Clinton, Trump make pitches to large crowds across NC

North Carolina residents undecided or yet to go to the polls are targets of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as they again pushed across this battleground state Thursday.

The major-party presidential candidates each made two public appearances in the state.

Trump spoke to a crowd of thousands Thursday night at The Farm in Selma. Earlier in the day, he spoke in Concord.

Clinton began her day at Pitt Community College Winterville and capped her evening in Raleigh with a speech before a raucous crowd at the Walnut Creek Amphitheater, where she was joined by former rival Bernie Sanders and hip hop artist Pharrell Williams.

Trump initially said the crowd in Selma was 15,000 strong (a number he later put at 17,500, citing the Johnston County Sheriff's Office's estimate) before spending much of the evening focusing on his plans for military forces should he become president.

Trump's two rallies had massive crowds, especially the one in Selma, NC

Hillary's rallies are always either at a school or college or with some musician or celebrity who are the real draw of her "crowds".

Notice how the headline was written to imply BOTH candidates had large crowds, when all I see are Trump numbers quoted.

It’s told that their jets were both at the RDU airport at the same time.

I’m sure they had to fumigate the tarmac after Clinton’s plane left.....

Of course the drive by media make one have to dig for the size of Hillary's crowds--

As to Pitt Community College, http://heavy.com/news/2016/11/hillary-clinton-greenville-winterville-north-carolina-nc-rally-photos-pictures-pitt-communiy-college-crowd-pics-supporters-how-many/ says, "Hillary Clinton led a rally today at Pitt Community College in Greenville/Winterville, North Carolina. The rally started at 3:15 p.m., with hundreds of supportive, enthusiastic voters showing up, WITN reported. An exact number of how many attended was not available at the time of publication."

And for the Walnut Creek Amphitheater http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/11/03/in-north-carolina-clinton-campaigns-with-sanders-poses-for-selfies-with-pharrell-williams/ says, she spoke to "about 4,400 people at Walnut Creek Amphitheater in Raleigh."

Trump more that doubles or triples that--

Exactly. Hitlery needs fake celebs. DJT had Medal of Honor recipients at his Selma event.

Exactly true! More MSM manipulation of the facts. But pictures don’t lie and at least they included a short video showing the crowd at Selma. But even that video did not do justice to the crowd size there.

Clinton had 1800 at her rally at the Community College while Trump had 17,500 at his rally in Selma. (I don’t know the numbers at his rally in Concord...maybe someone else knows it).

I also don’t know her rally size at the Walnut Creek ampitheatoer in Raleigh - but we know she had a “hip hop artist” with her and Bernie Sanders to draw the crowd. She can’t draw a crowd by herself.

Just over 1000 for Clinton at the Community college I believe - and 4400 for Clinton at the Amphi-theater (sp?)

Pitiful.

Sorry - need to be accurate here - the crowd for Clinton at the community college was said to be 1800, not just over 1000.

Still what a ridiculously small number - and it should be shouted from the housetops - Hillary can only draw small numbers at her rallies compared to the huge, awesome crowds at EVERY TRUMP RALLY!

Clinton gets mixed up on where she is - she was in Winterville, NC but kept saying she was in Greenville. I am sure the 1800 people at her Winterville rally were not impressed.

One wonders if hillary could remember where she was and if she could stand up/walk unassisted.

My opinion is that remarkable difference in enthusiasm will translate to votes cast and Donald Trump victory next week.

No doubt some crowds will be chanting:

LOCK HER UP!
LOCK HER UP!
LOCK HER UP!
LOCK HER UP!
LOCK HER UP!

I just can’t imagine that some people still support Hillary. Maybe if all they watch is the leftist media.....and they think that they are “informed”......
