The line to get into Rainbow Gardens this afternoon was very long, with people waiting for more than an hour to get a good spot.
The venue anticipated 2,000 people to attend, and it looks like they predicted right.
Thousands of people are coming out to support Republican candidate Ted Cruz. The line wrapped around the Waldameer parking lot, with supporters waiting to listen to Cruz speak.
Many people are not surprised he chose to come to Erie and believe he can beat Trump for the nomination.
Some say they have supported Cruz from the very beginning, and others say they have recently made the switch to support him.
Overall, many people are happy he chose to speak in Erie saying it shows he is paying attention to the smaller cities.
One local GOP party volunteer was given the chance to ride the Ravine Flyer with the Presidential candidate and says it is something he will never forget.
Your title is different than at the link.
Why did you change it?
Cruz is smart to be campaigning in California and Pennsylvania and, within Pennsylvania, focusing on “underserved” areas such as Erie.
The Link has ‘Just under a thousand attend”......someone is not telling the TRUTH..
Goony Birds Flock To Cruz Rally
Better headline all around.
This was not really a Cruz event but a general venue/event hosted by some other group. I am not sure who were the other speakers though. IOW, it’s like Cruz taking credit for “winning” Colorado.
I checked the official gop site; https://www.gop.com/official-2016-gop-delegate-count/
Trump has 755 and needs 482
Cruz has 521 and needs 716
There are 798 remaining
Trump needs 60.4% of the remaining delegates.
Cruz needs 89.7% of the remaining delegates.

Cruzbots= truth doesn’t matter. Lyin’ Ted. Oh well, he doesn’t need no voters anyhoo.
LOL
Here’s the real title:
Just under a thousand rally for Ted Cruz
Ted has obviously has enochlophobia. He doesn’t like large crowds.
*snicker*
The site changed it after I posted it.
He changed it because it sounds better than the true headline
JUST UNDER A THOUSAND RALLY FOR TED.
Nice Ted, the story says hundreds. They change that too?
Oh, forgive me...then you probably should have noted it.
Lyin’ Cruzbots count the people as they enter, then count the people as they exit, add them together for the total.
I didn’t know they would change it. I’m not a psychic.
They didn’t want to be lyin’ like Ted does.
