(MOBILE, Ala.) — In what was hyped to be one of the biggest events of the 2016 campaign so far, GOP front-runner Donald Trump held a rally Friday night in Mobile, Alabama in front of 30,000, police confirmed.
Trump has now had the largest turn out to a single event during the campaign, beating Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders’ rally in Portland which drew 28,000.

Where’s that LSM article claiming it was a disappointing 20,000?
No one is saying boo on the “live stream” stats. They must be out of the park!!
Commie Bernie was beat. ;-)
About the same number as Bernie Sanders attracted in Portland, Oregon.

CNN was covering it live; at or near the beginning of Trumps appearance CNN showed a picture of the stadium from 45 minutes earlier claiming it was a disspointing attendance with well less than 20,000 for that 40,000 capacity stadium.
Whereas if they just showed a current pic of the filling stadium they would be trying to promote is as a dud.
but 30,000 was a good number for that kind of thing.
Not only live stream, but many networks covered his speech live, as well.
They don’t notice the several thousand of the Trump ralliers were also standing on the football field.
Yes, it did look semi-full.....at first.
But by the time Donald got there, the stadium was filled to capacity.
Plus there were hundreds standing on the field....and hundreds of others in the parking lot who couldn’t get in.
Of course CNN won’t report the fact Hillary couldn’t fill the back of a bus with her appearances these days.
Same thought when I heard it was moved to a stadium...
...” could only get 75%”
...” could BARELY fill 75% of seating or standing room”
...” barely filled large capacity even with free tickets”
...” overestimated response”
...”helicopter landing restrictions took more space than entire stadium”
...”helicopter landing restrictions took more space than entire stadium.. IMAGINE IF HE WERE PRESIDENT!”
...”Trump at stadium, other venues... NO SIGNs of COMMUNICATION...”
...”Trump has secret communication system... and many bathrooms”
It was all done with mirrors and 12 paid Trumpeteers.
Any anti-Trump freeper will gladly verify this.
Yes, I would love to see the estimates for live streaming. It has to be a huge number.
It’s why those capable of critical thought shun MSM networks like CNN. They simple have no credibility and have demonstrated this many times.
It's funny that a New Yorker who hates Southerners would hold a rally in Alabama.
The CNN panels and anchor were actually orgasmic as their eyes feasted on the empty seats shown on the screen, although the viewers at home could see with their own eyes the large crowd and hundreds and hundreds of folks filing in steadily.
Donald was correct in his speech...the MSM and its moronic commentators LIE, SPIN and DECEIVE without conscience or even a hint of morals.
Keep hittin' 'em, Mr. Trump!
(.....although these media whores are so evil and so corrupt that I doubt if ANYTHING can faze them....except perhaps meeting Lucifer face-to-face when they've signed off their propaganda gigs forever).

So was fox, msnbc, and I believe c-span as well. So I’d say that along with the live streaming, probably the biggest political audience since the 2008 campaign.
but of course the big story is: “Only 40,000 people showed up”
Betcha Michelle could...
Oh! You mean attendance capacity. Nevermind.
That’s not where the real “numbers” were.
All the different networks that carried the speech live is where the real
viewer numbers were.
On FOX last night they kept saying the stadium had empty patches and probably 15,000 attended.
