This isn't going to end well...

Good live video. Police towed away the car blocking the road to Lynden. A pickup went by flying a Confederate flag and yelling. Trump took a backroad, started speakin 4:00, 7 minutes ago.

Limit the sale to those who haven't showered in a week and smell like patchouli.

so pretty much everybody in Eugene...patchouli oil is republican repellent

That live video put out by the demonstrators blocking the road into Lynden ended. Now I'm listening to Trump on the KGMI website. His voice is shrill. Boy does he speak informally. He's bragging about who has endorsed him, says he's done great with women, with men, jokes who cares about the men. Speaks casually, which is his appeal. Defining landslide, then saying he smashed the definition.

It is. His supporters are going to be wandering around looking for poles and probably get hit by a bus or something.

The Lynden Fair is half an hour from me, plus a half hour to find parking and walk a few blocks, plus standing in line to get in. Then it will be standing room only (the stands hold 5000, and there's a field for about 5000 to stand). I haven't been there for about 15 years, since they raised prices. I used to go to the fair every year in the 80s and sit in those same grandstands (Johnny Cash, Paul Revere & the Raiders, etc.).

His Spokane event starts at Noon, so he won't be in Lynden (15 miles from his arrival at the Bellingham airport) till 2-3 hours after the stated 3 pm time. So everyone will wait for hours. I'm heading out now to McDonalds to buy some French Fries. In Bellingham, not half an hour away in Lynden. You guys tell me what happened in the blogs and TV.

He's yelling about Warren claiming to be 5% Indian, with the only evidence she had being high cheekbones. He's throwing out his voice (I've noticed that about Hillary, too). His voice is getting higher and more shrill as the speech goes on. (Hers gets lower as debates with Bernie go on. He is a natural yeller and doesn't suffer from it.) Now he has some local stats about the WA state economy. Says it's beautiful, like New Hampshire. Now he has national numbers that are standard in his stump speeches. Goes on and on incoherently. Well, not anywhere near as bad as the new Sarah Palin. Now he goes after Bill Clinton. Sex innuendo about Bill being trigger-happy. Now I like what he's saying. He's criticizing the Iraq War. But instantly switches to the Obama administration and its errors. Now he's funny about some stupid story about the US negotiator somewhere (nobody knows what the hell he's talking about, but it's entertaining) broke his leg in a bicycle race and the negotiations stopped for 6 months. He promises he'll never race on a bicycle, waits for humorous cheering and gets it. Now he's yapping about one time the media went after him over something. The whole speech is him patting himself on his back, but I knew that from his TV debates.

Apparently a woman said, I love you, because he said, I love you too, darling. Then continued his speech sentence. Now back after Bill sexually. Says he's a fan of Bernie and agrees the election is rigged. Says even Obama's copying Trump's word, rigged. Hillary's e-mails. Focusing on Hillary. Now says he's no fan of Bernie (he just said he was a fan), but sympathetically says Bernie must hate Hillary. He's trying to divide Democrats. Just keeps talking nonstop. Spends a half-minute telling us to sign our ballots. Don't forget. Mentions he was in Oregon last night. Expects to win both states. Crowd getting bored, so they chant USA, USA. He takes this as he should and ends the speech at 4:49.
