Donald Trump promised to bring together a crowd that would surpass what Bernie Sanders has been able to attract. He failed.

Would you put it past Trump, to buy a 'rally'? I wouldn't.

(21,816 posts)The correct number will only be seen by the few who search for it. Trump will be elevated not only by this false numbers reporting, but by the news channels pre-empting their regular shows to air his event live in prime time.
Compare this coverage to Bernie Sanders events with far more attendees. (and far more supporters, according to polls)
Trump is good for business, and business is good.

CNN sure looks like fools these days.
I saw the CNN broadcast at the gym, and the people watching were just agog that the event "had to be upgraded to a stadium because the crowd was just so large." It's working.
Trump has a media tank army at his disposal, and it's going to be like this until the November Presidential elections.
I sure hope some of these CNN/Fox/etc "professionals" finally start saying "NO! I won't do this!" Because those CNN folks sure looked unhappy about reporting on that Trump circus today.
