Searchlight, with it’s wide open spaces, was able to find a venue for the large crowd. Wilkesboro is apparently having difficulty doing so. I’m sure they’ll find a way, though. I don’t think they will cancel the event.

She has made it really clear that she will run, but those that have PDS will continue to grasp at straws in the wind.

She made it clear that she is running, but no formal statement can be made because it would affect her ability to appear on TV programs.

Some people are slow on the uptake.

Yeah, they're gonna need a bigger stadium.

But what this means for the country is even more important.

America is alive and kicking. We're gonna win!
