“Rent a Crowd” Company Admits Politicians Are Using Their Service

"MOUNERS"

If anybody would need that service that's a "serious" candidate for prez it would be Bush. He literally has no support from the base.

I think Hillary is in bad shape also. They had a large area cleared out for her second announcement speech a few days ago; and had to close those areas. I have no doubt she has "rent a crowd" audiences as well. And no doubt, Obama does as well.

Ultimately, he discovered that a company called Extra Mile NYC helped the Trump campaign find actors willing to pretend to be supporters for a few hours in exchange for compensation.

Based off of this initial report, The Hollywood Reporter tracked down the actual email sent by Extra Mile to its subscribers, quoting the rate at $50 cash for those who showed up:

Politics just doesn't stop getting more bizarre.

I always has been this way, we just started noticing it recently. Remember baby kissing ? Projecting images not existing in reality in order to appeal to voters' emotions
