Queen of the Dead Threads!!!

Miscellaneous Secondhand Observations from today’s Clinton Rally:
— One lone BernieBuster with his mouth taped over, carrying a flag. No hat. Standing in an asphalt parking lot on a day where the air temp is 97 degrees.
— Five Trump supporters trying to occupy the end of a crosswalk, trying to chant and getting drowned out by the five hundred or so people crossing the street and chanting ‘Hil-lar-y.’ Also too dumb to wear hats.
— The (alleged) cheesesteak place down the street had been pretty much taken over by the Hillary supporters all day, according to the sweet young Hispanic ladies running the place. They were quite amused by it, and made a lot of money.
— Everyone was keeping an eye on their fellow ralliers to make sure that no one got heat stroke.
— The folks in the second overflow room were high-fiving and thanking the police officers after the rally. People were parked up to 3/4 of a mile away. Crowd estimate 5000+
— Yes, Hillary & Hick did come to the overflow rooms to talk to people, and take pictures with her. Lots of moms and little girls, lots of babies, lots of little old ladies in their 70’s and 80’s. Gents in pink t-shirts that said ‘Madam President. Get used to it” At least one wiener dog sitting at the table next to hubby, with a cute little six-year-old girl who was busy taking pictures.
— Lots of people laughing and talking to each other, taking pictures of each other, loaning their signs to someone else for a shot. Very warm crowd, hubby says, and not from the outside temperature. Comparing notes on what they did on the last campaign.
— People in the crowd were speculating that we might not see Hillary herself back this election cycle, drat it — surrogates, maybe, and I’d love to see Tim Kaine. But Colorado is pretty solid blue in the cities now.
— No tickets needed. You filled out a card with your email and your address and pledged to do some volunteering for the campaign. That was your ticket.
— Hubby says he could tell it was driving the Secret Service a little nuts trying to deal with the crowd as the main speakers moved from room to room. “You can leave now… No, you can’t leave now, she’s coming here… Okay, you have five minutes to leave but if you do, you can’t come back in…” If she does come back — bigger venues. Definitely.

All in all, a good time had. Completely different than the Trump rallies. Still sorry I missed it, but toujours gai archy. (And no, she didn’t mention the caregivers issue, but it’s on the website. I’m still happy someone’s thinking about it.)
