Donald Trump 2016 Make America Great AGain ^

Are Y'all fixin? As in "fixin" to get excited for Donald Trump tonight?

Tonight will be @ the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington, VT.

I will post other live threads if they superior to this one. For example, we've noticed that Fox News of Phoenix sometimes stream the Trump Rallys at:

Here's a little background of this historic place.

HISTORY OF THE FLYNN

The Flynn has been at the center of Vermont's cultural landscape for almost 80 years—from its earliest days as a vaudeville house through five decades as a premier movie theater to its present incarnation as the region's leading performance center and arts education organization. Today, the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts is recognized internationally for its significant artistic, educational, and community outreach activities; superb technical capacity; beautiful ambiance; historic setting; and world-class presentations.

As we approach the Flynn's 30th anniversary as a performing arts center and 80th anniversary as an historic theater, we celebrate a rich legacy of connecting our community with the arts.

THE BIRTH OF AN ENTERTAINMENT

It was the time of the Great Depression and the country was trying to rebound from the stock market crash of 1929. The presence of the University of Vermont and active textile and lumber industries buffered Burlington somewhat from the ravages of precipitous economic decline. "Bootleggers" scoffed at Prohibition. The face of George Washington was unveiled on Mount Rushmore. The Graf Zeppelin took to the air. Hamburger was 35 cents a pound, an entire steak dinner cost just $1.25, and Ford's new Deluxe Coupe could be driven out of the showroom for $545.

More on the Flynn Center can be found here:

One last comment.

This is Bernie Sanders country. Why the Trump Team picked this place is beyond me. It's been reported, in some publications, that the organizers were worried his crowd would scoop up all the tickets. Whether this is true or not, I personally wouldn't know, but fact is the Trump Team has offered up to 20,000 tickets on line to an event that will hold approximately 1400 people. This seems a bit absurd, and may cause a problem for the neighborhood.

It's already posing a problem for the local police force who are committed to having an orderly and safe show.

I've noticed also in the local news that some of the artists who have performed at the Flynn have asked that theater cancel the event, because they consider Donald Trump's Rally has a forum for "hate speech," but the Directors of theater refused.

Let's pray that there are no serious injuries tonight.

Here are some excerpts from the Burlington Free Press:

Vermonters who plan to see Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speak on Thursday should prepare for "airport-like" security and sizable crowds after the campaign issued tickets for more than 10 times the number of available seats, the Flynn Center's executive director says.

“We’ve been working with the Secret Service very carefully along with the Burlington Police Department,” said John Killacky, whose 1,400-seat theater is playing host to Trump's evening speech.

Outside the venue, city officials are concerned after learning the Trump campaign issued far more free tickets than there are available seats. As of midday Wednesday, police said the campaign had distributed about 20,000.

“I wonder if the Trump campaign took into account the safety of the police officers who have to contend with large, dissatisfied crowds,” Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo said. “This situation would place police officers in needless confrontations with citizenry.”

Expect a complete circus by the liberals and violence. I’ll be genuinely surprised if this goes off without violence instigated by liberals.

I don’t think in my life time, have I experienced this kind of presidential campaign. However, when you read about the campaigns in Lincoln’s day, and Andrew Jackson’s Day and turn the century this is the kind of mud slinging you got.

It amazes me that the elections were not fraudulent. How in the heck did they maintain honest elections back in Lincoln’s day.

Here again, why is Trump doing this? It’s like, she’s backed off of him, and now he lays it on thick.

This guy is fearless. I think it sends a message to everyone, to not mess with him.

"Gun and magazine bans are a total failure. That's been proven every time it's been tried.
Opponents of gun rights try to come up with scary sounding phrases like 'assault weapons', 'military-style weapons' and 'high capacity magazines' to confuse people. What they are really talking about are popular semi-automatic rifles and standard magazines that are owned by tens of millions of Americans.

Law-abiding people should be allowed to own the firearm of their choice. The government has no business dictating what types of firearms good, honest people are allowed to own."
