Phoenix on high alert for Trump rally

Political leaders and law enforcement officials in Arizona are on high alert ahead of President Trump’s campaign rally Tuesday night in Phoenix.

The big question is whether there will be more supporters of Trump inside the Phoenix Convention Center, which holds 29,000, or protestors outside.

Trump’s response to the violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., has become the biggest controversy to date of his presidency.

The Phoenix rally, as a result, has become an opportunity for Trump’s opponents to show their force.
Some GOP leaders, such as Gov. Doug Ducey, are steering clear of the rally entirely.

the whole thing, inside and outside, is empty except for the paid Trump supporters. Reporters can interview them and ask how much they were paid.

I have my two tickets to "nowhere"! Lol!

I can't protest physically tonight so it's next best thing I could...although I like the idea of paid attendees who really do not support Trump!! That would be great!

which the narcissist interprets as support, and maybe rediscover the catcall. You get enough people doing that loud hiss, there is no way to mistake it for encouragement. It used to mean the stage manager was bringing out the hook. It should mean the same now.
