When President Trump and First Lady Melania walked onto the Superdome field before the LSU v. Clemson national championship college football game, the students and alumni erupted in raucous applause and cheers. Within minutes Leftists on Twitter and elsewhere had several theories to prove why it never happened. After all, college-educated Americans couldn’t possibly be glad to see Trump.

Well said, Scott.
I had a co-worker in the 90s who got the opportunity to go to some high end event where then POTUS Bill Clinton was going to be. Though not a fan, he went. Because, as he said, when the hell am I going to get another chance to shake hands with POTUS.
When he came back, he said it was a surreal experience. Also said for that 15 seconds, Bill made him feel like he was the only other person in the room.
I don’t think I can post what he had to say about Hilary. 😉
I think it is telling when these chants break out in the presence of the President that you don’t hear Bush Bush Bush or Trump Trump or MAGA MAGA or anything else related to the man, but USA instead, chanting and cheering the country even more than the office that represents it on the world stage (or world boardrooms, smoky and dark as they are).
The USA chants probably do not predate Bush 43 so Billy J wouldn’t have received them anyway (though likely he wouldn’t have anyway) and I’m hard pressed to remember similar chanting at events headlined by the President in between the two that commonly elict them.
I was fortunate to have seen President Reagan twice. The first time was at a very somber occasion when He greeted the remains of the 101 Airborne at Dover AFB. in 1986 after their crash in Gander, Canada. His speech brought tears to all of our eyes standing at attention there on the runway. The second was at Bethesda Medical Center, MD. I got to see him as he waved from his hospital window. I was a very fortunate Airman to have served when he was the Commander in Chief. My whole 8 years in the Air Force was serving under that great President. I was truly blessed.
I had been a Reagan supporter since 1968, sometime in the second Reagan administration I was walking at lunch in Manhattan on a day when he was scheduled to speak at the UN. As a friend an I were crossing 2nd Ave at 42nd St we saw a group of motorcycles and flashing lights approaching, we thought ‘Could this be….?’The two of us were the only people standing in the middle of the avenue when the motorcade turned east on 42nd , as his limo turned he glanced out the window and waved right at me , eye to eye. I only got my arm half way up to wave back, I was in shock, I welled up, a grown man. I think I’m doing it again.
I’m a Mizzou alum (back before it became the SJW bastion it is today. Steven mentioned Prof. Hardy. I also was able to have Prof. Hardy for Poli-Sci and he was my favorite professor at Mizzou. I’m pretty sure he was the only one I had in my time there that wasn’t a flaming Marxist.
I’m half expecting CNN to have “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase in studio to label those fans a bunch of “Vile, Stupid, Illiterate, HICKS!!! – HAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!”
Wow, Scott. I had the same reaction yesterday when I watch the entire video of our President and Melania on the field. I had tears running down my cheeks and I didn’t even know it. I was bursting with pride. And so happy.
Mr. Whittle, the ticket price for the Game was probably north of $1500, and I’m betting the average age was probably in the 30’s somewhere… almost time enough to beat the stupid out of them. Not sure you’d get and as enthusiastic response were it all college kids. Still a wonderful narrative-breaking show of support!
I couldn’t agree more, John. Scott pointed out that both Louisiana and South Carolina were carried by Trump by huge margins, and your agrument about the ticket price is also dead-on. But as you conclude, it’s a narrative-breaker. Now they can’t claim that all the smart people hate Trump. Now it’s most of them hate Trump, and that’s an important win.
The claim will be that making enough money to afford a ticket does not equal being smart. Only the ELITES are really smart.
In fact, this will just go down the memory hole as if it never happened.
