I think crowd in DC on the fourth may be larger than some here are predicting [View all]

It certainly will fall short of whatever "massive" number Trump claims, but it likely will be a sizable crowd notwithstanding everything. I say this based on the fact that I just flew back to DC from Milwaukee and the airport was very, very crowded and quite a few of those in the arrival and baggage claim areas, coming in not only from Milwaukee, but also from Chicago, Kansas City, and New Orleans, were decked out in red, white and blue -themed shirts and hats many specifically referencing the 250th anniversary (and even a "Turning Point" shirt.

Hope I'm wrong, but I've been flying in and out of National Airport for decades and it was definitely more crowded than an average Thursday.
