The Crowd at Trump's speech today

at the Western Conservative wingding, looked about the size you'd see at a high school basketball game. Filled very little of the Convention Center.
Can't find a pic right now.

the reporter in the convention center said there were 4000 chairs but less than half were filled. Of course that was about 5 minutes before Trump's arrival. After he arrived there didn't seem to be that big of a crowd ... just my impression of course but he seemed a little taken aback when he held his hand over his eyes several times trying to see how many people were there.

All his best supporters were there. Each one easily as good as four or five people at anyone else's rally! And they all just love him, and they'll be out in November to vote for him. In fact, their votes ought to count four or five times as much as anyone else's vote, just to reflect their enthusiasm! Trump's going to look into that. He's got people working on it right now.
