I went to both rallies to try to figure out what was driving voters and to determine who was the more inspiring president to their bases in 2018. I came into the weekend only knowing two things for sure. One, I’d never covered President Barack Obama on the trail before. In fact, I’d never been to a campaign rally without Donald Trump.

But I will always remember the warmth I felt from everyone in the hall. You supported me all the way - thank you. This year marks a century since the end of the First World War.

Inscribed within it are some familiar words: "At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them." We do remember them.
