Trump to campaign for Cruz in Texas, 77K sign up for venue that fits 18K
Fox News ^ | 10/19/18 | Amy Lieu

At least 77,000 people have signed up for President Trump’s Houston rally on Monday to support incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who is locked in the Texas Senate battle with Democratic Congressman Beto O’Rourke.

The Houston Chronicle reported that Houston police will be “fully mobilized” for the rally. Attendees must have tickets to enter and will be admitted in the order that they line up, the report said.

"Keep in mind that once the capacity is met, you won't get in whether you have a ticket or not," an officer said.

More than 77,800 people had signed up for the rally by Friday morning, according to The Chronicle. A person familiar with the event told the paper that the Trump campaign was not considering a move to a larger venue.

Well, yeah, maybe the Deplorable, gun tote'n, knuckle dragge'n, Bible thumpers signed up for a rally {they think that they will get free stuff}, but they won't vote on November 6th. S/Off

I hated to add the S/Off tag, but too many FReepers don't recognize sarcasm on it's face, and I'm too tired to fight today.

On election day, the world will find out.

The rats are very well funded. Drudge mentioned a billion dollars.

And they cheat, especially in Texas this year.

Can we overcome all of that?

I think there is an excellent chance we WILL.

But I wouldn’t bet the whole farm.

Hillary was a lot more vulnerable than the entire DNC.

I would cautiously bet that we will keep the House, but FRiend, I’m not convinced enough to even bet half the farm on it.

They cheat like crazy.

If voter fraud and other cheating has been dealt with it would be a major upset in our favor.

They make it very easy to get ‘tickets’. You fill out a form page with your phone number, they send you a text, and you verify. No more than 2 tickets per phone number.

Then they intentionally oversubscribe so that Leftists who obtain ‘tickets’, but don’t show up, won’t accomplish anything. There won’t be pictures of huge areas of empty seats, unless someone blocks them off, for whatever reason.

The seats are open, first come, first serve, so they’ll simply let the first 19,000 or so people who have tickets in. It’s a sure-fire way to pack the place, providing enough tickets are distributed, which seems to be the case.

Very smart way to deal with the Left.

originally it was going to be at Reliant Area (near the football stadium)

then it was moved to the Toyota Center (the basketball area)

why wasn’t it kept at Reliant and put IN the football stadium?

Get a bigger place just like AZ did. Not complicated. Do it outside if needed.

I recently read somewhere that the largest live crowd ever amassed by Elvis, was only 60K.

Trump more popular than Elvis?

Maybe they are concerned about security because Trump could fill up the Reliant Center.
