It’s the anti- anti-Trump crowd.

Dozens of supporters are waiting outside a conference center in Westminster, waiting to see Hillary Clinton and, so far, not an egg has been tossed or a pinata decapitated in effigy.

Unlike rallys for Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, which sparked clashes involving Trump supporters and anti-Trump protesters, the mood outside the Westminster Rose Center – where Clinton is slated to speak at 1:45 p.m. – is tame.

Dressed head to toe in navy colored “Hillary 4 president” gear, Helen Evers brought a life size cardboard cut-out of Clinton that she received last month as a birthday present.

“I desperately want to meet her,” said Evers, 70, of Costa Mesa, as she wore socks that had “HILLARY” on it.

“She’s the best thing we got going for us.”

Debra McKee, 53, and her family came from Aliso Viejo to hear Clinton. She arrived at 9 a.m. and was among the first ones in line.

“I feel like this is my election. I’ve been waiting for a female president,” McKee said as she carried a sign that read “Today is my birthday and all I want is a picture with the next POTUS.”

The hastily scheduled event, which figures to host about 500 people, comes with polls showing the Democratic side of the California presidential primary virtually tied – even as the national math shows Clinton to be a lock for the nomination. After she speaks at the Rose Center (1410 All American Way, Westminster), she’ll speak at a private get-together at Crave restaurant in Santa Ana and separate stops in Culver City and San Bernardino.

Westminster police have called in additional officers to support Secret Service security efforts during the Rose Center event, Westminster Police spokesman Sgt. Eddie Esqueda said.

There will be road closures around the event beginning at 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., Esqueda said.

All American Way will be closed to vehicle traffic between Westminster Boulevard and 13th Street.

15th Street will also be closed at All American Way, Esqueda said.

In Santa Ana, 4th Street will be closed between Ross Street and Birch Street from noon to 5 p.m., Santa Ana Police spokesman Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.

Santa Ana police will also be making additional officers available to support Secret Service security efforts and traffic enforcement.

The appearances announced late Thursday night come as Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders are neck and neck, each with about 43 percent of registered voters in recent polls.

But the appearances in California aren’t totally about numbers or even the primary itself. National media attention in California is becoming a key factor in the national race. On Thursday, Clinton used a foreign policy speech in San Diego to specifically target GOP front runner Donald Trump, saying his contradictory and changing foreign policy positions are reasons why he should not be making decisions in the Oval Office.

It’s unclear what topics Clinton will cover in Orange County today.
