Politics Invades the Rose Parade: 'America is Great! Trump is...

Not long after the 127th Tournament of Roses Parade kicked off in Pasadena, California, politics popped up in the annual event leading up to Friday night's Rose Bowl game between Iowa and Stanford.

First, following the last of the forty-two official floats in the parade, Bernie Sanders supporters marched down the street carrying signs and pulling a small float encouraging people to "Feel The Bern."

There was also an anti-Trump message in the skies above the parade route. A plane wrote, "America is great! Donald Trump is disgusting."

That bit of political opinion was followed up with another message appearing to take credit for the skywriting while directing people to the website www.anybodybuttrump.us.
