Trump Desperately Trying to Hide the Shrinking Size of his Crowds

I was there yesterday and the place was full to cracking. These hit pieces are very dishonest.

[moehoward]

Little Rock was a record crowd.

The only thing I’ve seen a little on the light side was one stump speech in Iowa. Fox made sure to show the 3/4 full room. Maybe 150 people. Think typical Cruz rally for a mental image.

That’s Cruzbots for you, one snarky dishonest post after another.

[HoustonSam]

I offer no opinion on the size of the crowd or the significance thereof.

However I thought it was generally accepted that Trump was travelling to Arkansas to receive Huckabee’s endorsement. I have seen no mention of an endorsement in the news.

Did I miss it somewhere?

It looks like 12K to me. The arena probably can fill 24K so big deal. I think it is amazing how many showed up. That tis great. Cruz continues to do his coffee shops which only works in Iowa. Trump has been amazing.

[dem bums]

Trump is really shrinking, its 6k instead of 12k crowd, but lets all ignore that the other candidates get less than 1k a

The other candidates aren't basing their campaigns on fly-in/fly-out YUUUUGE rallies. They are doing the hard work of actually campaigning - meeting voters, talking to voters, stopping by at local diners, shaking hands, kissing babies, etc. Y'know - retail politics.

“Trump’s latest big endorsement?”

That’s freaking hilarious.

Remember the source. Understand the reason.

[bigtoona]

After Trump blows everyone away in New Hampshire will his crowds drop?

:)

Over 80 comments in less that 30 minutes. Keep touching those nerves.

[Flick Lives]

Every day, I’m so very thankful I’m not Cincinatus.

The problem, as IJ Review notes, is that the total capacity for the arena where Trump held this event, including floor capacity, is 10,195.

[Calpublican]

My spouse, a Trump fan, has lost interest, but not because of Iowa, because of post-Iowa behavior.

[heights]

What’s Cruz’s crowd today? 12 guys at a Bob’s Big Boy hamburger joint?

[Techjock]

It appears that is a rapidly growing consensus.

[adaven]

The fire marshal reported over 11,500 in attendance. So almost 12K. Unless the fire marshal is lying.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

We disagree.

[libbylu]

What was DT thinking? Nice Baghdad Bob imitation.
I don’t think trumpees care.

It looks like 12K to me. The arena probably can fill 24K so big deal

That's great. Just make things up.

LOL!

Maybe those who want to keep posting the same articles from both camps which are not true should have their own section and the many of us who are fed up of this infighting can focus on bigger issues

[bootless]

Good irony! Or something ;)
