....I could not help myself and had to go to see Hillary Clinton....I probably will never ever have that chance in my life (not that this bugs me, but....)
It was really an interesting experience, but honestly: I would have expected more people to come (even tough people had lined up at 4pm already)....maybe I have a wrong perception but she is running for to be the most powerful politician in the whole world (that's at least what they say over the big pond!)
It was funny, because the side I was sitting on had college students on the right side, older people in the middle and traditional democrats to the left....so whenever somebody tried to engage a "wave" for Hillary it would be strong to he right side, die right in the middle and ebb a little bit at the left side.
The only thing that spoiled it a little bit for me was that I was reading too much about American values lately, so whenever she said something about hard work and rolling up your sleeves and family&faith etc., the bells in my head started ringing...I could hardly concentrate with all that noise!
Overall I think it wasn't too bad, she tried to customize her speech to the situation in Indiana, added personal and individual stories, covered the most important political issues (sometimes lacking how she wants to achieve what she claims....but that's not unusual in a political rally)
For me as an international student it was definitely worth seeing.
