Trump also paid tribute to the Pensacola-based Blue Angels flight demonstration team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will ensure the Blue Angels continue to inspire. I love those guys, I love the Blue Angels,\u201d he said to extended applause from the crowd.<\/p>\n
In another local reference, Trump said he would make sure the aging Pensacola Bay Bridge between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze is replaced.<\/p>\n
Trump got louder applause when he suggested his Pensacola supporters might be happier about building the wall on the Mexican border.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
It was the second time Chuck and Robin Woske of Pensacola attended a Trump rally.\u00a0 The couple previously attended a Trump rally in January at the Bay Center.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he was better this time. He sounds more presidential and I really liked that he mentioned the Blue Angels and even the 3-mile (Pensacola Bay) bridge,\u201d Robin Woske said.<\/p>\n
Her husband agreed.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe still had a lot of energy, but he sounded more polished and more measured,\u201d Chuck Woske said.<\/p>\n
Misty and Julius Myrick of Milton and their five children, ages 5 through 15, were among the first people through the gates when the rally opened at 4.<\/p>\n
Julius, an experienced construction worker who is looking for work, said the Obama years have not been good for his family.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really like Trump. I believe he is going to do exactly what he says. I feel like he is going to do what is best for the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Misty Myrick, who held a pink\u00a0\u201cWomen for Trump\u201d sign, said she was not concerned about controversial comments Trump has made about women.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe doesn\u2019t bother me. He says things that everyone says,\u201d said the stay-at-home mom.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of Trump supporters began to fill the open-air amphitheater just after 5 p.m.<\/p>\n
Tim and Kim Barnett wore matching \u201cDeplorables For Trump” T-shirts. The Summerdale, Alabama, couple said they made the 45-minute drive to see Trump in Pensacola because they wanted to see the Republican candidate in person.<\/p>\n
Tim Barnett said he felt Clinton was talking about working-class people like him when she made her \u201cbasket of deplorables\u201d comment about Trump supporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is snooty and elite,\u201d said Barnett, a self-employed drywall contractor.<\/p>\n
Many in the crowd wore \u201cMake American Great Again\u201d T-shirts and hats. Other Trump supporters carried \u201cHilary for Prison\u201d signs.<\/p>\n
Trump told the crowd he would reform a corrupt system in Washington through term limits and by banning foreign lobbyists from raising money in American elections.<\/p>\n
Trump also said he would get rid of the Obamacare health plan and eliminate trade agreements he said are failing.<\/p>\n
\u201cHillary is the candidate of yesterday. We are the movement of tomorrow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s Pensacola rally followed earlier rallies in Miami and Orlando. He was scheduled to be in Jacksonville early Thursday before heading to Pennsylvania and North Carolina.<\/p>\n
