Last evening, just before the rally began, the local Fox10 reporter said ‘their’ live stream has reach 10,000 viewers.

That does not include at least a half-dozen other live streams from competing networks, nor the cable news that broadcast it partially or fully.

I can well imagine that the crowd swelled significantly right at beginning of the event. Unlike the Dim rallies, events like Trump’s have a lot of working people who have to wait until the end of the work day. The Dims can bus in welfare recipients, union people, and assorted deadbeats at any time of the day (as long as it’s not before noon).

Well, when you have no valid reply, I guess your nonsense poem is the best to hope for.

No one is saying boo on the “live stream” stats. They must be out of the park!!

I watched "live" on the FOX TV Internet stream out of Mobile.

When I signed on I heard shortly that there were 1700 plus watching. Within another 20 minutes the local anncr reported they were streaming to over 5000, including the Netherlands.

After Trump left the airport to head for the rally the Fox station reported over 10,000 watching. That was at least nearly 30 to 40 minutes before Trump emerged in the stadium.

I had friends in Arizona, Idaho, and Florida who were watching along with me "live."

The doors opened at 5:00. Parking at that stadium is very limited in relation to its capacity and the roads leading to it are two lane roads for the most part. Many, many people took shuttles from two locations. It took a long time to get there. That’s why there were so few people there early. Getting out was a nightmare and it took us about an hour and a half to get back to our car on the shuttle.

>>>It’s funny that a New Yorker who hates Southerners would hold a rally in Alabama<<<

Source for that bit of Slander?

I’m originally from New York and I love Southerners. Much of my Wife’s Family retired to Mississippi and the People there are wonderful. We visit there twice a year.

To make it worse, my Wife and her siblings are half Latin (Mexican) and her Mother is full Latin (Mexican), born and raised in Mexico City.

They all love what Trump is saying (especially the Anchor Baby topic) and they are as Apolitical as they come despite my constant talking up of Senator Cruz for the last couple of Years.

I’ll assume you’ll be Posting contrarian views on all the “I Love New York” Threads very soon.

Goodness, this is so much fun. What an Electoral Cycle.

That fake Republican who constantly demeans and knocks Trump......the fat latina Che..... is one of the more sickening, unctuous, lying bags of offal on all TV news panels across the fruited plain.

That sweet old codger who's the only one that speaks for Trump on these vicious anti-Trump CNN panels is not only outnumbered but he's out-nimbled. He's no match for her, or any of them, for that matter.

He's a nice old guy....he's on camera practically every hour (he obviously has a cot and a toothbrush just off-camera in the studio)......but he's not the brightest light in the harbor, in fact he's about as sharp as a bowling ball. He's basically worthless although he earnestly tries, he really tries.

Trump needs to get a younger and sharper spokesman for these much-watched CNN panels. This is critical. His media people should have picked up this particular deficiency immediately. Why should we have to point things like this out?

I don't even charge a consultation fee, Donald.....LOL.

I watched the speech.

I'm sick to my stomach.

This soulless man serves Money, and Money only. He panders to a Bible-believing people, but it comes off so phoney, and almost blasphemous at some points.

All the name-dropping he does, and his self-adulation about how he "knows how to do the deal" just totally turn me off.

Yes, I like to see him savage the news media and the politicians "who don't have a clue" as much as anyone else.

But I believe that America will be truly sorry for climbing into bed with this man.
