We don't go anymore because of age, but the percentage of people who would come to trump would be well below 1%.

There are carnivals, livestock, talent contests and all sorts of food and plant judging.

Don't know if he spoke at the Des Moines Register's Soap Box. If he did I can't imagine he would draw more than 100 to 150.

Plus he had to share the bull shit and pig shit with a lot of real, natural producers.
