Donald Trump's ability to draw a crowd has flabbergasted even one of left-leaning MSNBC's talk-show hosts, Joe Scarborough, who took to national airwaves to say the billionaire is beating all records - that his ability to pack a room with eager listeners exceeds anything even much-loved Ronald Reagan could do.
"I was at George W. Bush's campaign rally in 2004 at the final stages of that unbelievable race in early November," the "Morning Joe" host said, Breitbart reported. "I saw Reagan come to Pensacola twice in 1980. I saw the crowds. I never saw anything like that in my hometown before."
Scarborough was referencing Trump's recent appearance in Pensacola, Florida, and the thousands who assembled to hear him speak and show him support. Scarborough once represented a portion of Florida that included Pensacola when he served in Congress as a legislator.
"It's absolutely staggering. Here we are, in early January. I'll be honest with you. I guess seeing it in your own hometown, I don't get it as far as the size of these crowds go," he said. "It's like nothing I saw with Reagan. It's like nothing I saw with Bush. It's nothing I saw with any political candidate, what I saw come out of Pensacola."
Scarborough said Trump's rivals weren't likely to draw that size of crowd - that Sen. Marco Rubio "would get 150 people at an event" and Sen. Ted Cruz, "probably get double, probably get 300 to 400 people at an event," he said, Breitbart reported.

Did he get a thrill running up his leg?
Whoa nellie, slow-down nag, whoa dere....let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Nobody can out-Gipper the Gipper.
Damn, Joe done got hisself a tingle. LOL
PING
People, rightly, feel like they are losing their nation....that will bring out crowds.
They feel they don’t have a say anymore. Pols are just sellouts to globalist banksters.
Seems like on FOX they have decided that Trump will win the primaries - this surprisingly includes Krauthammer. And they already are pushing for Rubio for VP. That would be a bad decision. Rubio is the polar opposite of Trump. Memorized answers, no record of accomplishments, lazy - unwilling to show up for important Senate votes, for amnesty and Muslims, etc.
I agree with you on Rubio.
Predictions about the nomination are tough in this environment, with proportional delegates designed to toss the Convention into utter chaos.
People are scared & angry. Makes for a different kind of election.
Heidi called she need money after debate.
I told her, I will not contribute for Canadian election.
And muslims.
Why stop there when the Cruz supporters are both.
