Trump rally empty, attendees chanting "Lock her up!"

Per @acosta on twitter.
People claiming that it's empty because bridges are closed. Sure they are.

And Acosta reporting the knuckle draggers there are chanting, "Lock her up!"

Excellent job bringing us together, Donny the Douche.

To say "lots of fat, bigoted (black, Hispanic, Asian) people ready to stuff their fat faces?"

That seems like an extremely, extremely, extremely, insensitive, insulting, uncouth and in my opinion, racist post you just made.

I think your post is disgusting on many levels.

I guess if you want to pretend they don't know their way around an "n word" joke that's your business. I'll confront the reality before me and call it what it is.

You, based off your previous post, are just as guilty of racism as they are.

That's what I think calling reality is.

If you think it's offensive to call a white nationalist rally full of people devoted to his every utterance exactly what they are you're going to be in for a rough ride. A very rough ride.

If you feel ok with how you word things, you're definitely not my kind of Democrat.

For whatever reason, traffic tonight was unlike ever before. We have had BHO, HRC, Shrub in town many times and never had issues like this.

One of the local newscasters was onsaying that she was 45 minutes into her 6 minute drive to work...and she estimated she was less that 25% of the way there.

There were roads and expressway entrances closed in places that made absolutely no sense relative to the airport-arena route. People were calling the radio stations talking about being shunted off the expressways onto surface streets that were also closed.

My read...manufactured chaos designed for two reasons. First to blame low turnout at the "celebration". Second, so he could take credit for all the traffic trying to get to the celebration.

Both bullshit.

Lots of local conversation last couple days of people signing up for tickets with no intention of going just to eat up the tickets. Remember, we are in Hamilton county and we're blue on blue Arron's here.

Not sure if it is true in other cities but we have no seating in large arenas without assigned seating. That's a legacy of the 12/3/79 Who concert tragedy. There are also a lot of laws about congregating or protesting in the arena plaza area since that's where the deaths occurred.

Who knows if it was planned but I've still got friends trying to get home.

And we got goddamned Nancy Pelosi again with nobody to head-up the DNC.

We better hope that someone steps to challenge him and soon

He just announced Def Sec nom Gen MadDog Mattis as the second coming of Geo S Patton and the crowd of 18,000 is going nuts
