There were over twelve hundred people in the huge Ballroom - All of whom have an outsize influence on who will be the Republican nominee.
Many said they have a genuinely Open Mind about who they will vote for, But there was no shortage of Trump stickers among The Crowd .
There was no fun to be had watching the different candidates interacting with each other. They each had their own backstage suite which they popped out of to deliver their ten-minute speech. They actually didn't have to see each other at All .
According to a FiveThirtyEight opinion polling average, Mr Trump is on 52. 4%, Florida Governor DeSantis on 15. 5% and Everyone Else is under 10% in the Republican race.
Vivek Ramaswamy captured The Room and brought many to a Standing Ovation as he gave a barnstorming Performance - just what he needed to do if he is going to make a break through

Loud boos and rattling cutlery nearly Drowned Out the rest of what he had to Say - with One Man shouting " go home". It was clear he had lost The Room .
Friday's fundraiser comes A Day after new charges were filed against Mr Trump over his alleged mishandling of classified files.
He may soon be charged in Washington with alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. He has denied All allegations against him.

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott , former UN ambassador Nikki Haley and former Vice-President Mike Pence also attended Friday's event.
Chris Christie , the former New Jersey governor, skipped the fundraiser as his campaign focuses on New Hampshire .
Mr DeSantis has been in Iowa since Thursday. He has pledged eventually to visit All of Iowa's 99 counties as he seeks to boost his rankings in The State and nationally.
The Florida governor has faced Criticism - including From Within Republican ranks - over new education standards passed for middle schools in his state.
A line in the 200-page curriculum, saying that slaves learned useful skills that " could be applied to their personal benefit" has generated controversy.
Mr Scott, one of three black Republican presidential 2024 candidates, told reporters on Thursday: " What slavery was really about was separating families, about mutilating humans and even raping their wives. It was just devastating.
" So I would hope that every person in Our Country - and certainly running for President - would appreciate that. "
Local opinion polls in Iowa indicate Mr Scott May be gaining momentum.
Mr Trump recently lost a supporter in The Key state of Iowa owing to a political spat.
An Iowa state senator decided to back Mr DeSantis instead, days after Mr Trump criticised Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds for remaining neutral in the 2024 race.
" How many times have we gritted our teeth and shook our heads at some of the things that the former President has said? " Jeff Reichman told NPR.
