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."

This is one of the biggest arenas ever for a Trump rally. Filling it.with Trump supporters will send a terrific message.

It was about 20 degrees outside the Trump Thank You Rally in Hershey in 2016. We arrived only an hour before the start and got in. I wouldn’t count on that this year.

For the moment Sunrise is showing upon Google Maps. Believe it almost came to a lawsuit once or twice, before Google quit deleting the city’s existence from records.

Sorry....for the errors.....I stayed tuned through that entire fiasco with the school administration, useless Obama protecting these mentally ill, murderous misfits, the crooked, incompetent sheriff and the lack luster FBI. Sad....sad...sad!!! These children and teachers did not have to die...period. Folks...like Democrat, Debbie Wassermann Schultz, etc., are directly to blame, IMHO!!!

Democrat controlled,...Broward County, same as Detroit, Philadelphia, New York City, Baltimore, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, etc., Democrat Lawless Ghettos!!!

It begins!!! Hundreds of Trumpies camped out overnight at the BB&T Center Arena to get good seats for this massive POTUS, Trump Rally in the very heart of Democrat infested crooked Broward County...CBS is reporting this morning. Tens of thousands of Trump supporters are expected to attend this gigantic rally this evening. You can watch on C-Span, RSBN, OAN, & dozens of live feeds, etc.

As to Fox News Channel and Fox Business News carrying this rally on TV...who knows? They probably will broadcast “An Hour with Chris Wallace, Judge Napolitiano, & Neil Cavuto...bad mouthing POTUS, Trump the entire time. Sad days for FNC & FBN!!! They have jumped over to the dark side!!!

Twitter kicked me off. I wish people wouldn’t link to it. Meanwhile I’m in. Top row of the first side section even with the press gaggle, wearing a white Rush Limbaugh hat.

I was born in Lauderdale and our house was the farthest existing home in North Lauderdale at the time.

That was on NW 16th avenue.
(Imagine that)😲

The good news is we have plenty of uninterrupted options to watch besides Fox. I watched the last couple of rallies on CSPAN. After the rally I turn on Hannity. Don’t watch Wallace or Baer or any of the Fox so called “anchors”. Who needs them? Let them take a ratings hit.

The Hollywood Sportatorium...ah memories!

I saw Billy Joel there. When he came out for his encore he kicked his sneakers into the crowd, laid down on the top of his grand piano on his back, reached over his head, and played the intro to Angry Young Man.

The Moody Blues put the whole place into three feet of fog that poured from the stage.

Hall and Oates started their show in pitch blackness with a drum solo that ended with “DANCE ON YOUR KNEES...KNEES...KNEES...” and a blinding flash of light and right into You’re Out of Touch.

And getting higher than a kite sitting in the cheap seats with cannabis smoke wafting through the rafters.
