“
They knew it was coming because they broke away to show that area many times too far in advance”
Good point. We watched the speeches on C-Span. They panned over there a couple of times and we wondered why they were even showing the sign-bearer. At least he was quiet, but I still wonder why he wasn’t taken out.
They kept breaking away to other areas with no signs or anything going on. It was very strange until you later saw what they were waiting for.
