Donald Trump fails to draw larger crowd than Bernie Sanders

[rsexaminer]

Donald Trump promised to bring together a crowd that would surpass what Bernie Sanders has been able to attract. He failed.

1. and half of those who did show up

were probably literally bought from Rent-A-Crowd

Would you put it past Trump, to buy a 'rally'? I wouldn't.

3. Speaking of Rent-A-Crowd....

How About Renting-A-Person....

7. Is there any evidence that this is true?

Or was it just meant to be a joke?

8. It a sarcasm Meme....

2. Fits like a glove!

Since Rump is one big ass of FAIL!

...just looked at the article...Sessions was there???? Oh vomit!

4. It doesn't matter, since media already reported 36,000 number

The correct number will only be seen by the few who search for it. Trump will be elevated not only by this false numbers reporting, but by the news channels pre-empting their regular shows to air his event live in prime time.

Compare this coverage to Bernie Sanders events with far more attendees. (and far more supporters, according to polls)

Trump is good for business, and business is good.

5. And CNN gave that creep headline status: Waiting with cameras and correspondents

as if it were some apocalyptic event.
CNN sure looks like fools these days.

I saw the CNN broadcast at the gym, and the people watching were just agog that the event "had to be upgraded to a stadium because the crowd was just so large." It's working.
Trump has a media tank army at his disposal, and it's going to be like this until the November Presidential elections.

I sure hope some of these CNN/Fox/etc "professionals" finally start saying "NO! I won't do this!" Because those CNN folks sure looked unhappy about reporting on that Trump circus today.

6. You wouldn't know it from TV

Flipping around the channels this morning, all I'm hearing is "packed stadium" and "Rock-star crowds."

9. They are watching Bernie's crowd numbers Lou Dobbs

last night mentioned Bernie was in the lead in four rallies with the highest number 28000

[olddots]

10. he pulls the audience that goes to cage fights or Monster Truck shows .

If they gave away Coors Lite and pork rinds he could double his crowds.

11. What gives me hope is that the best the new imperial wizard Trump could pull

is 20,000 Klan members. This with plenty of advance notice and non stop, 24/7 media coverage while Bernie regularly pulls bigger crowds while undergoing an almost total corporate media blackout.
