(253 posts)I was there--the crowd outside wrapped around the building and up and down the street. I was close to the stage, but glad to see by these pics there was an overflow group and that they got to see the candidates and the President! Don Jr....I'll be THAT was inspiring!🙄

I would take him back in a heartbeat.

(5,816 posts)Behavior. He clearly knows the proper way to comport himself. It comes from a place within that has high regard for others. tRump does not have that core to drawn from. President Obama truly is the kind of person you want for a neighbor, a brother and yes, President.

(8,124 posts)I've had horrible things happen. and I've had great things happen....like most of us, right? One of things I count as great in my 61 years on Planet Earth is the fact that I was alive while this man was President. I was and am so incredibly moved by him. I'm such a geek but sometimes when I want to feel better, I'll YouTube some of his speeches and appearances. I really love him - as a President, as a human being, and as one of the greatest sources of inspiration in my life.

(3,335 posts)of demand to hear the former Pres. The crowd size proves that. If cable tv can carry every one of Trump's rehashed bullshit rally's in prime time, than certainly we ought not have to watch the former President on Utube.

(86,040 posts)...I don't expect them to follow all of the appearances by the former president.
I would guess there were some local feeds that covered it live.

(3,335 posts)I record all the shows starting with Morning Joe and ending with The 11th Hour With Brian Williams just in case I miss something during the day. So when I saw your post, I started searching through the daily shows looking for his appearance because the Utube versions sound was terrible, and I couldn't find it. Now mind you, I don't get to watch every show, every day; I just leave my TV on that channel and record all of them on my DVR because you only have to program it once to record every show, every day and I have them available to listen to during the day when I'm home doing work around the house, and I try not to miss the evening line up.
