I watched the whole event on three different channels, FOX, znn, pmsnbc and if the stadium held 42,000 it lookd closer to 20,000 than 30,000 but it was a big crowd.

The people loved the donald and what he was saying and every pundit and politician that watched it knows that Trupmania is for real{outside of Washington}.

Clinton is too worried about emails to concentrate on the donald, but the professional hangers-on know that the demonRATs are in for a rough ride.

The economy is in the tank, the iran deal stinks to high Heaven, isis is murdering people all over the globe, ILLEGAL immigrants are raping and murdering American citizens every day, and Trump is screaming, "I will build the Trump Wall and it will be big and beautiful and it will have my name on it every 500 feet {both sides}.

You will get a good job and will love America {and your President, me} and all bad things will end, including obamacare.

I will fix everything, a chicken in every pot, a car in every garage, a new trumpophone, and most of all, NOT A SINGLE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.

Any one that watched this event knows that the people that attended and most of the viewers were in agreement and loved to hear someone have the balls to say it and say it WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING RIDICULED.

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too...John F. Kennedy

I watched it on CSPAN. Trump PROVED that he’s going to seek out the best advice to solve problems by going to Senator Sessions when he was writing immigration policy. How did the crowd respond to Senator Sessions being there? How was the energy between the two?

30000 is greater than 28000. Ha

Yep - it will hurt them to not be able to point out their favorite socialist as having the all-time record....

[AFreeBird]

I streamed it through YouTube. I didn’t even know YouTube did live streaming.

This

Time for Trump to polish his stump speech and hit hard on some zingers

Stop talking to rally crowds about Carl Icahn and Caroline Kennedy

Sop bragging about Wharton and how much money he makes

Focus on national security healthcare and the economy

[bert]

——his true beliefs——

his actions are what count

toeing some ideological line will not produce the accomplishment of a pragmatic hands on approach to solving our Obama wrought problems.

[AFreeBird]

>>> The bums just HAD to remind us that Alabama is “deep red” <<<

The Crimson Tide?

[Pearls Before Swine]

I expect to hear this soon on the MSM:

“The stadium was one quarter empty.”

/S

[silverleaf]

That was with 48 hours notice

He switched from a 2000 person venture to the stadium only 48 hours before the event and drew 30,000

[bert]

patience, patience....... all in good time.

[GoneSalt]

Ditto, plus visit the black community and hit jobs, jobs, jobs...make the equation that black Americans are the ones paying the most for illegal immigration. Blacks joining the revolution will make pajama boys bow their heads and follow. And plan to visit Israel, express support for the Kurds, keep the A-10.

[Ann Archy]

There were a ton of people on the field, which doesn’t come in at the seated number. He had a FULL house!

[silverleaf]

Excellent idea

If Trump hasn’t been to Israel now is the time to go up and stand on the Golan and to go visit Masada and the Gaza border

He should make it a two-fer and visit Egypt and overlook the Suez and maybe visit the UN base in the Sinai

...

And it was a hot and humid day.

[billyboy15]

100% correct. Whatever the actual attendance was it could not have been handled at either of the first 2 venues chosen so the stadium was needed.

[Vigilanteman]

Possibly. But if they are MSM lackeys, they will swoon without pay.

[chasio649]

The crowd loved it...Sessions is very well thought of in this state...Donald rarely gives someone else the spotlight...but he graciously gave it to Sessions....Sessions is not a fireball anyway...he is a slow and methodical person....Trump will need him later you can bet and he’s lucky to get him...Sessions is extremely smart.

The elderly went through a lot to attend this event....My wife and i had to help a few after the event...they were not well, dehydrated and plain old tired...but they were there...Lots of young kids 13 to 16 there also...They seemed to really enjoy it... My friend’s daughter(such a sweet girl) is 13..after the rally she said “It is so nice to hear someone say nice things about our country”. That impressed me.
