...."Kaine, Party of 30
The meme began spreading on Twitter Monday night and Tuesday: that a daytime rally for vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine in West Palm Beach, Fla., had drawn just 30 people. The conservative blog Gateway Pundit reported this. The Drudge Report tweeted it. So did the candidates son, Eric Trump, his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, and numerous other prominent conservatives.
But its not true
The origin of the 30 people at the Kaine rally myth appears to be this video, from the Trump Street Team FL. In it, a Trump fan stands in front of the rally, then pointing his camera over towards the 30 people, while pointing out how pathetic the showing is and that it means Clinton has no support in Florida. Most tweets about the rally have used a screen capture from this video:
Take a look at the rally in the video: Theres music playing. People are milling about. Theres no one on stage. Its blatantly obvious that the video was filmed not during the rally but rather before it started, and certainly before Kaine arrived. If you've been to a political rally, you know that they tend to let people in hours before the actual rally starts. ......."

(2,056 posts)People know his name and all, but in all honesty he's really not a dynamic type so unless other speakers are there too it's unlikely he'll draw a lot of people.
