42, I think!
Yep, it looks juvenile, and the colors clash pretty badly!
Ted is trying to smile, but he doesn't mean it. He look insincere and VERY uncomfortable.
He's creepy and SO sleazy looking!
The Trump faithful (bottom left) exit the venue and seem to have to enter the protesting crowd head on. Looks like very poor judgement by LEO supervision on the ground. I can't tell if there are barriers forming a crowd line on the right. It would be good to hear from some friendlies on scene that had to wade into the opposition.

I just don't get it...this is a woman who is supposedly handling REALLY BIG investment accounts but looks like THAT?
Supposedly, they were hauling in 2 million dollars a year, or so, before taxes, and they look like this? I'm NOT implying that they should look like they stepped out of a Neiman's or Saks, or Berdof Goodman's window, out on the trail, but they could and should try harder to look better than they do! They are NOT poor and neither should they try to "blend in", with the crowd. THAT'S JUST INSULTING!

Yes this is exactly what happened. We were dumped right into the protestors. I was at the rally. I was alone so I was a little nervous but cops had them gated off and the crowd was laughing at them and chanting right back. Bunch of losers! There were some people from the rally who weren’t happy with the cops for doing that.
Hat tip to Conservative Treehouse for the image lead, and the post by karenkln.
I heard on CNN, earlier, that the protesters/fools/thugs were cordoned off in their own special safe space. Then, just before the rally was over....these thugs/fools broke the roped off area and proceeded to crowd the rally exit....and to engage with the rally goers.
Pathetic losers.
The Hartford police are MORONS and obviously had NO plan at all for tonight. :-(
That picture looked scary.
Cboldt has made some good points about what this agitation movement is about and what the end goals are for this election cycle, and beyond. This is just the germination phase.
Did anyone see the video footage of the black Tulane football players that went over to a fraternity house and tear down a sandbag wall that the frat. brothers had built, that had Trump’s slogan- Make America Great Again, spray painted on the front?
Now imagine if this was done by white football players against a black fraternity supporting Obama, or Clinton, or Sanders, with a spray painted slogan of theirs emblazoned on a sand bag wall built in front of their fraternity.
and tear down = and tore down
Blacks comprise a little over 12% of the population and it's the tail wagging the dog, for them to be making demands and/or doing stuff like that. THIS HAS GOT TO END!
AAAAAAHHH!
LOL
I was just about to go to bed!
You trying to give me nightmares?
I’m from Illinois, and knew about Obama- long before the rest of America knew of him, and as a community organizer he was first and foremost- a sh!t stirrer. A non producer as well. He failed to vote (which was his primary job) more than any other sitting US Senator. I could go on and on, throughout the night, and I know you could too. Holder- GRRR! Just-Us Dept. My people. Black people can’t be racist. Bullsh!t!
I would like to see Sheriff Clarke of Milwaukee, in a high profile position of DJT’s, and COL. Allen West too- and then turn them loose.
I swear I have the same sweater in cobalt, from Coldwater Creek on clearance for $5. Not kidding.
They really don’t color coordinate very well, do they?
