Trump v Warren rallies preview possible 2020 populist duel
The British Broadcasting Corporation ^ | September 17, 2019 | Anthony Zurcher

One doesn't have to squint too hard to see Monday night as a possible preview of a presidential general election campaign that will be at a frenzied pitch in just a year's time.

Standing in New York City's Washington Square Park before a crowd of more than 20,000, Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren gave an extended address where she pledged to fight Washington corruption and the vested corporate power that feeds it.

A few hours later, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, Donald Trump gave another one of his trademark campaign rallies in an arena filled with roughly 9,000 supporters (and more outside). He promised to fight the Washington elite whose policies, he said, threatened the lives and livelihood of regular Americans.

The president almost literally has been running for re-election since the January 2017 day he took the oath of office.

Ms Warren, while still trailing former Vice-President Joe Biden in national opinion surveys, is pulling even or ahead in numerous early state polls, including one recently conducted in convention-delegate-rich California.

She is very popular with the left wing. She has ignited their passion about big government solutions, and the crowds show it..

She’s a socialist. They think she can move to the center in the general, but President Trump has a whole trove of her lefty nonsense

The park only holds 10k so that’s the first lie.

20,000 in NYC is one neighborhood. Did she draw that? I don’t believe it.

The dems promised “crowd size” this election cycle

So they delivered

And they have the media to lie about it

The parks service claims the park holds about 8,000 people, I call BS even on that number, the park isn’t really that big and it has tons of stuff in the park to limit the number of people. If it holds 4,000 I would surprised.

Again, the media is lying and Warren is a proven liar

Wait till Psychojawea is on the debate stage with PDJT.

He’ll set her off like a runaway volcano; she’ll be shrieking racist sexist homophobe bigot islamophobe and waving her arms like the deranged harridan she is.

I’m on a Keto diet but I’ll have popcorn at the ready that night.

20,000? Srsly? Here’s a pic from the reno gayzette urinal of barnie’s rally at UNR last Friday the 13th. The paper said “hundreds” of supporters. Not from this pic.

Yup. Hundreds and hundreds. Maybe even thousands.

No way, NONE AT ALL, that Washington Square Park hold even 8,000 people!

First of all, there is a HUGE fountain there, that takes up a lot of space.

Secondly, it is NOT open space, but sidewalks, lots of wooden benches, and fenced off grassy areas.

And thirdly, from the pictures I've seen, people were NOT solidly packed in with it even looking as "full" of bodies as it would take to be so many thousands of people.

On a nice day, most of those people are in the park anyway. 40 years ago, all they did was play doggie frisbee and smoke weed.

Offers of “FREE STUFF” is popular! Jealousy of rich is quite prevalent. Distribution of wealth is populist.
