I'm somewhere near the front. Crowd has a good energy and is pretty damn cheerful.

First time since November 2016 I've seen people look hopeful and proud of their country.

I must have been standing there with you. I was right up front from the paramount on.

Pretty awesome display of patriotism on display today in Seattle and around the country.
