This crowd shot from Donald Trump’s Massachusetts rally is absolutely mind-boggling
Washington Post ^ | 1/5/2016 | Chris Cilizza

Donald Trump went to Lowell, Mass. - a town about five miles south of the New Hampshire border — for one of his now trademark big-arena rallies on Monday night. This is what the crowd looked like per WaPo's Jenna Johnson.

The building - named after the late Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas (D) - holds 8,000 people, and local officials were estimating that it was filled to capacity or beyond. That is a MASSIVE amount of people - especially considering that the high temperature in Lowell yesterday was 29 degrees and Trump's rally didn't start until the evening.

This is what the line to get in looked like.

I hope this translates into votes! Register people at these big events, ask for their vote...don’t tell them to vote... ask for their vote.

Hillary couldn’t get this many voters out in that cold even if she promised them all XBoxes and iPhones......they’d bitch about the cold and demand them anyway without going.

Yes, but I’ve been told that people in cold environs spend hours waiting on line in the cold to go to church and shopping anyway so it’s not really a big deal....like they have nothing better to do on a Monday night in January just after a holiday week.

The only thing Hillary can do is go negative nasty on Trump. And he will hit back harder.

In an ultra lib state like Massachusetts, this is very significant.

I wonder if people that will stand for hours in very long lines in freezing weather to attend a political speech will make the effort to go to the polls and vote. Hmm.

At the end of your tunnel,

Coming your way."

In Deep Blue Massachusetts where as the old joke has it, the GOP would be lucky to fill a phone booth.

And Trump has upended that axiom by having crowds line up outside the door waiting to hear him! I have never seen that in a Democratic state.

In early winter, that speaks volumes about Trump’s surging popularity, which shows no signs of cresting yet.

Libs aren’t impressed by this as they control the electronic voting machines.. If need be, the vote cast by every person in that rally will be altered to vote for Hillary.. And they will get away with it! Last election, ALL 19 precincts of Philly went 100% for Obama with NOT ONE vote allowed for Romney and there was NOT ONE peep out of the RNC or any of the RINOs.

One of the many qualities that resonate from Trump is his “authenticity.”

In an era when everything politicians do is staged and controlled, people notice when a person is real and transparent.

Lack of authenticity and transparency is what we detect in politicians that makes us uncomfortable, but because they are such polished actors with controlled make up lighting scripts and even audiences, we are somewhat fooled.

Trump is ripping down the facade.
