1. That should be interesting

The numbers, I mean. I suspect Beto will get a bigger crowd which should further irritate agentorange.

5. It should be interesting

President Big Baby is speaking at the El Paso County Coliseum, which can hold as much as 11,000 SRO. However, it's in El Paso county (pop 840,410), which is super blue. The republicans of El Paso mostly live in Hudspeth county which has a population of 4408.

Beto's thing is going to start with a march through the city and will end up at the Chalio Acosta Sports Center, which isn't very big but, the speech could be held outside.

There's also the logistics of an executive visit to take into account.

It's weird he's going to El Paso. They really, really do not like him there.
