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.

most interesting to me about Trump is that no one has rolled out any dirt or scandal on Trump. One would think it would be out by now (similar to last elections “Caining”)
Lots of women in his life......no dirt.
I thought about it and have come to believe he’s clean. He plays by the rules, albeit fiercely. The best they had was his 4 bankruptcies in an extensive career of 100+ deals. Is that the best they have?
Tme will tell.
I”m sure there will be dirt and some of it will involve affairs during his earlier marriages. Also, it would easy for dirty tricksters to buy off a couple of low-level former employees.
Any really good stuff they’d want to save up for the weekend before a primary, but the other stuff they’re probably holding back until people start to pay more attention after Labor Day. Really, until the last week or two, they thought he’d implode on his own, and quickly too.
I don’t think voters are of a mood to pay too much attention to it, however—as the dirt on him in a sense only proves his point about the Establishment.
Nope.
I did think about it....but, to much work at my age, ahem.
I’m not a big fan of crowds myself.
I expect there will be a lot of Obama's government agencies there snapping pictures of all the radicals too.(Danger. Trump is unmanageable to TPTB)
(I love that his apron says "Be inspired" ;)
I wouldn’t be worried about that. Probably already on plenty of lists just being a FR regular.
Trump does slip up. His delivery is imperfect and he makes mistakes in his choice of words. But no one seems to care. I think people understand that when you are under attack all the time it’s easy to cherry-pick video-moments of slip-ups.
No big deal.
Looks like a meeting I often go to with free lunch. We just yawn away and wait for the meeting to be over so we can get the free lunch.
