryan said. “To be sure, we have had other events, even then-candidate Trump in 2016. However, this will be, from all indications, unprecedented."

The dress code calls for a MAGA hat.

I need to wear my traditional hat that I always wear on YouTube. I often run into people who recognize me due to the hat. On my recent Steve Kane Radio Show Caribbean Cruise that was how I was primarily recognized and met a lot of people I didn't know before.

The Miami fake news media, from the Rush Limbaugh station WIOD to ALL of the local tv stations to the fish wrappers have been MOSTLY SILENT on Trump’s visit.

Same media that would wet themselves with excitement whenever Barack Hussein Obama would fly in to golf.

Sort of off-topic, but recently a woman came in to where I work and she was wearing a MAGA hoody. I told her that I liked her jacket and she said that she had not gotten any negative responses from wearing it.

That was encouraging!

Just announced is another Trump rally, this one in Hershey, PA. For what it's worth, it's to be held the day after the FISA IG Report is set to drop.

I bet our Trump rally in Sunrise, FL will be a lot warmer outside than the one in Hershey, PA.

I just checked and the weather here tomorrow will have a low of 68 and a high of 78. Very comfortable. I’ll probably wear a light jacket and shorts.

That was encouraging!

I went to the eye doctor the other day with my MAGA hat on.

I got a couple of stink eyes, but several Mexican nurses and the doctor gushed over my hat.

And this was in California.

The tide is turning and we are the majority. Don't let the derp media fool ya.

In 2016 they closed off the upper rafters so it will be interesting to see if those will be open this time.

I hope they have Port-O-Potties outside. I need a place to recycle my morning coffee after my body processes it.
