Staged big time.
This is near my hometown, and I can assure you this is a heavy Republican area. However, some were planning to protest the speech today, but not too many showed up for that. It looked like a fairly good-sized crowd from the pix I’ve seen. I didn’t go because I didn’t want to fight the crowd. They had our main highway blocked off as well as the downtown area of Lancaster, but were providing shuttle buses for the event from a site in the east end of Lancaster.
The local paper in Lancaster posted some pix of the event. You can see them at www.lancastereaglegazette.com.
