Donald Trump took his front-running campaign for the Republican presidential nomination to Pensacola, Fla., on Wednesday night. And, holy cow, did people come out in droves to see him.
Here's a photo of the crowd taken by WaPo's own Jenna Johnson.
*snip*
Trump's campaign claimed it gave out 20,000 tickets; the arena holds 11,500 people. According to Jenna's reporting, there were "at least 11,000" in attendance and "several thousand more were turned away."
Large crowds are the rule, not the exception, at this point for Trump. He had 8,000 people in Lowell, Mass., earlier this month; more than 2,000 showed up in Burlington, Vt., -- not exactly a conservative enclave -- to hear Trump speak last week.
I've written a lot about crowd sizes this election and how they remain an uncertain indicator of actual support. But, Trump's ability to draw thousands and thousands of people to hear him speak this close to actual voting -- we are 19 days from the Iowa caucuses -- suggests to me that the enthusiasm and passion he has sparked among a certain segment of the GOP base isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Seriously, I learned from the best. I’ve tried to carefully craft every word through what I’ve learned from Donald Trump. Which is maybe why people assume that I’m the one that’s mentally ill.
LOL Oh really? Sorry. . . seriously, I am.
You really got this libel thing going don’t you? Silly threats. I’ve never said Donald Trump is mentally ill. I’ve only heard it from others. Don’t think it’s true. Maybe you don’t know the law. Silly threats, you must not be a lawyer. We can be nice about this. You don’t have to make silly threats.
Yeah right... Lol! “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.”
See #183. You’re only half-clever.
What you are attempting with your troll posts about Trump’s mental state is as clear as freshly Windexed glass.
What we don’t need is Cruz’s eligibility hanging out there unsettled
like those hanging chads in Florida.
The RAT’s will create a lot of doubt and confusion about Cruz’s eligibility.
That will not help Cruz, if he is the nominee.
Not hard to find that concern out there. Google helps. You like to make silly threats.
Oh puhleeeeeze. If you thought Bush or McCain or Romney was sane you are certifiable.you are trying to be so clever.
I submit that current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has been certifiable and commit table since at least 2004. Didn’t interfere with his doing what he wantef
We detect you are getting nervous. :)
Maybe not now. Reagan’s transformation was gradual and clearly explained. Like Maobama’s “Christianity”, Trump’s conversion seems to have fallen from the sky.
What a back handed compliment. If you think he is Hitler just come out and say so coward
It won’t be silly when you hear from the Trump legal team.
I may not be a lawyer but then again, neither are you.
Been here since ‘98 and nobody even knows where you’re from.
That’ll get fixed, I’m certain of that.
And, of course, whenever the subject of "batcrap crazy" comes up, Joe Biden is the gold standard.
Chuckle.....I’ve read articles that Obama is a classic case of narcissiam, by world’s leading Drs. Adding to the narcissiam, Obama hates America and Americans. SO???
Concern trolling a concern troll!
Excellent!
Yes! Really nervous for Donald! I sure he hope can get this concern about his mental illness behind him.
Just observing to see how long he will be allowed to troll the thread. And if his seniority makes him zotproof
Reading some of his books, one finds Donald Trump has been concerned about America’s left turning for a number of years.
Everything bounces off Trump. This is actually the most lame to date. I hope it gets enough traction that the politicians and the media start with it. This will get him the support to put him over the top. This is tantamount to saying his supporters are also crazy - what a way to anger them and get them out in IA. So, please keep this up!
Trump is not Hitler. There, I admitted it. I don’t know what you are talking about, frankly, but if my admission makes you feel better......
