Was speaking with the Trump state Co chair. Mentioned to him I had not seen a single yard sign for sCruz of John WHO. He was in Lake County near Chicago, today and said he saw his first John WHO sign in the Region but no sCruz sign anywhere in the state.
We have also run out of TRUMP signs again because they are in such great demand.
I agree and Enjoyed seeing you all here.
So again very happy that you saw him.
Fun times tonight and I am sure many more to come!
