Hey, we ought to let them have their little liar-fest.

Remember all the hundreds of thousands who always showed up for The Hildabeast?

I saw one clip that might have been 1000 people for Beto and he was speaking as the Trump crowd roared, so loud, he had to pause before continuing...

= = = = = = =

I saw that too but can’t find it.

What I’ve seen re: Beto’s crowds...estimates came mostly from MSM
Pres. Trump estimates came from fire officials.

Beto’s rally was in a park.
Pictures of the crowds and where the events were located seem to bear out the President.

check this out. - pictures from both venues...

There were ten thousand plus waiting outside the venue for Trump who could not get in ...

What difference can this possibly make?

All that is needed is to view with one’s own eyes the many videos of the two rallies. It’s clear that POTUS packed the house whereas O’Rourke was barely able to get a couple hundred.

He/she does realize O’Rourke’s first name is Robert or Bob for short?

I was there, inside, at the rally. Mr. Trump announced that though the venue only held 8,000, he thanked the fire department for getting in another 2,000. I suspect the 6,500 figure refers to the number of seats, but there were thousands in the standing areas. We had to leave early, and as we exited I was stunned to see a vista of THOUSANDS of people, in the cold and wind, watching POTUS on the jumbo screen.

Driving away from the venue, we were blocked by some protesters (maybe 200). We took another route and saw, perhaps, another 2 or 300 marching. That was it.

I don't care if President Trump was the only man at the border because he is right and seemingly alone in this fight. The left can AstroTurf retards at a drop of the hat so crowd size is fake. I remember Romney pulling incredible numbers during his campaign and it was irrelevant.

I stopped associating with leftards during the Obama era. There never is any reasoning,facts never matter and their minds will never change. They also are turning rabid in their ideology. Left and right will never get along again as things stand in America.

That’s right. When you add the inside crowd to what was outside, Trump’s rally size was about double the size of Robert’s.

The only real question is how many Beto supporters were paid to come to the rally?

You can't win this argument, because Libtards do not argue facts.

Ask your Libtard friend how many people were in the overflow crowd OUTSIDE of their respective venues.

If the enemy media did NOT cover it, then it was not
well attended.

Just like the big Presidents’ Day demonstrations across the country.

Hear anything about it.

It just didn’t happen.

The final videos showed a very large Beto crowd. But my spidey senses tell me that msm is not above showing a crowd from a different venue. No way of knowing unless an impeccable witness is available.

Local reporter at the rally stated the 6,500 was for the seats around the arena and did not include the standees on the floor. My guess would be to add a few thousand to the total adding in the floor.

Freepers like to say he is a joke, but he is a Rock Star to the Dems, and people turn out to see him. People need to quit pretending he, Harris, Booker, Sanders, and other liberal kooks are not a threat in 2020. The performance of O’Rourke, Sinema, and Abrams in solid red states and Gillum in FL shows the trend is against. 2 more years of Boomers dying off and brainwashed Millenials being pushed through our schools isn’t going to help things. Beto shouldn’t have been within 8% of Cruz. It was TEXAS! He outperformed Obama by a huge margin, and being far more “likable”, might do so nationally. O’Rourke is an attractive, charismatic, articulate candidate with an attractive family and access to unlimited personal wealth as well as huge backing. Taking him lightly will be a mistake. This place can be a great source of info, but If you don’t look outside of FR echo chamber to balance your news, then you are going to look like an idiot when you try to debate people.

The ones who attended Trumps rally were Americans, Betos crown waved Mexican flags and were mostly illegals and Californians.
