13213515, I had 45 right in front of me, could've shaken his hand Posted by j., Fri Nov-17-17 11:17 AM
I passed.
Full disclosure: he wasn't 45 yet. This was in Sept. 15, the primaries had just started he was the clown candidate, remember there were like 15 repug candidates for prez No one took him seriously. He was supposed to drop out after Jeb! won the first couple of primaries.
Anyway I saw him, Ted Cruz, and Palin at the Capitol. I went to this anti- Iran deal rally for work purposes and there he was strutting down the steps to the Capitol lawn
There were mad tea baggers there, anti-45 protesters too that day was hot, muggy, and humid: perfect "swamp" weather So he comes down, no security, no secret service, just a couple of Capitol police officers behind him no metal detectors that day, anyone could literally walk up to stand in front of the podium.
He gets to the lawn and the tea baggers start going apeshit he's waving, shaking hands, etc I inched close and got right in front of him, snapped this pic:

Today, I'll pass again. I'm good.
