Trump looked out Friday night at thousands of Oklahomans, many in Trump T-shirts and caps, waving Trump signs and screaming his name. Some camped out for a couple hours at the band shell, sitting through a performance by a cover band with a faulty sound system, just so they could see him up close.
"At first, when he said he was going to run, I thought it was a joke," said Charlie Bevers, 62, a supporter and retired social studies teacher who lives in the Oklahoma City suburbs. "When he got out there and did his 'Trumpisms,' I listened because I thought it was funny. Then I realized he was saying what I want to hear."
Darlene McBride, 65, said she was determined to see the Donald and dragged along her husband, son, ex-daughter-in-law and three grandkids from Guthrie.
"I've loved him ever since I heard him," said McBride, who is fiercely defensive of her candidate. "On Facebook, when they write ugly stuff, I tell them to go back to where they came from... The news media on TV has been real bad and hasn't been fair and has made stuff up -- and it's not fair and it's not okay."

"We can't say we didn't have fun," said Audra Edwards, 21, a University of Oklahoma senior from Tulsa who is a member of the Young Democrats club and attended the rally with a bunch of friends.

I don’t doubt it at all.
Everyone who’s been enjoying the gravy train that liberalism has gotten them will not give it up without a fight.
But We the People are a far more formidable force. Let the games begin!

That’s quite a crowd...and they were fired up.

Amazing!! Looks like Trump got the attention of everybody =)
How many are there...about 100,000.?
The picture has been cropped. There were more at top left and the white trucks/ vans were center of crowd
This is why Trump is popular, because people see through the crap that passes for journalism and are making up their own minds. Is Trump flawed? Yes, as are all the candidates in different ways. However, I'll vote for the man who demonstrates he's a man and fights for us, versus a crybaby who refuses to fight while giving way to political correctness run amok. The news media on TV no longer has a monopoly to brainwash everyone, because of the Internet and other sources of news. Keep hammering away, Trump!
It’s certainly much larger than the biggest reported crowd of 200 iCarly got, which is an improvement over her usual 15 to 20 rally supporters.
the estimate I read....was 12k...
Of course, the Obamabot & Republican Establishment Rino media cartel want to destroy Donald Trump!!! Why? Because on day one of his election, he will dump these lie tellers and America destroyers into the acid cesspool where they all belong!!! It is as simple as that!!!
…can someone post a couple of screen grabs from the OK event u-tube video….for our reference…and as ammo against the MSM.
Thanks in advance.
Only saw the speech up to that point, but I loved how he kept badgering them to "pan ALL the way around"
The problem is NOT with under-estimating TRUMP....
The problem is with OVER-Estimating..
I guess it all depends on who’s doing the estimating.
Incoming ….new tag line…DING…Ding…ding….
“How many are there...about 100,000.?”
I’d say about 10,000 in that picture.
correction
