The first in line were \nKeith Quackenbush, 54, and Bill Hart, 46, co-workers at a retail giant \nin Pensacola, Fla.</p><p>\u201cI\u2019m telling you, everyone who is a worker at \nour store, they\u2019re excited about Trump,\u201d Quackenbush said. \u201cI don\u2019t care\n what race or gender, whatever age \u2014 they love Trump. This is a \nmovement.\u201d</p></blockquote><p>\u2013 \u2013 \u2013<br/></p><blockquote><p>But none have put on a show like Trump. Friday night resembled \nsomething between a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert and the Daytona 500. People \ncame to see a celebrity, Trump, but also to hear his fiery call to \nrevolutionize the nation\u2019s politics. Many attendees said they had never \nattended a presidential campaign event.</p><p>Cheryl\n Burns, 60, was on a road trip from California when she heard that Trump\n would be in Alabama. She turned her car around and got in line, warning\n people of what happened to states when liberals took them over.</p><p>\u201cThere\n is no more California,\u201d Burns said. \u201cIt\u2019s now international, lawless \nterritory. Everything is up for grabs. Illegal aliens are murdering \npeople there. People are being raped. Trump isn\u2019t lying about anything \u2014\n the rest of the country just hasn\u2019t found out yet.\u201d</p><p>As the sun \nbegan to set, the sweaty throngs in the stadium snapped their heads \ntoward the sky as the roar of a jet engine pierced the air. Here it was,\n gliding toward them above the Friday night lights: a gleaming Boeing \n757 with \u201cT-R-U-M-P\u201d stretched across its navy blue body, circling twice\n and dipping its wing toward the sloped stadium bleachers.</p><p>The \ncrowd roared its approval to Trump as his jet tilted away to land at a \nnearby airport. Minutes later, he was whisked in a caravan of SUVs past \nsleepy neighborhoods and the shipyard-lined coast of the Deep South to \nthe surreal political festival.</p><p>\u201cThis is \nhistory happening right before our eyes,\u201d said Laura Teague of Mobile, \none of the few black attendees at the rally. \u201cI\u2019m going to help Trump \nmake history.\u201d</p></blockquote><p><i> <b>March 13</b> - The Tyrant is now at Lyon.
