For those who missed it, here's the full event. I was actually there - it was wild. Only thing that would have been better is if he could have said 'War Eagle'. But he's too smart for that. Sure fire way to alienate millions of Bama faithful. Heading home now to Pensacola. Enjoy

WOW, lucky you!
Anybody else think its really strange that 16000 people didn’t show up? Did the GOPe buy up a lot of tickets? But then again, I never saw a shot of the whole stadium. Maybe it was filled and the media didn’t report it.
I watched it from one of the local station feeds. They said many folks arrived hours before the event. Between the heat and long wait, some in the crows appeared exhausted, but still excited to be there.
The tickets were free.
Trump only filled 2/3 of the stadium. He’s failing and will soon drop out.
A tsunami may be building. I prefer Sen. Cruz, but Trump speaks out where the boehners and mcconnels are afraid to.
Thanks for posting. I watched on FOX, but I think they had any big applauses toned down. Didn’t show crowd.
Not near filled, it is a huge stadium. One station said 20,000, another said 27,000 in attendance.
There were also thunderstorms in the area. Might have kept folks away that had a long trip to get there.
I understand that. But 16000 people got free tickets and didn’t show up to the biggest political event yet of the political season? 5000 I could understand. But 16K? Hard for me to fathom.
That would make sense. Thanks.
So....don’t fathom. Easy
It might be the biggest political event yet this political season, but the political season has barely begun. The first primaries are still many months away.
So, who was doing a head count and who cares? It was televised on several stations, so how many do you think that added to the listening audience? It was threatening rain too, so maybe some didn’t go because they weren’t allowed to take umbrellas in. I dunno, but, it sure looked packed to me.
One of the comments:
“sea of boondockers, inbred simpletons, confederate flag flying rednecks who dream of a homogeneous white country there showing support for a fellow cracker which all equals to a pie in the sky.”
How do we deal with these people?
How many would Jeb! draw?
Yeah, it looked packed to me too. I kept looking for an overhead or panorama shot of the crowd. Maybe I just and missed it.
You know its easy not to fathom. I understand.
You're right about that. But I'll say it for him. Give me a second.
WAR EAGLE!
