RNC
GOP
WTF
The crowd in Winston-Salem NC was energized. Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama were a wondrous team to witness.
There was no heckling, no demonstrating.
I saw ONE person with a TRUMP shirt. About 28 / male / strong / handsome.
I said to him: Are there more of you? he smiled and said I hope so. I smiled back I dont, but welcome anyway.
And Deborah Ross, our hope for a new Senator to unseat Richard Burr

I'd love to see Hillary carry NC.

Went home and watched "Michael Moore in Trumpland" (itune) one more time

I watched Trumpland and was in awe of Moore's skill in holding such a diverse crowd in the palm of his hand.

(113,013 posts)I've been posting threads urging blue state DUers to donate to Deborah Ross's senate campaign. Her win would mean a Democratic majority in Senate.
GOPs are working overtime now to protect Burr.

(31,374 posts)I went to see Michelle when she came to Chapel Hill four years ago. She's really dynamite in person.
My youngest son--the grad student at Yale--flew home today for Halloween weekend and on the way home from picking him up at the airport we stopped
to early vote! He was going to send an absentee ballot but decided since he was making the surprise trip he'd vote in person.
Two more ballots for Hillary, Cooper, and Ross today.

(22,380 posts)I signed up for many hours of working at the early polling places in the next few days. I myself have this weird MO of wanting to vote on the actual day, and if sick, I would just crawl there.
Just between us, Hillary had thunderous applause. But every single time when it was appropriate, our first lady had applause that was thunder squared.
She is one loved human being.
I had a few black women behind me and they thought they were in church. I have their loud and loving comments, and "amens" on my videos, and love having caught that. But I don't know how to post a video.

(22,380 posts)The secret service detail came in at one point before the dignitaries entry in large numbers. The ones you see are the super trained ones who look like normal people. LOL. The ones I'm referring to have vests that say "Secret Service", are visibly heavily armed and line the stairways as if we were at a Nation of Islam gathering.
I was so taken aback, and so very grateful at the same time.
Real is real, and this is America.

(36,247 posts)Ross looked like she was really climbing in the polls up until then.

They couldn't be farther from the truth.
