President Donald Trump announced Thursday evening that his re-election campaign rally at the SNHU Arena broke the stadium’s previous attendance record, held by rock star Elton John.

The SNHU Arena holds nearly 12,000 people, and was nearly filled to capacity when the U.S. Secret Service closed the doors. Thousands more people watched the president’s speech on giant television screens outside the arena.

There were several hundred left-wing protesters, too, some of whom formed a gauntlet that forced Trump supporters to walk past crowds of people shouting “Shame!” — a potentially dangerous situation, though there was no violence. Several “peacemakers” were visible in orange jerseys, ostensibly to prevent clashes between the two sides.

Butt, butt, butt..............what about the protest plans to garner huge amounts of tickets to make sure the arena was at least half empty? What about that?

DU is featuring photos of empty seats behind the president and snickering that he’s not as popular as he thinks, just days after DU’S effort to recruit their readers to reserve free tickets and NOT show up.

Tomorrow’s NY Times headline: “Trump denies gay man his due” Or something like that.

RSBN showed those empty seats. Why were they empty if people were watching outside?

I just figured that because the NE is chocked full of Liberals that it would be harder to find people who like Trump.

“RSBN showed those empty seats. Why were they empty if people were watching outside?”

We thought it had to do with bumped-up security, and those seats’ location as to where Trump would be. There were more threats of disruption than usual. We thought there was a different “aura” last night — just like extra watchfulness. We could be totally wrong.

More proof that Trump is NOT a racist. He’s quit his redneck ways.

Great photo.

So the seats behind the stage were not used. That happens at concerts all the time. Nothing strange about that.

Is William Weld still in the race? If he is, I recommend he quit now.

My sister got a seat up behind the stage 20 feet from the podium.
