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.

Thank you. It’s getting to be just unbearable. They need their own ‘backroom’ somewhere so they can stay isolated on certain threads and duke it out w/o everyone else having to wade through the juvenile personal attacks. From both sides!
Thank you so very much. May God always bless you and your family.

Figures that PMSNBC would favor a liberal Democrat like Trump over a real American like Reagan.
The MSM love Trump.
Love it.
.
I didn’t know Trump had a roadster.
No demand.
.
The loan is a very minor issue, especially since it was quickly repaid, not forgiven like most loans to politicians end up being.
Trump just wants it to be bigger. (so does Hillary, especially, since she will face Cruz in the general election)
You were right.
Why do you keep putting your home videos on the net?
.
When you’re pushing a loser line Donnie, you take any source you can get.
I heard you had taken on a new handle.
Good to see you around for this election.
Could be more interesting than the first Xlinton regime events
No it isn’t and the Cruz supporters who ALL have poo pooed this and other problems Ted has, are in for a rocky road and tears.
How old are you....12?
Nita that is a good suggestion. Why not message Jim
Or just keep pushing the abuse button
Maybe we should keep a list. It’s just a few on either side
He was also on Sean's radio show and quadrupled down on the NY thing. NOT GOOD !
I worked on Reagan's two winning presidential campaigns, Ted is NO Reagan at all.
Got you too.
I’m actually 17 going on 75. Thanks for asking.
Thank you. I get so tired of people comparing Cruz to Reagan.
