This was from Thursday nite at the American Foreign Legion Hall in Londonderry, NH. Traveled down and was a bit surprised at how many people were attending – parking was off-site (down the road a bit at the athletic field complex) due to the small parking lot. However, the police (multiple cars and a K-9) allowed me to unload as long as I moved right afterward; I complied and thanked them for allowing me to do so. And I was warmly greeted by the staff and I went to set up.
Set up my traveling recorder on the press/video riser and then tried to set up my MEVO cameras on either side of the stage as I normally do. That didn’t last long – I was told that the fire marshall nixed that. So, the only angle is from the riser (not that tall) with lots of people in front of the stage. I was surprised at the size of the crowd.
Anyways, here are the three clips – the “obligatory” intro ceremonies that are always a part of a Republican gathering (Invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance – are those even a “thing” at Democrat events? If you are from the Left reading this, can you let us know?) and then mostly Ted Cruz. I will tell you that he was in rare form – he is naturally funny and loves to “turn a phrase” but he took it to a new level since I last saw him (GraniteGrok endorsed him in the Primary that Trump eventually won). Either he HAS worked on his comedic side or he’s hired a better crew of comedy writers – and his timing was quite good (it seems he’s had a lot of practice). One thing is true, though, he knows the issues and uses that comedian touch to get his points across.
And lest I forget, his entire purpose for being in NH was to endorse, as GraniteGrok has done, Karoline Leavitt for US Congress in NH’s First Congressional District. My hope is that she’ll turn out to be similar – hated by the Establishment but loved by the Conservative / Liberty & Freedom wing of the Republican Party.
