I am watching Trump trying to milk his rally audience for more adulation.

[dixiegrrrrl]

He keeps pacing back and forth by the nike, applauding himself, altho most of the visible audience around him is not clapping, just waving their signs.
With no sound, the visuals really stand out.

anyone hear how many showed up?

[C_U_L8R]

1. You mean how many were paid to show up?

Apparently they advertise on Craigslist.

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. Probably fewer that the average attendee's IQ

[GopherGal]

9. Hmmm, I don't think it's possible for it to be a negative number...

unless maybe you count the paid attendees (including Fox employees) as negative 1 each...

These days, if a candidate or protest organizer is short on numbers, he or she can simply pick up the phone and call a company like Crowds on Demand, a Los Angeles-based company that provides rental crowds for campaign rallies and protests. The company was founded in late 2012 by Adam Swart, a UCLA grad who majored in political science. It is among a very small number of U.S. companies that offers rental crowd services in the U.S. (including Crowds for Rent and the Trump-hired Extra Mile Casting), and perhaps the only one that does so openly.

5. +2, fuckin wow!!! Slime ball in every way

[Ohioboy]

4. I tuned in for a little bit

There are guys wearing coal mining helmets sitting right behind him for the cameras. It looks very staged.

[a kennedy]

6. I love how tRump mentions the folks running for office in WV......but the damn rally is

ALL about him. it's always been about him.

[Totally Tunsie]

7. J'ever notice how, when he's mentioning or introducing these Repug candidates,

it sounds like he's hearing of them for the first time? If he didn't have his teleprompter, he wouldn't know who the hell was running.

[Totally Tunsie]

8. WTF? Now they're hitting on Hillary again.

What year is this? 2016?

Someone needs to turn the pages on BigBoy's calendar.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Wonder what the life of Hillary is the devil is? Talk

about adding insult to injury.

Win the popular vote! Probably actually won the EC w/o Trussian interference! And have to watch this clown who caused it -- free and bragging up a storm?

Geez, it must really suck. She deserves a medal.

[Raine]

10. He's seem rather subdued

gee I wonder why.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Noose rash/chafing around his nuts?

[Solly Mack]

11. I'm watching "Insecure" on HBO. Catching up.

And laughing my head off.

I couldn't deal with watching that maggot right now.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. What is Insecure? We watch Immigrant on Showtime

Funny and witty and sarcastic!

[Solly Mack]

19. A show about the lives of friends (women).

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. Hmmm. I don't know that show...

Sounds as if I might be missing something good?

[Solly Mack]

21. It's great. Funny, timely, intelligent. I love it.

[procon]

12. Its one lie after another and the audience is too ignorant to know any better. nt

[Blue_true]

14. They watch Fox News constantly. The idiots think that he is telling the truth. nt

[RussBLib]

15. Fox News truth is not the truth

maybe that's what Giuliani meant.

Someday I hope people break the Fox spell. It's been a real drag on the country, but it's made some people very rich, so, that's what matters to too many people.
