Day 4 - 2/20

 

This morning we heard from Professor Scott Huffman who runs the Winthrop poll. His presentation was very interesting and he taught us about priming, framing, and word choice and how all of these can affect a respondent's opinion. 
After, we headed straight to Greenville, SC to get in line for Trump's Town Hall with Fox 
News and Laura Ingraham. This event was so cool, and much bigger than the one we watched fro Nikki Haley. It was extremely exciting to see Former President Donald Trump as well as his secret service detail. I have never been in the same room with someone so famous before so this was a great opportunity for me, even though we didn't get to meet him.

Day 3 - 2/19

  This morning we got to talk to AP national Reporter Meg Kinnard. I really enjoyed her attitude towards her work and her authenticity to the Associated Press' brand. She was very insightful and offered us a lot of information.  After we were able to go to the SCDP headquarters and talk with the Executive Director, Jay, and Chairwoman, Christie Splain. They talked about why the democratic arty chose South Carolina to go first in their nomination process and what they do in their positions.

Day 7 - 2/23

  Today we got to go to a Trump rally in Rock Hill, SC. We got there super early to help park cars and guide people to their seats. Everyone was so nice and the event was so much fun, it felt like a concert! Since we got there early and volunteered, we were able to secure seats right in the front! Valeria and I also made it onto Trump's instagram.  Completely unrelated but this SWAT truck was very cool and the officer was awesome! It was cool to see all the security measures taken to ensure everyone's safety during this event.

Then we needed to write the answer and the students name - their last name.
