Told this story before but on the way out of a Trump rally in Murphysboro Illinois, we stopped at the local McDonalds to use the restroom and there were dozens and dozens of people from the rally there. A guy with a signed MAGA hat was getting a lot of attention. I stopped to talk to him and he told me that he had cancer and no insurance and Trump paid for his Chemo and other care. He was fully recovered. Had a picture on his phone of himself and his buddy, a lawyer, in the Oval Office with our favorite and only GEOTUS. Trump helped him BEFORE he was running for president but he kept in touch from time to time and invited him to the White House. I don't remember how this guy's plight came to Trump's attention, but it was such an amazing story to top a really high energy night. I've only been to one rally but wow the energy is almost indescribable.
Not as significant but still telling, when Trump spoke at the rally he basically said, "I'm never going to win Illinois probably but I wanted you all know I won't forget about you (or something like that). He also said that he felt obligated to the local guy running (I don't remember that either) who was per Trump "a good man." He can clearly be a pretty tough customer if you are on his bad side, but he is not superficial. Interesting bird to say the least.
