Live stream. People in VA up past midnight to hear Trump, walked 2.5 to get there.

Years ago, I was going with my buddies to a ski resort in Lake Tahoe. Little did we know, Julia Mancuso, the silver medalist who just competed in the Winter Olympic days ago, was making an appearance somewhere along our route.

We got stuck in the biggest traffic hell jam ever with what seemed like the entire population in Lake Tahoe heading to see her. I have never ever seen so many cars and so many people in Lake Tahoe ever, and never since. We were stuck at least 15 miles from where Mancuso would be and didn't move for almost two hours. Some people parked their cars at the side of the road and just trekked.

We finally threw in the towel and headed back. As we left, we saw that the traffic backup had extended to the freeway and some people were eating in their cars (how'd they know to bring food?), hell bent on meeting the famed athlete if it meant spending the entire day. I am pretty sure many just ended up sitting in traffic the whole day.

Now, Julia Mancuso is a good athlete, to be sure. But is she the best and most popular athlete in the world?? Even she will say no.

What I've learned is that if you put the right person in the right spot, you can generate a huge crowd. That doesn't mean the same response applies everywhere.

Agreed. I'm glad to see enthusiasm but unless you're old and frail or really out of shape 2.5 isnt that much. When I backpack I often walk over 20 miles a day, with 30+ lbs on my back.

She even has had to hold rallies in hallways because so few people show up to them. Kaine has had to repeatedly cancel his rallies because no one shows up at all!

And somehow the media really wants to make everyone think that this election is close... We are living in 1984 right now folks.

Most Clinton supporters I know have already voted.

Breitbart has summarized a fair number of high profile liberals who have full out said they are not voting Clinton... they don't think she's the lesser of two evils.

Hillary Loses the Left - Breitbart
Only five living people on this planet have served as POTUS. All five of them don't think Trump is qualified. Two of them are having to hold their nose and jump party lines to protect our nation from the Trump Follies. The other three are predicable.

The media has done everything they can to make it close.
  • They give trump free airtime
  • they propogate the lies against hillary
  • they report non-facts from Comey
  • They continue to let Trump tell lies without calling him out
  • They report what Trump says (even if he complains that his own words are bias against him)
  • it goes on and on and on

The media needs a story, and Trump is the best thing that happened to them since Micheal Jackson's death. They have, and will do anything to prop this baffoon up, for their own ratings.

But those of us who are sane came to the rescue. Hillary is going to make a great President. I'm one man who isn't afraid to let a woman run this country........we guys haven't exactly done the best job ourselves.

The two holding their noses are good buddies with the Clintons.
