AMERICA LOVES TRUMP: Trump Massively Overflows CPAC With Another Impressive Crowd Of Supporters
DC Enquirer ^ | March 5, 2023 | Reed Cooper

Forty-fifth President and leading 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump, a legendary man known for shattering attendance records, overflowed the venue of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) with a huge crowd of supporters on Saturday even including the former President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.

Trump’s CPAC speech was held in the Potomac Ballroom of the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. The ballroom can hold 5,520 people seated. Trump’s audience was packed to the brim and there were even more people watching from outside of the ballroom.

As of the night of Trump’s speech, over two million people have viewed Trump’s speech via his personal channel on Rumble alone. Over 555k people watched Trump’s speech via Right Side Broadcasting Network on Rumble, as well.

Trump’s speech was broadcasted on Fox News, Real America’s Voice, Newsmax, RSBN, and more.

Before Trump’s speech, Trump embarrassed the former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley by sharing a photo of her low-attended speech, writing in a post on Truth Social, “Congratulations to Nikki Haley on drawing such a large crowd at CPAC.”

“As I told her, ‘Nikki, follow your heart!” Trump added.

WATCH: CPAC CROWD ROARS AS TRUMP TALKS ‘FINAL BATTLE’ OF 2024: ‘IF WE WIN, THEIR REIGN IS OVER’

Trump is no stranger to overflowing venues, either! Trump’s “Save America” rally in Wilmington, North Carolina in September, for example, overwhelmed the capacity by thousands of people.

The Aero Center, which has a capacity of 7,200 people, was packed to the brim with an estimated 10,000 people attending Trump’s rally, while thousands more that weren’t able to get inside were watching outside via a large screen.

Trump crushed any questions of him not being the leader of the Republican party yet again with a 42-point landslide lead in CPAC’s famous straw poll released on Saturday.

Trump came in first place, of course, with 62 percent. Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) came in second place with 20 percent, 42 points behind Trump.

Businessman Perry Johnson came in third place with five percent. Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley came in fourth place with three percent. And the remaining candidates came in with 10 percent combined.

With polls showing Trump in the lead amongst all potential Republican and Democrat challengers, any potential candidate will have an impossible battle if they attempt to usurp the favorite to win the 2024 nomination.

Other reports indicated a sparse crowd. I last attended CPAC myself in 2014.

It’s hard to believe any small government person would show up for someone who locked us down, gave big pharma billions, endorsed all of the fauci policies including mail in ballots.. then talk about a stolen election.
He must come clean about the EUAs… I was either an abuse of power… or it was duly warranted… why don’t we know the truth was Dwight from him.
He sounded like he was pronouncing himself as some kind of god after he handed us over the facts ci n co.
Records matter. His support of watching people get denied care and dying alone is not small government.
I did hear he will pay people to have babies… I do not support more welfare. He clearly does.

Tell me one president or any pol for that matter who would have gone against the recommendations of “science” and “experts” at that time.

That is the succint point. Any Non-MD president who went against 2 experienced MD’s would have received so much flack, even titanium shield would not be enough to protect. But posters are allowed to make all kinds of irrational and illogical posts.

HAHA think a little deeper. Rand Paul is a doctor and therefore qualified to comment on medical matters. Trump would have been laughed out of the barn if he spouted medical opinions against 2 experienced doctors.

You, I, Rand Paul, and Trump are all AMERICANS "and therefore qualified to comment on medical matters" or any other matter we wish to because of the God given right acknowledged in 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution.

Yes 1st Amendment is still active. But if you are not a qualified MD doctor, yoor medical opinion has not much value.

This was the smallest CPAC they’ve ever had. About 4000 signed up, and only some 2000 actually attended.

So you say, but the article, and the pictures confirm, the ball-room holds over 5000, and there wasn't enough room for his speech so there was an overflow crowd outside the ballroom.

Agree. Those who claim only 4000 signed up and only 2000 attended,should post proof if it exists, like ticket sales records, for example.

CPAC is not America. There are a lot of good folks there. But winning CPAC won’t get you elected.

Oh this can’t be! Such luminary publications such as Red State (rofl) have declared CPAC gasping out its last breath and sparsely attended. (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4135955/posts)
