Audio seems a bit sketchy on this feed. I hear mostly the loud crowd and Trump’s voice is echoing in the background.

Agree. Audio needs to be fixed.

“Marco is a good guy, I think he has a great career ahead of him...”

Hmmmmmm. I think Trump said something like this before.

Long time no-see kristinn. Last time we crossed paths was the second Freeper Ball in DC. It’s sure looking like another one is in our future.

I owe my FR moniker in no small measure to you. If memory serves me correctly, in a galaxy far far away, you used to sign off with Eagles Up!

Cowboy Up- was a popular slogan trending about this time, so it only stood to reason that Eagles Up be ours, here at FR, with certain credit to you and others of the day for it’s popularity and success.

I lurked for two whole years and finally decided to jump in with both feet in Nov., of the year 2000. I was all in on the Eagles Up way of thinking, so in keeping with the spirit of it’s meaning, I went with what I use to this day- freepersup. In hindsight, I would have separated -freepers- and the word -up- for maximum effect. It cracks me up to this day that the word freeper always shows up as incorrect spelling via the auto correct spell check here at FR.

Have yourself a terrific Free Republic weekend down in the sunshine state. We’ll see ya’ when we see ya’ good buddy. Keep your powder dry- and your end gate up.

Eagles Up!

Freepers Up!

First protester - lots of hooting and hollering as he's escorted out.

Trump having fun.

Except there is no DC Chapter to plan it

I used to just love Cavuto, then he soured on Trump, can’t stand to watch him anymore!! I think Trump has declined to be on his show something went wrong because Cavuto was a Trump supporter!!! I only watch Dobbs on FBN, and Judge Janine, Hannity has been EXTREMELY fair!!!! I just told another poster my world is becoming VERY small I refuse to listen or watch anything negative Trump!!! It just makes my blood boil!!!

Yes. Audio on Right Side absolutely sucks. I wonder if Rush will spend a half hour on Monday complaining that it’s a Cruz “dirty trick”? /s

A few, pretty run-of-the-mill phone pictures, I didn't bring my camera to either.

Had I had a camera with me, there was one particular scene that I would have loved to capture. It was at Sarasota, after the rally was over, in the parking area.

I watched a VERY elderly couple make their way along the fence... the woman used a walker and the man used a cane... they walked very slowly along the fence to get to a spot where they could watch Mr. Trump's copter lift off...

They were clinging to the fence.... waiting and waiting... I didn't go up to speak to them (wish that I did in hindsight), but I could tell from their body language throughout... they had been "waiting" for Mr. Trump to come onto the scene for quite a long time.... they were delighted (as so many of us are!) that he is here NOW.... and they are grateful to be able to cast what may be one of their last few votes for a man like Mr. Trump...

That's what I saw and felt from them.... maybe not having a camera was a good thing... perhaps I could not have captured all of that in an image or two?

Here is the (blurry!) crowd in Tampa:

FYI, Bridgeport is probably the poorest city in Connecticut. I live a few towns over from there and you can always tell when you took a wrong turn because suddenly it looks like you entered a third world country.

Connecticut may be one of the wealthiest states overall but there are definitely some pockets of real poverty and despair.

Of course they have suffered under decades of Democrat rule.
