He said that Democrats had pissed God off when they removed the works from the platform. Also he claimed we turned our back on Israel and Jerusalam. I told him to go to Hell. He responded that lighting would have struck the stage.

Its better that it was moved indoors. Nobody gets hit by rain or lightning. Indoors its a packed house.

We have enough supports to fill it.

I wish they would keep it planned and IF it rains then move it indoors, or something.

It would certainly shut up the Repubs who think they know what is going on but aren't on the ground.
