weasels and liars.
um... closer to 870,000
but who’s counting
This is why I haven’t seen the alphabet network news in 15 years.
Although after this election, and the next, it may be worth tuning in just to see the anguish on the news reader’s faces.
BWAHAHAHAHA! STOP it! Yer killing me! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
This writer has a future at a lounge in the Poconos...if it’s still there!
There were a LOT of people there.
Honestly, numbers have been guesstimated, distorted, and exploited for political gain at rallies for so long, it’s hard to believe numbers for any event that happens where tickets aren’t scanned like at a sports arena.
If there were only 87000 people present, given the size of the crowd, than many many events in the past that have been quoted as having huge numbers were certainly overstated.
The NBC evening news said hundreds of thousands. I thought Lester Holt was going to choke...
More See B*** S***; the crowd has already been estimated at nearly a half a million be several REPUTABLE sources.
Dozens.
MSM communists are trying to pretend this is not happening.
I was there and it was packed (like sardines in some places) between the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monuments. I could hear but never saw the stage as I walked the perimeter. Seemed like more people than the big one last year. My guess is 250,000 or more.
I heard more like half a million.
Yep, looks like 87,000 to me, to the far right within the reflecting pool treeline perhaps...
SeeBS news LIES.
CBS, ABS, NBS. All BS!
(stole that from Rush>
I plan to watch election night on MSNBC. I want to see how Rachel, Keith, Ed, Chris Mathews, etc. spin the bad news for Democrats that night. And if they have to report the worst, such as Democrats losing control of at least one house of Congress, I would love to see their reactions to that, as election returns come in.
