78K Sign Up for Trump-Cruz Rally at Venue that Holds Only 18K
Breitbart ^ | 20 Oct 2018 | John Nolte

Nearly 78,000 people have signed up to attend President Trump’s rally with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Monday, which is scheduled to take place in a venue that holds only 18,000.

According to the polls, Cruz, who is running for a second term, enjoys a healthy but far from Texas-sized single-digit lead over Media Cover Boy Beto O’Rourke. By comparison, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is up a whopping 20 points over his Democrat opponent. So the president is headed to Houston to ensure there are no surprises.

The real news, though, with this 78,000 number is how popular Trump remains with his supporters. The idea that he can still overfill these venues (as he has consistently done all over the country) two years into his presidency is unprecedented.

A number of presidents were, during their first successful campaigns for the Oval Office, considered rock stars: . . . . . This was also true of Trump, but his crowds during the 2016 campaign were breathtaking, and those who defied conventional wisdom and correctly predicted Trump would triumph over Hillary Clinton pointed to this phenomenon.

And Hillary thinks she’s going to tap that gravy train.

Do they even look at social media these days?

Hillary is ravaged there. Trump has love heaped on him.

It’s truly amazing to watch.

It wasn’t meant to be a surprise. It says the real news is how Trump remains popular. Nothing to argue with there.

Mr RooRoo went to the Arizona Trump rally yesterday. He said he thought the hangar probably held 8,000 to 10,000 Deplorables. At least twice as many came to the rally but couldn’t fit into the hangar. They stood outside during the rally. It was incredible.

It is my understanding that due to POTUS security needs, it will be logistically nearly impossible and prohibitively expensive to hold events in large arenas and stadiums.

I'm sure Trump can fill them.

That’s neat. I think people are, in many ways, more fired up now than in 2016.

We add 3-5 to the Senate and hold the House. IMO

The Dems need to be HUMILIATED!!

Yes, the prime concern is the safety of the President.

You may not like Cruz but what is the alternative? Give it up please. We are in a fight for our country’s freedom. It’s Cruz or evil. To your choice.
