The people kept coming, and the line kept growing and growing.
The line of people to see Donald Trump snaked from the entrance to the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier down the parking lot, back up toward the entrance again and then back around alongside another lane of cars. By the time the fire marshal stopped letting people in, with almost 2,000 people onboard the ship, there were still around 1,000 people waiting outside.
For three hours, I walked among the Trump supporters standing in line, engaging them in conversations that lasted between 10 and 20 minutes, trying to better understand who they were and what had drawn them to come see Trump.

The writer went there to condemn Trump fans. By the end, the writer recognized Trump has an appeal beyond what the MSM could ever understand. Interesting read.
I waited a couple of hours to see him in OKC. It was a great evening!
Have never seen a rally by one of the Democrats on MSM.
I waited 3.5 hours to see him in Norfolk, VA and then another 1.5 hours while he talked. I’d do it again tomorrow.
There’s a reason for that. They also don’t cover Muslim day events or gay pride beyond selected pics. They don’t just cover for these groups they protect them with a passion from the idea that they are freakazoids while doing everything they can to smear ordinary normal Americans. The worst part is most of the time conservative media doesn’t even target leftist supporters.

The writer sure spent a lot of time talking about what people were wearing.
Actually not too bad of a read (barf)....sorry, pardon me...it actually did show that Trump’s appeal cross many different types of people and issues. What does ring clear, though, is people can sense something is not right, it’s palpable, and they see Trump as someone who may not fix everything, but certainly has what is needed to start turning the ship around.
I noticed that too. But we’re the ones who judge people on appearance /s
——faux-populist appeals ——
I would say unequivocally that Trump is never faux. he is the genuine article
The author somehow ferreted out the yankees in the charleston crowd. in so doing, he missed the southern charm that most certainly dominated those in the line.
the one theme that permeated the piece was individual initiative. those quoted were small business people, even the yankee doctor that escaped Massachusetts
