Media Hides Laughable Turnout For Obama’s Nevada Speech While Trump/Cruz Rally Saw Thousands...

FULL Title :"Media Hides Laughable Turnout For Obama’s Nevada Speech While Trump/Cruz Rally Saw Thousands In Attendance"

The media has tricks it can use to make it seem like a Democrat has far more support than he or she actually does, and proof has recently surfaced to show just how true that is.

Former President Barack Obama’s recent speech that attacked Republicans and the President — though he never mentioned Donald Trump by name — was widely covered by the media, seemed like it was a must-see/must-attend event for Democratic Rep. Jacky Rosen, currently struggling against incumbent Republican Sen. Dean Heller.

By the media’s account, Obama was surrounded by energized Democrats and enthusiastic voters. The bleachers behind him were packed to the brim, and the people in front were numerous.

Or were they?

According to some cell phone footage, the media’s packed house was a camera trick. The house wasn’t as packed as they’d have you believe. In fact, for it being a speech featuring the left’s golden boy, it seemed pretty sparse with a ton of empty seats where the media’s cameras weren’t going to focus.

As you can see, much of the back room is empty, only dotted with reporters with cameras. The floor before Obama seems to have a few dozen people watching.

Now compare that to the bleachers behind Obama, where the media’s cameras were pointing in this next clip.

But even if the camera drifts far enough off to the side, it appears we even more empty bleacher space as this next clip shows us.

This is reminiscent of the media tricks played for the Hillary Clinton campaign, where they literally had to add in walls to the back of the meager crowd she gathered to make it seem like she had more attendees than she did.

Now let’s compare that to the recent Trump rally in Houston.

This footage shows Republican turnout for the Trump/Cruz rally, with large amounts of people in the streets and waiting in line to get into the Toyota Center in Houston.

People were even camped out overnight to get in the previous day.

Meanwhile, here’s the crowd size inside the Toyota Center during the speech. As you can see, the building is packed to the rafters, with the exception, of course, of the privately owned luxury suites.

It’s also worth noting that the Toyota Center, which seats around 18,000 wasn’t the original site of the rally. Originally, it was supposed to be held at the NRG center which seats 8,000. The ticket sales surged past capacity, and so the Toyota Center was substituted.

This is even more of a clue that Republicans have a serious amount of momentum going into the midterm elections. With massive turnouts for early voting in Texas, all signs point to a Cruz victory.

This is why Dems have to bring in millions of third worlders - they’ve lost the working class Americans.

They curtained off areas so empty seats would not be visible.

Man, those pix of the Trump rally crowd are incredible. He’s filling that place like it’s the RNC convention, on a Monday in a year where he’s not running for anything and after two years of dems throwing everything in the book at him and plenty not in the book too. He’s got star power, plain and simple.

The roar of the crowd during the rally was so loud at times, I thought the roof was collapsing. MAGA

Was this the speech where he took credit for Trump’s great economy?

The Thrill Is Gone
B.B. King
Album Completely Well

[Verse 1]
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you’ll be sorry someday

[Verse 2]
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away from me
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I’ll still live on
But so lonely I’ll be

[Verse 3]
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone, baby
It’s gone away for good
Someday I know I’ll be over it all baby
Just like I know a man should

[Verse 4]
I’m free now baby
I’m free from your spell
Free, free, free now
Baby I’m free from your spell
And now that it’s over
All I can do is wish you well

I wonder if anyone has EVER gone to a second Obama speech. It is probably a mistake that few liberals make twice even if they did vote for him twice.

YES! He claimed that raising taxes spurred economic growth among small business.

I guess you just can't beat those affirmative actions educations.

Be fair. It wasn't all "me,me,me." He said I,I,I too.
