The difference between 29K and 6K requires a lot more than mere fudging.

I've been to the Omaha airport a number of times. There's no way in Hell 29K people could have attended that rally. It would have had to have been on the east side, on the other side of the runways from the main terminal and right next to the river. There is a narrow two-lane road that leads to the hangar area and it's the only way in and out, so even 6,000 people would have been more than enough to cause a massive clusterfuck, and it would have been totally impossible to get 29,000 people to that location. The fact that they couldn't get buses in after the rally was foreseeable by anybody with two functioning brain cells to rub together, but obviously there are none at all to be found anywhere in the Trump campaign.

"Of course only men can read a map...only a man would think that one inch equals a hundred miles."

That's Trump's way of thinking on everything, even his liddle mushroom.
