(796 posts)Trump is a serial liar.
short circuit
(145 posts)1% 10% of the expected 35,000?
tavernier
(12,392 posts)which may fill later but pretty sparse at this point. That's how it looks too when they scan it with the camera.
onethatcares
(16,172 posts)they fill them with cardboard cutouts painted the same color as the seats, THey have about the same intelligence level an don't use the bathrooms as much.
Fred Sanders
(23,946 posts)and his media entourage are going to soon take a long sharp drop to reality....being exposed as all being nothing but liars....why is CNN hiding the confirmed record of lies?? The desire for a police state and slurs and offensiveness as "debatable".
tavernier
(12,392 posts)They have stated several times how sparse the crowd is, and that they shouldn't have rented such a big place because it doesn't look impressive.
Fred Sanders
(23,946 posts)pulls the plug on the oxygen..maybe tonight?
The coverage itself is oxygen, though.....none for any Democrat, that valve is shut tight.

(31,168 posts)Wondering whether or not Trump's flyover of the stadium violated FAA regulation. Just speculation at this point.
Fred Sanders
(23,946 posts)spectacular, that is what folks are waiting for!
And when that happens the insipid moronic media and the GOP need to be dragged down with him.
GP6971
(31,168 posts)Hopefully they'll ground Trump's total sir operations and fine the crap out them. I know.....wishful thinking

(33,688 posts)Fred Sanders
(23,946 posts)who? Yes, it is more Trump!
Followed by some twisting of polls to assist the GOP! Exciting fascist stuff on CNN!
Remorseless tools of the 1%.
CNN is worse than Fox because some sane folks still have some trust in them....that has to end also.
ericson00
(2,707 posts)the email stuff goes on deaf ears but when its ultimately be debunked people will listen, an unelectable buffoon will get the GOP nomination or divide the party and hurt turnout, Hillary Clinton landslides Trump or Bush III (who has by then became Trump on immigration). The end. 8 more years!

tavernier
(12,392 posts)He will have to start bussing in people to fill the seats. I wouldn't call the Mexican community, though, Donald. 😄
Fred Sanders
(23,946 posts)COLGATE4
(14,732 posts)matter, Trump will simply say that the stadium was packed to the gills, standing room only and with an overflow crowd of over 10,000 AA's and Hispanics who couldn't get in but still wanted to hear him, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseam and the media will report his every word as Gospel.
Fred Sanders
(23,946 posts)Trump ain't no Mussolini, despite the vain attempt.
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)But it was the best crowd ever, and T Rump only had to pay 35% of them to show up. Maybe 75%. Who cares? It was the finest quality crowd ever to attend a political rally with the best candidate ever.

(50,130 posts)Just ten minutes before the time noted above, Blitzer said it would be the largest rally of 2015 -- forty thousand. They showed live feed of Trump's plane flying over the stadium, and said that the FAA had given special permission for that fly-over.

AngryOldDem
(14,061 posts)Fly it over the stadium with a camera to get a true picture of the crowd.
Camera shots have been tight, making it look like a crowd. But are they just packing everyone on one side of the stadium?
There was no way he was going to fill up that place, but I'm sure he's convinced himself that he's talking to millions.
malaise
(269,062 posts)about 20,000 _Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahahahahah
ericson00
(2,707 posts)when the hordes didn't show up in as big a number as expected. Donald will sue those who don't say "at least 36,000 people," Beck wasn't able to do that.

(2,707 posts)that isn't country music, since Dee Snider I think is Republican (which is weird because most of the PMRC was Republican)
Tommy_Carcetti
(43,182 posts)Maybe 15,000-20,000 tops.
Definitely not the 42,000 Trump was claiming was going to show up.
A normal person would be happy with 15,000. Trump won't be. He'll brag it was 50,000.

(3,212 posts)That picture is a great optic to use against him, but remember that his supporters had originally planned on a meeting room that held about 1200. He's on a roll!
But that's good news, since Trump is sucking all the oxygen from the other Republicans.
Metric System
(6,048 posts)talking heads, including Don Lemon, were going on about how entertaining it was and really there was very little criticism until just now with Douglas Brinkley, who compared Trump's rhetoric to George Wallace's.
