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.

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.

These so-called "insiders" have been all wet so far.

Mobile has 195,000 people. Getting 40,000 for a political rally in a city of that size at this stage is a pretty hard trick unless you have a top tier entertainer or free food or beer on the ticket.

BTW, John Ellis Bush is scheduling an event a smaller venue in nearby Pensacola. At Eventbrite.com, you can reserve up to ten free tickets and decide not to show up.

According to local reports that stadium was the only part of the Mobile area that wasn’t rained out! He was very popular to have anyone show, but the naysayers will be out in force flogging the glass half empty story, rather than the content and enthusiasm for Trump.

Welcome to FR first! Good you joined this forum last month. I always like to welcome new members that are concerned. We are alive and well. Join us!

I watched the live feed from far away Minnesota. Sorry you couldn't find a way to do that, being a newbie and all. If you had been able to watch it, the stands were filled to the top with a max capacity of 40,000.

Maybe next time Trump has a rally you can avail yourself of the many live links people on here provide. Plus it was live on CNN, Fox, etc. Believe your own eyes when you see how many people Trump is turning out.

Jeb Bush would be lucky to have 500 turn out. Hillary even less.

Good but sad, really, really, really sad try concern troll. You are pathetic.

So what.

They thought they’d have hundreds and they had thousands. Why complain?
