Trump's Rally Can't Fill Even Half The Stadium

[David Sadler]

NOT even close . . .

I'm talking about in terms of poll numbers and contributions.

 

[acptulsa]

Right now, Trump IS the person doing the most to prevent either a Bush or Clinton presidency.

Gee. I could have sworn that the people doing the most to prevent that were all named either Bush or Clinton.

If anything, Trump is providing them useful cover to try to hide the one's sins, and the other's impotence and family baggage, behind.

It was a 40,000-capacity stadium that was half full/empty.

Jim Hoft and Gateway Pundit are lying through their teeth. Telling you Trump got 42,000 is a direct 'f you' to its readers.

That image from the actual event looks only 1/4 or less full.

I don't like the Don but he's certainly pulling larger crowds than anyone else. I chalk it up to the dumb populace just looking for something to latch on to. If only we had a chance to make liberty popular. It seems everyone I talk to wants liberty, but they all seem to have that "one" little thing they want the goons to enforce on the rest of us... Therein lies our problem...

This back and forth about numbers is all much ado about nothing.

Again, not even close.
If there is so much wrong information about everything going on . . . so much dis-information,
how can you expect your polling to be accurate ? MIA of false reporting of every damn statistic. How lame of an election this is then.

So "Prior to Friday night, and still when the Sun comes up tomorrow morning,
the biggest crowd was and still is the 28,000 people who showed up for Democrat Bernie Sanders in Oregon,
about twice as many as the Trump events in GOP strongholds of Arizona and Alabama

 

[EBounding]

30,000 confirmed.

No, it was only 1/3 full. This is like how Trump tells everyone he's worth 10 billion.

Who confirmed the numbers for Bernie? Aren't the sources for those numbers the same as those for Mobile? And, yes, polls can be manipulated like anything else. You seem upset. Why?

 

[acptulsa]

You seem upset. Why?

Wading through shit upsets anyone. Or, at least, anyone who is smart enough to know shit when they see it.

Did you think we weren't that smart?

upset about what ?

You seem to suggest it is not worthy of pointing out the discrepancy in such a simple look at
a photograph of a stadium to confirm the range of reported attendance reported in mainstream and other media.

By the way, what did Fox come up with for the mysterious quantifications of the Donald Trump crowd sizes ? 15K - 42K . . . or was it standing room only above 43K ? lol

I have no way of knowing how many attended either event (Trump or Sanders). And it doesn't matter as far as I'm concerned because I fully expect everyone in politics and the media to lie and spin. Can we agree that the stadium was the only venue in Mobile large enough to hold those that did come?

The media realized Trump is toxic to the general election voters so they want to make it appear that all republicans are insanely supporting him. Gets biden elected.

Trump has never concerned himself with facts very much. He tells people what he thinks they want to hear if it will help him get whatever it is that he wants. Even his real estate empire. He didn't exactly "build it from nothing". He started with both money and help from his real estate dealing father. (Dad was worth $300 million when he died in 1999).

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...rumps-success-that-you-simply-cant-replicate/

Trump's father, Fred C. Trump, built an empire of some 27,000 residential units across Brooklyn and Queens, and was worth nearly $300 million at his death in 1999.

It isn't clear to what degree his father underwrote Donald Trump's early career. By the time Donald Trump graduated from college, he was already worth about $200,000 ($1.4 million today), he has written.

In any case, money isn't always the most important thing. It can be difficult to quantify the specific advantages that children inherit from their parents, which can include practical and cultural skills along with social networks.

An American father transmits about 47 percent of whatever advantages or disadvantages he has in income to his son, which is far more than in other developed nations. Across the border in Canada, for example, the figure is about 19 percent.

Americans born into one of the richest fifth of households have about a one in three chance of belonging to the wealthiest fifth themselves by age 26, according to one major study. By contrast, those born into the poorest 20 percent have about an 8 percent chance of making it into that most affluent group.

looks closer to 30,000 than Trump in Mobile, Alabama imo

I know that what scares me too . . . that is where we have been heading toward . . .
imagine a Biden v. Trump Presidential Debate for the general election . . . lol

What is with all the smugness in this thread? All the pictures of trump crowds, even the small ones, are bigger than anything Rand has had lately.

We should be panicking, not gloating.

Nobody is comparing his crowd draws to Rand,s draws. The issue people are pointing out is how the so called hostile media that was so against Trump would inflate his crowd numbers instead of deflating it like they did to Ron. Its obvious that drawing 15k ish supporter in short notice is very impressive but why claim it is 30k when it was nowhere near that mark?

Just makes me wonder

 

[devil21]

Trump's announcement speech was filled with paid attendees. Dunno why people think he's not still doing it to boost appearance of turnout.

It depends on the media outlet. One said there were hundreds.

 

[juleswin]

Any of those major news media? cos some no name internet media site don't count. Face it, the media is in the tank for Trump and they are promoting the hell out of Trump, this evening I watched a 1hr lovefest for Trump on CNN. No other presidential candidate has been given this kind of treatment by both left and right media. Obama came close but we can all see how that turned out for America.

 

[jj-]

I guess, if "being in the tank for Trump" means responding to economic incentives and broadcasting what generates ratings and revenue.
