Thanks ever so much for the link. When I was young this old lady vowed never to become like her parents when she got old, where she didn't keep up with all the new actors and actresses. Alas, the best laid plans of mice and women...

In defense of myself, though, I spotted his talent right away: he sure stood out as a very special maniac when I first noticed him in that movie last night.

Substantial part of the audience was rounded up by Kelli Ward who is primarying Trump enemy Sen. Jeff Flake, according to Politico:

Prior to taking the stage, Trump spoke privately with DeWit and former Arizona GOP Chairman Robert Graham, who is also weighing a primary challenge. Joining the group during the backstage conversation, which touched on the Flake primary, was GOP Rep. Trent Franks, according to two people familiar with the conversation.

Trump’s visit to the state is sure to stoke Flake’s political troubles and energize those looking to unseat him. An announced challenger, former state Sen. Kelli Ward, used the event to organize supporters who flooded the convention center. After the speech, Ward greeted backers just outside the exit and proclaimed that the president had given life to the race.

TPM Muckraker reporter Allegra Kirkland tracked him down and got a 30-min phone interview on Friday and also added some interesting details from research

When TPM first reached Symonette on Wednesday to ask how he snags such prominent seats at Trump rallies, he hung up after a few minutes, saying he was rushing over to an event Vice President Pence was holding with Venezuelan immigrants at a church in Miami’s Doral neighborhood.

Reached again on Friday, Symonette insisted in a meandering 30-minute phone call from the porch of his Miami home that he has no formal relationship with the Trump campaign. He said he uses his own funds to travel to campaign and administration events throughout the southeast.

“I just go on my own, that’s it,” Symonette said, adding that he knows plenty of people to “say hi to” but has no ongoing contact with any Trump staffers.

“I don’t know if they’re on the campaign,” he said of the individuals he greets at campaign events. “’Cause when I go there I make it my business to keep on business, cause what I’m really interested in doing is showing that the white man and the black man are in unity. Because the Bible says if we fight, God is going to kill everybody by fire.”

According to Symonette, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Confederate Gen. Albert Pike, president of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis, “almost all of the Confederate army,” the founders of the Ku Klux Klan, and segregationist former Birmingham, Alabama Public Safety Commissioner Bull Connor have one thing in common: they were all “full-blooded Cherokees.”

He views Trump, on the other hand, as a “white gentile” who will impose taxes on the Cherokees and an “emancipator” who will provide economic liberation to blacks and to poor whites.

Symonette has long promoted these same fringey ideas on his radio show, YouTube channel and at tea party events. In 2012, he derailed a Rick Santorum campaign event where he was invited to give an introduction by calling Democrats “Nazis” and “slave masters” in disguise [....]
