I saw a woman counter protestor at The Bronx rally saying the parking lots were loaded with out of

state plates. Someone should have gotten video evidence of that. As few people that were there, most of them could have been Trump groupies that follow him around. LOL

Wouldn't be the first time Trump & Co. doled out money to minority "supporters"

I don't think it would be very well received

In this case, fated to follow the fetid stench of their personal rotting albatross for the rest of their lives (or the rest of their sanity, whichever comes first).

... on one of "those" channels -- y'know, the kind that you feel dirty after watching and have to take a shower? There were no crowd shots. None. For all we know, there could have been thirty people there.

12. Trump's poorly chosen rally venues

Are made on the basis of his emotional neediness, not campaign strategy. Look at Wildwood., NJ. He was a mere curiosity on the beach. People wandered up, people wandered off. “What is this freak show all about?” Kinda’ like rubbernecking on the NJ Turnpike.

Same thing with this Bronx rally.

He is a lazy ass but he still needs to campaign because this is how he gets “love” in his life. Dog knows he isn’t getting it from his wife or daughter.

Now look at what Joe is doing. I heard a story on the radio about it. They have made a list of strategic states where they have set up offices with staffers. In addition, Joe travels to those states to campaign.

Personally, this is what I want to see done with my campaign dollars. It would make me nauseous if I thought my money was going to lawyers.

Because the defined perimeter of an indoor arena only emphasizes how few people attend.

While Trump's campaign has claimed he drew 25,000 supporters to Crotona Park Thursday night, police and reports from inside the park put his numbers at about 3,500.


++based on pic, I wouldn’t even give it 3,500.
