Trump: They Need Larger Venues For My Town Halls While Jeb Has A Very Small Crowd, They're Sleeping

At a rowdy town hall on Wednesday night in Derry, New Hampshire held by Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate took a jab at his fellow presidential hopeful Jeb Bush, who happened to be holding a town hall at the same exact time.

Trump talked about how he has to continually change venues due to the amount of people he draws while Jeb "has a very small crowd" that is "sleeping."

"I'm going to be in Alabama, and there was going to be 500 people, and the room held about 1,000, and they heard that we were there. And within about two minutes, that room wasn't big enough. So they went to a room that held 2,000 people, and they heard that wasn't big enough. And now they went to the convention center, and they heard that wasn't big enough. They're going to end up being 30 to 40,000 people in Alabama."

"Right down the road, we have Jeb," Trump said. "Very small crowd. We have 2,500."

Trump boasted he had a live audience of 2,500 and several overflow rooms.

The girl in the green shirt on the back wall in the middle looks like she is engaged in covering up a cavernous yawn, and the girl on her right in the green seem to be holding up the wall with her head.

Well, Jane, you seem so reasonable, I don’t think I’m paranoid anymore. Thanks, you made good points. I completely forgot about that first lady.

Well, Trump ID’s the guy as a vet. He asked, “Are you a vet? You look like a vet.” The guy replied: “Thirty-four year veteran”.

I think vets are just sick and tired of what’s been going on, with them and active military, for the last seven years.

LOL...she looks like she’s wondering why in the world she volunteered to sit in on this snoozefest.

I have compressed them all to where they are very tiny and fast loading files...so the few dial-up Freepers can enjoy them.

I wonder if Jim Rob would mind a vanity post displaying all I have made up so far. People could bookmark it and use the images when they saw fit. :-)

I think I will do it, the mods can delete it if it’s a silly idea :-)

Yeah. You’re right. But I don’t think a vet is likely to speak like that in a public forum. But I could be wrong, as everyone is an individual, and maybe he was that fed up.

I’ll never know for sure, but I’m so impressed how Donald sidestepped that potential landmine. Smart man.

Why not? I saw a thread today that was a Trump cartoon thread. I think it was maybe meant to be derogatory, but not sure if it ended up that way.

Ping me/us to your thread, if you post it, please. TIA.

He’s handling the press the same way. Chris Coumo tried to ask a couple of gotcha questions to him, tonight. Trump brilliantly turned them around, or pivoted to a great policy point.

It actually reminds me of those seminars where you go and hear some dude talk for an hour about purchasing a time share but you only showed up to get the free dinner they promised if you sit and listen LOL

Trump is a smart cookie he knows when he is being set up. He knows the media is waiting for him to make a mistake and the left, well they are known for sending people over to these kind of campaign events to try and stir up trouble

Is Trump a flawed man for the extreme times we're in? I don't think so. The forces of evil have been unleashed with Muslim extremism and the abilities of terrorists to wreak havoc, globally. Decent folks have been pretty much taking it, while our pols play it for their advantage.

Along comes Trump. Look at everything they've thrown at him, in a period of two months. Keep in mind the total confidence of the elites that they could stop anyone from getting in the way of their agenda.

And how does Trump respond? It's brilliant. He puts on such an outrageous show that it cannot be ignored. We're believing he can build the wall, have the violent illegals out of the US in a few days, bring in the most brilliant minds to negotiate for us, and pulverize ISIS. Could a lesser personality change attitudes in time to save us?

Jeb's not a nice man. He let Terri Schiavo die a horrible death. He doesn't put his US citizenship above his Mexican family. He stays in the race, not because many US citizens want him to be president, but because people bought him for over $100 million dollars, not to win, but to control who does.

I think as I type (that happens when I can't sleep). Think it through. Who's giving up the most by running for President? I contend it's Trump. He's doing it for the nation. Jeb's doing it because he was told that it's what he's supposed to do and he's entitled to it.

Today, I sat through a 45 minute presentation by a USGS representative on stream monitoring systems that was more exciting than Jebs meeting.

Yeah, I saw that too. He’s way too smart for them. The far lefties are becoming very worried. I saw Geraldo tonight on Hannity and he looked nervous and glassy eyed. I’ve never seen him be anything but self assured in his defense of the status quo. It was really funny to watch. If you’re interested, here’s the link:

Love your pic. Gal in the middle wearing the green shirt and leaning up against the flag looks like she is stifling a yawn. None of them appear to be in the least bit excited about being there. Most of them appear to be of my generation - maybe it was past their bedtime.

“I have no problem with a flawed man, not even with some who are deeply flawed. I figure there was only one man that ever walked the earth who was perfect... you know who I mean. God sometimes raises up a Gideon to carry out an important task... maybe we are being given a final chance... I have my hopes up.”

The one you mean said…’be ye perfect, as your Father in Heaven is perfect’. That means you, me and could even mean The Don…Gideon 2016.

The best show ever! Season two is filming now in Albuquerque, up to Episode 5 or 6, about half way through. Ed Begley, Jr. is playing an opposing lawyer on the class action suit. Can’t wait.

Yes, she’s bored and wants to be home in bed. And the guy next to her is freeping or reading a book or something. Is this photo from his event today in NH right down the street from Trump’s??
