"Rubio held the first of four events Sunday across the Old Dominion. The officers directing cars and
pedestrians trying to make it into the rally seemed overwhelmed. I asked one officer how many people were here for the rally.
"They told us 3,000," he said, sounding annoyed. "It's gonna be a lot more than that."
The audience was energized, with members periodically shouting out cheers like "Viva Rubio!" and "Never Trump!" No political event this year has matched the excitement of a Donald Trump rally, but this Rubio event came close. Rubio's performance was funny, exciting, and emotional.
At one point, a pair of protesters behind the stage held up signs that read "Rubio is an empty suit." As the crowd booed and one overzealous Rubio supporter tried to rip one of the men's signs, the candidate laughed it off. He opened his suit jacket to look inside. "My suit wasn't made in China," he deadpanned. "It's not a Trump suit!"
As the protesters continued to shout, and before they were escorted out, Rubio kept going. "Ladies and gentlemen, the valedictorian of Trump University!" he said to loud cheers and laughter." WeeklyStandard
