Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton had their first presidential debate on Sept. 26th 2016, at Hofstra University in New York. Many stages and tents where set up all around campus for the students and debate guests to attend. CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and other mainstream media stations had stages, lights and cameras set up to be hosting live coverage of this exciting event.
80-100 million people where predicted to be watching this event, this is like the superbowl of politics.
This was my moment to shine.
A couple of stations where broadcasting live with reporters discussing politics with a countdown to the debate. I didnt know who was reporting at the time; although, i just needed to get my message on Live TV.
It was kind of a last minute thing. I knew the debate was happening and that streets would be closed. My job was closing at 12pm in the afternoon due to the street closures ( i work near campus ). Im still enrolled as a student so im entitled to attend the event and heard some friends where going. I had close to 8 hours to get the poster made, and i did it with time to spare.
Going between 3 different Staples stores miles apart, just to get the poster printed out, i was able to assemble my message.
"Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!"
My bitcoin wallet QR code and this quote where printed on my poster and was confident i would make it on tv.
I didnt care about the money, just wanted it on live television and for people to see bitcoin involved in an event so widely watched.
The only coverage i found on youtube was from MSNBC's "Mike Pence Outlines Donald Trumpts Strategy". 0:30 & 1:24 is where my light of fame happens for just a few seconds.
It was difficult to get it in there as the other supporters where trying their best to put their sign infront of mine. Heres my address linked to the QR code as it is hard to scan in the MSNBC video.
