What surprised me the most was when Trump asked the audience if they would be for deportation of people who had been here illegally for twenty years, but worked hard, never arrested, raised families, or would people want a way for them to stay..
Only one guy yelled out deport them.
Crowd was loud, and rowdy. Foxnews/Hannity has the town hall format as down to flow seamlessly.
Was funny when first hour was over Trump left, then the second hour, for Wednesday night show, he was welcomed like he hadn’t just been sitting there the previous hour.
When there were disrupters, maybe 6 different times, the updated till they were booted, then had a “retake/do over”.
More police than protestors. Horse Patrol had some great looking horses. The horses went to a nearby park for “lunch” eating the grass under shade from trees.
Protestors blocked off street north of town hall, maybe where fundraiser was being held.
Lot of Latinas for Trump. Was in line with two ladies from San Antonio who were attending Town Hall, and The Rally.
No Mexican Food for me..Ice cream at DQ in Johnson City.
Traffic and street closures in Austin..took 50 Minutes just to cross the River to head south..
Summary: huge support for Trump cutting across ethnic, economic, and age. Oldsters in Wheelchairs, Tons of Young people, lots of Hispanics.
Protestors were the usual. Only 27 protestors when we went in.
People were mostly ignoring them.
Im just getting to FR.. did sleep a bit before work and did my Night Audit and taking a little time to catch up on day’s events.
I started at END of thread and yours is the first on the spot report. Thank you. So glad you were able to go.
Glad he chose the Lion’s Den of Blue/lib Austin for this event/rally. If he can draw people to this area it speaks volumes of his appeal.
His next rallies in Dallas/Houston or a border town will be super barn burners
Hi Everyone (the three of you still up)
Looking forward to doing some catch up on thread for the hour I have til I start my next round of work /chores here at hotel.
Oh yes..for those that inquire on guests here of notability .. Wed night at the Rocksino is a Happy Together Tour concert. They are all staying with us. Lineup: Happy Together Tour 2016 -Mark Lindsay, Chuck Negron, The Spencer Davis Group, Gary Puckett,Flo & Eddie, The Cowsills
I however will be in Nashville (OH) for about 36 hours and will miss meeting them or going to concert which would have been complimentary.
Got a new Glock today and will be checking out Ammo to make sure it is compatible— as I also visit friends and check out the Walnut Creek Cheese store ; David Walther museum & my fav. Menonite thrif shop in Millersburg OH.
