Three observations before I go out the door.

I am certain of three things:

The Democrats are trying to manage expectations about today’s DC demonstration by coming up with a number of ‘expected’ protesters that is far above actual expectations;
The media will play along;
It won’t actually work.

But you can blame it on me, if 2 million don’t show up. My wife has made some few comments about how nice it would be to see my face during daylight hours, for a change.

have duties that don’t allow us to do what you’re doing but you can bet for each one of you in D.C. there will be at least 10 more at home cheering you on.

To everyone attending a rally anywhere....... Please be careful.

There are people who will be among the crowds around the nation and especially in Washington DC, placed there deliberately to disrupt and incite.

Understand this very clearly: ANY incidents and confrontations will be magnified exponentially by the media and the left who truly want problems to occur……..

…… And it is a definite possibility that those on the left will be the ones to intentionally start problems, possibly coordinated with the knowledge and assistance of their own officials…… while at least one ‘news’ organization will ‘just happen’ to be in perfect position to capture video and audio of exactly and only what they want to project to the world.

Along with all that, if you are asked for an interview by any media, it’s without question, fair to assume that your words will be twisted and made to seem inciting and dangerous. PLEASE listen to your gut instincts if approached by any media source for comments.

You never want me listening to my gut instincts when approached by the media,

I couldn’t afford the bail.

But I didn’t see any problems. Some of the friendliest, politest and most helpful people I’ve ever gathered with. Whatever the actual attendance number turns out to be, the crowd was as friendly as our small gathering in Atlanta at the beginning of August. And that’s no small feat once you get past 10,000 people.

Crowd estimates up on Malkin - W. O. W.

Michelle’s latest: “12:34pm Eastern: Police estimate 1.2 million in attendance. ABC News reporting crowd at 2 million.

Teeny, tiny fringe, huh?”
