What experience from the midterms will you remember five years from now?

I went to a Trump rally, and that was a pretty vivid experience. There were maybe eight or nine thousand people in this big arena in Erie, Pennsylvania. And the press was penned into this thing in the middle, which is normal at these rallies.

But what was so odd to me was that we weren’t allowed to leave the pen on our own. So we weren’t allowed to interview any of the people in the auditorium, and it was sort of unclear why.

The whole thing was weird. People weren’t in any way mean, except when they were jeering and shouting as if we were people in a cage. But afterward, everybody was super nice.

Some of the nice ladies I talked to felt sorry for me because I work for a place that was so full of lies and fake news. And every time I tried to say, well, we actually work really hard, and we try really hard, they just looked sad.
