Lloyd Marcus, live from Trump rally in Daytona Beach

A local Trump campaign coordinator and longtime friend, Tony Ledbetter, called to offer me VIP tickets to the Trump rally at the Ocean Convention Center in Daytona Beach, FL. Tony's follow up email gave directions to the designated VIP parking lot. His email also said the doors opened at 9am for the 3pm rally. I thought, Mary and I will arrive around 2pm. Boy, was that a mistake. Folks, I have not seen anything like it. Streets leading to the convention center's numerous parking lots were blocked-off with orange cones and orange vested personnel instructing cars to move on. Mary and I finally found a place to park five blocks away. As we walked back to the convention center in the sunny humid over 90 degrees Florida heat, we saw mobs of people with Trump signs doing the same, coming from all directions.
