In 2008,Sarah Palin attracted a crowd of 60,000 in Florida.

Which is why today we refer to her as Ex Vice President Palin. As the media gushes over Trump's crowd size,don't expect them to tell you that they've seen this show before and that it didn't end well.This would disrupt their 24 hour a day news circus.Trump is 100 times better known to the public than Palin was at that time too,my guess is that the Trump/Palin audience is one and the same.

that so many turned out to see her. I either never knew it or I blocked it out of my memory.

But you make a great point. Thanks.

Then she and her dysfunctional snowbilly family circus turned out to be a walking, grifting train wreck of idiocy and they moved on.

Here is what we have learned with Trump:

The right of America is insane and deadly.

Anyone who would do anything that results in the right taking power, is guilty of the deadly results that will follow.

ANYONE

And even though it was in Florida, only a handful of them were concealed carrying.
