Wow, a crowd of 500. It is over, maybe Trump and his 15,000+ crowds should quit. /s

He had the courage to go into the heart of liberalism in the Twin Cities.

I’ll give him kudos.

At least they reported the crowd. I have noticed most Cruz rallies don’t mention crowd sizes. It’s clear why.

“Conservatives in St. Paul?” What was that about 300?
