Are Y'all fixin? As in "fixin" to get excited for Donald Trump tonight?
Tonight will be @ the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington, VT.
I will post other live threads if they superior to this one. For example, we've noticed that Fox News of Phoenix sometimes stream the Trump Rallys at:

Here's a little background of this historic place.
HISTORY OF THE FLYNN
The Flynn has been at the center of Vermont's cultural landscape for almost 80 years—from its earliest days as a vaudeville house through five decades as a premier movie theater to its present incarnation as the region's leading performance center and arts education organization. Today, the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts is recognized internationally for its significant artistic, educational, and community outreach activities; superb technical capacity; beautiful ambiance; historic setting; and world-class presentations.
As we approach the Flynn's 30th anniversary as a performing arts center and 80th anniversary as an historic theater, we celebrate a rich legacy of connecting our community with the arts.
THE BIRTH OF AN ENTERTAINMENT
It was the time of the Great Depression and the country was trying to rebound from the stock market crash of 1929. The presence of the University of Vermont and active textile and lumber industries buffered Burlington somewhat from the ravages of precipitous economic decline. "Bootleggers" scoffed at Prohibition. The face of George Washington was unveiled on Mount Rushmore. The Graf Zeppelin took to the air. Hamburger was 35 cents a pound, an entire steak dinner cost just $1.25, and Ford's new Deluxe Coupe could be driven out of the showroom for $545.

One last comment.
This is Bernie Sanders country. Why the Trump Team picked this place is beyond me. It's been reported, in some publications, that the organizers were worried his crowd would scoop up all the tickets. Whether this is true or not, I personally wouldn't know, but fact is the Trump Team has offered up to 20,000 tickets on line to an event that will hold approximately 1400 people. This seems a bit absurd, and may cause a problem for the neighborhood.
It's already posing a problem for the local police force who are committed to having an orderly and safe show.
I've noticed also in the local news that some of the artists who have performed at the Flynn have asked that theater cancel the event, because they consider Donald Trump's Rally has a forum for "hate speech," but the Directors of theater refused.
Let's pray that there are no serious injuries tonight.
Here are some excerpts from the Burlington Free Press:
Vermonters who plan to see Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speak on Thursday should prepare for "airport-like" security and sizable crowds after the campaign issued tickets for more than 10 times the number of available seats, the Flynn Center's executive director says.
“We’ve been working with the Secret Service very carefully along with the Burlington Police Department,†said John Killacky, whose 1,400-seat theater is playing host to Trump's evening speech.
Outside the venue, city officials are concerned after learning the Trump campaign issued far more free tickets than there are available seats. As of midday Wednesday, police said the campaign had distributed about 20,000.
“I wonder if the Trump campaign took into account the safety of the police officers who have to contend with large, dissatisfied crowds,†Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo said. “This situation would place police officers in needless confrontations with citizenry.â€
The crowd will be huge! I hope Trump is at least his usual 30 minutes late because I want his event to overlap Obuma’s staged gun grabber town hall that starts at 8pm eastern.
I love Donald Trump!!! He is one shrewd fella!!! He goes wherever his enemies are...let’s them make buffoons out of themselves, and gains hundreds of thousands of new, supporting “Trump” voters. Of course, the “Bernie” morons just don’t get it. Their guy, bumbliing Mr. Sanders, is a 100% whimp...when he gave away his microphone to the Black Lives Matter, Obamabot vermin (Bernie, the man with no backbone)!!! Folks for “Bernie”....dumb & dumber!!! GO DONALD TRUMP!!!
And....as a sidebar...CNN is hosting the Obama town meeting on Obama’s gun control farce, tonight a eight o’clock!!! Of couse no one but, the few Obamabot nutcases and a few CNN reporters will be watching this failed charade!!!
Good thought....but....no one with half a brain will be watching the Obama “gun” town meeting!!! Only the low life Obamabot vermin media will be there to try and gloss over this total loser “Lame Duck: “Failed POTUS” Kenyan, Muslim, America destroyer & hater, Barack Hussein Obama!!! LMAO!!!
Decided on the Flounder over a bed of curry spiced risotto.
Oh, my heavens...
You know what might be fun? Is if at every rally, Trump took one mainstream national paper and one local paper, and just read the headlines and mocked the journolisters! Get the audience’s reaction based on the headlines or give up some choice bits from the articles. It would comfort the crowds to see they are not alone and it would send a message to MSM that their work is going to be held up and possibly laughed at.
The anti-American Obama town hall meetikng on CNN will not be watched by me. No interest.
meeting..

In Burlington, people are apparently being asked at the door if they are Trump supporters. If they say “no,” they’re being escorted away.
Looking at all the youth in that picture Trump is empowering them to take on the liberals. He is showing them he cares and he is supportive. Many of Berns supporters may be just democrats fed up with their party. Trump may find them ripe for picking
Liberal’s lie
Will the Won cry tonight?
Is there any raw onion juice or Vick’s Vapo Rub around? Then, yes.
He will cry because no one with half a brain will be tuned in to this farce. The “WON” is the real cause of the problem. Under his watch and guidance, many innocents were slaughtered...and he stood by and did nothing for eight years. Bottom line “the Won” is both turncoat & traitor to the USA Republic!!! Obama...the phoney low life POTUS!!!
October Surprise â€@roboticpressure 3m3 minutes ago
People are mad that hecklers have been turned away from the trump rally in #Burlington as if they have been oppressed.
No need he can just look at Trump’s great and huuuge support and shed a legit tear.
I could not get the Fox10 Phoenix to work.
Anyone have a working link for the speech?
Thanks!
