Waterbury and Bridgeport combined for 1000 votes in the 2012 pres primary. odd location. closed primary.
although turnout will be double this year.

Trump is thinking ahead to Nov.?

‘Bringing the bouncer’ LOL

Every time I think about Connecticut, I can’t help but think of Gladys Taber. Have a few of her books.

LOL! It has that “I’ve got my eye on you” type of look.

I would rather see Ronald Reagan on the currency before Harriet Tubman.

We just had the speech, don't touch or hurt protesters if there are any, that Mr Trump supports 1st amendment (crowd cheers) as much as he supports 2nd amendment (crowd cheers 3x louder!!).

Sosorry. Not in that state. I was commenting on the crossover appeal for the general election.

Great story and glad you spoke up.

Pretty amazing how the sentiment is just simmering under the surface everywhere you go.

Sweet! How nice it would be to see states like Connecticut and New Jersey be competitive for a change.

I work in a union shop, and of course “leadership” endorses Sanders. But I can tell you I get many, many thumbs up from coworkers when they see my Trump bumper sticker.

I'm sure you'll be hearing this a few times. Get her out. Send her home to mommy. Aren't these Trump rallys fun or what.

Never have figured out the point of protesting before the rally starts; would think doing it halfway through would get you more attention. But then, I’m not a professionally trained protester.
