You're talking about Trump voters. What else would you expect?

You think that's funny?

The movement to counter Trumpism has just begun. Think this is too much? Just wait.

Ten thousand marchers. Three to five thousand were expected. TEN THOUSAND put on their pink hats and their walking shoes to stand up for their beliefs. Awesome.

Tell them to go home. The election was last month and they missed it.

The march seems YUGE in DC. The Mall looks more packed than it did yesterday. I'm kind of surprised!

I just saw that one of them had a sign that read, "Free bungee jumps for Congress--no strings attached." Pretty clever. I like originality. "Not My President" is kinda old.

I am interested in seeing whether Trump steps up and addresses them. I don't mean today, on the mall, but in a press conference. If he is smart, he will.

Not sure if he is smart. I'm counting on Ivanka.

500,000 and growing, they say. That makes it at least twice what it was yesterday. Hundreds of thousands more are coming out in cities across the country as the time zones change.

Yes, there's even one not far from me, in Asbury Park, NJ.

Nope, they're not going home and they're not shutting up.

Hey, isn't it time to switch the tube in your beer can hat to the other side?

10,000 is nothing. We had 10,000 people in Albany, NY in 2013 - nearly all from NY itself - and barely made the news. Then again, I'm part of a group that the media thinks needs to be demonized. Maybe we should have worn pink hats.
