Trump: They Need Larger Venues For My Town Halls While Jeb Has A Very Small Crowd, They're Sleeping

At a rowdy town hall on Wednesday night in Derry, New Hampshire held by Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate took a jab at his fellow presidential hopeful Jeb Bush, who happened to be holding a town hall at the same exact time.

Trump talked about how he has to continually change venues due to the amount of people he draws while Jeb "has a very small crowd" that is "sleeping."

"I'm going to be in Alabama, and there was going to be 500 people, and the room held about 1,000, and they heard that we were there. And within about two minutes, that room wasn't big enough. So they went to a room that held 2,000 people, and they heard that wasn't big enough. And now they went to the convention center, and they heard that wasn't big enough. They're going to end up being 30 to 40,000 people in Alabama."

"Right down the road, we have Jeb," Trump said. "Very small crowd. We have 2,500."

Trump boasted he had a live audience of 2,500 and several overflow rooms.

Donald Trump is a Hard-Core Conservative.

Not by any measure does Jeb compare favorably with Trump.

Don’t get me wrong, I have always felt that the Bush’s were nice folks.... just terribly unsuited for the job of power politics.

I would be unsuited as well and I’m a nice guy, and not totally stupid either...really..lol

When a champion is called for in a time of existential crises you don’t raise up a man like Jeb... you raise up a powerful man like Trump (or a Churchill) With such men you must accept both the good, and the bad since most powerful men are flawed men.

I have no problem with a flawed man, not even with some who are deeply flawed. I figure there was only one man that ever walked the earth who was perfect... you know who I mean.

God sometimes raises up a Gideon to carry out an important task... maybe we are being given a final chance... I have my hopes up.

Did any of you guys suspect that the “veteran” who talked to Donald about putting the present administration in jail was possibly a plant to make him look bad? Donald handled it brilliantly, praised vets and moved on to the next question. But I was thinking, as I watched this interchange, that maybe this is a new media or RINO tactic. Go to Trump Town Hall, pose as a supporter, then lead him into saying something that would take him down.

Paranoid? Maybe I am, but I don’t trust Trump’s enemies any further than I can throw them. They’re a slippery lot.

I think you are right..this is what the left does so smart of Trump to see through it. He knows the deal, the media has their video cameras waiting for the moment that one of their hired goons tries to make Trump slip up

I thought that more about the first lady who talked about 0bolie’s hubris. I knew exactly where her *question* was going.

Sure enough....she kept babbling, while Trump was answering - perfectly, I might add (”0bama’s doing a lot of things bad”) - and asked him if his hubris was going to be a problem, or something like that. He politely cut her off, when he realized where she was headed.

No doubt that the MSM/libs/Jebbots-GOPe are going to have their plants stationed at his events.

Someone earlier said it looked like an AARP meeting. That, mixed with an extra credit assignment, for the few college aged kids.

I think what tipped me off was the look on Trump’s face when the guy asked that. It was a almost a look of bemusement, like, hey, I know you, you came here to set me up. Next question!

Can’t prove it, of course. The guy asking the question just talked strange, almost rehearsed.

Just my two cents.
