My wife and I went to the MN State Fair

[MineralMan]

this morning. We walked by the Donald Trump booth there. Standing on the sidewalk in front of it was a group of about a dozen people wearing t-shirts that said, "We Have Brains and We Vote!," carrying signs about rights for people with disabilities. The Trump booth folks did not look very happy about that, and the group was handing out flyers.

Sorry, Donny. Minnesota doesn't like you very much...

1. This makes me smile

[MineralMan]

2. It made us smile, too.

We stopped and talked to one of the people, and took their flyer. The Trumpsters were all standing there glaring at these folks. They weren't blocking access in any way, but there they were, and more people were talking to them than going into the Trump booth.

Good for them, I say! First Amendment rights belong to everyone.

3. We couldn't find the GOP at the IA state fair.

But we found the Democrats!

Unfortunately, directly across from the Dems was a huge Baptist church booth promoting creationism.

4. Were there any candidates at the DFL pavilion today?

[MineralMan]

7. Not that I saw today.

I did watch Governor Dayton speak about water quality an other conservation issues at the DNR fish pond. I stopped in at Any Klobuchar's booth though briefly. Both she and Al Franken have been at the fair a lot.

9. Thanks

We're going to the fair on Sunday, but I don't expect to see anyone, since it's near the end of the fair

5. I saw a Trump booth at a street fair here

Looks like people were keeping their distance. Even heard some snickers.

6. I absolutely loved the MN State Fair...

...Fried Cheese Curds and EVERYTHING on a Stick!

8. GOP only ones at my county fair. The Trump signs hanging

over the cattle made me sick. I stayed only 90 minutes.

11. "Hanging over the cattle"

in an area with lots of bullshit.

Seems appropriate.

[Beartracks]

12. Bet it's the same in Oklahoma.

They seem to think of him like a winning football coach around here.

13. My wife got a pic with Barack and Hillary at the Illinois state fair

They were cardboard of course. So I texted it to my mom under the title "look who we met at the state fair." She was so excited and started firing all these questions about the meeting. I told her we were just as shocked as anyone when we came across them together in the dairy goat barn...

BTW did you see Garrison's last show there?

[SnowCritter]

14. I'm hoping to make it there this year

but my wife doesn't really care for the crowds.

Ah, well.

[forest444]

15. Ha!

Reminds me of the Bush-Cheney booth at UCI in '04. People would walk by and pick up flyers so they could scrunch them up and throw it back at them. The two cross-eyed robots behind the table looked befuddled.

16. K&R

my son lives there.
