2 things for the commenters:
The guy in the above picture must be a real fun guy to hang out with. Bimbo eruptions and Adultery enabler?
The Courier has a poll asking if people are going to vote for Hillary just because she visited Evansville. Anyone that votes yes should lose their right to vote. Sigh.

The guy in the photo was amusing. He was just wandering up and down the line with his signs, saying they were the best signs at the rally. He was trying to engage the crowd but nobody was biting. The one sign says “Operation Chaos” which is right from Limbaugh. So are some of the sayings on the other sign. He looks very familiar to me. I almost asked him if he was Brother Jim Giles who travels college campuses and harangues students. He came to William and Mary when I was there, many more years ago than I want to remember and stood on the commons and shouted at us. The thing I remember most is that all of us jeans wearing women were hussies who were going to hell. His page says he’s from Evansville and live in Kentucky not horribly far away. It could be him, or it could just be some guy who vaguely looks like him.
The Courier and Press was reporting today that everyone in line got in and the only people turned away were the late comers who showed up after the metal detectors were down. However, the word was sent down the line that they were full and not allowing anyone else in so the remainder of the line dispersed. This was a little before 7pm. So yea, no one was turned away at the door, we’d left before hand! A ground of us went to where she would be arriving but just before she got there, they closed the street and sent us all away.

Senator Bayh has been so supportive of me, and I’ve known him for 20 years, and we have traveled to Iraq together, Senator Bayh has worked with me on so many projects, and we both look so young, and Senator Bayh and I, this and that, blah blah blah.
And I want to thank your mayor for letting me visit your town. I hear wonderful things about your leadership mayor. Your mayor is here, thank you so much mayor for all your hard work, mayor.
Nice of her to at least learn the guy’s job title, since a name would be way too much to learn before coming to town and making everyone feel like we matter to her
