This Donald Trump crowd shot from Florida will wow you
WaPo ^ | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 01/14/2016 5:22:33 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Donald Trump took his front-running campaign for the Republican presidential nomination to Pensacola, Fla., on Wednesday night. And, holy cow, did people come out in droves to see him.

Here's a photo of the crowd taken by WaPo's own Jenna Johnson.

*snip*

Trump's campaign claimed it gave out 20,000 tickets; the arena holds 11,500 people. According to Jenna's reporting, there were "at least 11,000" in attendance and "several thousand more were turned away."

Large crowds are the rule, not the exception, at this point for Trump. He had 8,000 people in Lowell, Mass., earlier this month; more than 2,000 showed up in Burlington, Vt., -- not exactly a conservative enclave -- to hear Trump speak last week.

I've written a lot about crowd sizes this election and how they remain an uncertain indicator of actual support. But, Trump's ability to draw thousands and thousands of people to hear him speak this close to actual voting -- we are 19 days from the Iowa caucuses -- suggests to me that the enthusiasm and passion he has sparked among a certain segment of the GOP base isn't going anywhere any time soon.

No, I’ve been saying the same thing the whole time. I just think Trump should get this concern that he’s mentally ill behind him.

I haven't concerns raised about the others. I've only heard people saying Donald Trump is mentally ill.

It sounds like you might have been the victim of a recent alien abduction.

You keep saying the same thing over and over again, but can't provide any evidence.

Does this look familiar.;-)

Republicans are going to have to ask themselves the question about Trump: 'Do we want a candidate who could be in a mental hospital in two years?'

Thanks for your concernn trolling!

Have you noticed Cruz has a disturbing nervous reaction during certain stressful situations, for example, during his recent interview with Bret Baier.

Cruz should seek a psychistric evaluation. He and the GOP wouldn't want that hanging over his head.

Very clever, reminds me of Trump regarding Cruz eligibility issue. “Hey, its not me saying he is illegal (Cruz)/insane (Trump). Other people are saying it, and he should go to a judge (Cruz)/psychiatrist (Trump) and get certified as natural citizen (Cruz)/sane (Trump).”

Trump is really getting to you by attacking your man Cruz. You will soon be out of misery, when Trump wins Iowa.

America needs a leader not a lawyer.

Yeah, we’re all a little crazy right? That’s why this is so unfair to Trump, to say that he is mentally ill. If he could get this behind him it would really help him out.

I don’t see anything different from Trump than we’ve seen for years. He’s one part hyper-focused on successful results and one part media manipulator-extraordinaire. Nothing more.

Mental health? Cruz forgot to mention a million in GS “loans.” Being that forgetful is a mental health concern and proves he may not be fit to serve.

I know. I copied and pasted the stuff Donald said about Cruz’s eligibility and the extraneous characters copied over. I just changed the names and made it about mental illness instead of eligibility.

It’s amazing how offended Donald fans get when his own way of speaking is used against him.

Hit and miss poster. It’s on FR for a day or two then off for a few days. Pay it no
mind and go onto other things. If it gets no attention it will have to talk to itself.

And I think Cruz needs to debate Laurence Tribe and expose the creep regarding natural-born-status.

Your claim will go nowhere. My concern is already an opportunity being exploited by the Establishment ‘G’ OP to exploit [just as I had warned earlier].

They would rather lose than let Cruz OR Trump win. And those hypocrites will sabotage either of them at the first opportunity.

BS Flag on the play...just from my five min for FReeping this morning, I’ve seen your post on three different threads. Tell Heidi good morning for us and to stop spamming us with “worried sick” emails.

After a review of your posting history, these posts from last year suggests that you are either a troll or just a garden variety liar when you say you "like" Trump:

Trump is only a little boy who gets outraged by other people's outrage. Nothing more and nothing less. The quicker we get off his train the better, and begin to look for some people with integrity. I'd start with Cruz, Carson, and Walker. These are all people who've done something, who stick with their marriage vows, who treat people with respect even when they disagree. Trump is simply taking the liberal outrage playbook and mirroring it back. It's fun to watch, but he would destroy this country as a leader.

You're a Trump-hating troll. Own it.

That’s why it’s so awful that people are bringing this up. If he did a screening, that could just take care of it. We don’t want this to be an issue later.

Crowds are impressive. I just wish that I could delude myself into believing that this one-time Democrat socialist could right the ship of state's dramatic decline. I can't.

It will be pretty easy to tell, if a wall gets built, trade deficits go down, America starts making things again and we stop importing people from places that hate us then he did what he said he would do.
