The early arrival at the fairgrounds was Democrat Lincoln Chafee, who strolled the main pathway greeting voters before 9 a.m.

Also on Friday, Clinton won endorsements from former Iowa Sen.

“The last thing you will want to be is a parent pushing a stroller down the concourse on Saturday”, Strawn said.

“I’m sure I will at some point, but so far you have to say it hasn’t worked out badly, right”, said Trump, alluding to numerous polls that have him at the top of the crowded field.
