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.

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.

You are so full of shit you stink.
You were a lying snake before, and you’re still a lying snake.
Explain it to the Secret Service agents when they come knocking on your door, ya idjit.
Yes, I am not sure why some people fail to understand the basic facts— 1)There is a 100 percent chance if Cruz is the nominee that Democrats will challenge him as NOT being a naturally born citizen-— 100% 2)The determination of whether Cruz is eligible will not be made by Mark Levin— That determination will likely be made by Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the same group that found Obamacare to be constitutional..
Bull****.
No; I think you’re thinking of a rally in Iowa maybe 3 or 4 days ago. It was in a small venue, and the crowd was pretty tame. He cut it short.
If I were you, here’s what I think I’d do: (1) Enroll in a Remedial Grammar course, and (2) find those little pills in the medicine cabinet and TAKE THEM.
That’s the fallacy promoted by the GOPe to keep conservatives quiet.
Where does the Constitution authorize the protection of jobs? What clause, what article?
“Republicans are going to have to ask themselves the question about Trump: ‘Do we want a candidate who could be in a mental hospital in two years?’”
I smell hot buttered T R O L L
Anyone else ?
Many jobs have been lost because the borders were open and many jobs have been lost because of trade deals that benefitted the political insiders at the expense of American workers. These things come under the prevue of the President.
Sounds as though THAT poster should be in a padded cell right now!
They are starting to come out. Right on schedule : )
Democrats are not known for playing fair.
GREAT PICTURE !
Three weeks before the election—you watch.
Just WHO is "talking about how Trump is going to have a mental breakdown"; didums? The voices coming from your fillings in your teeth?
Some people here are desperate, very confused, and should take some time off, so that they stop being so upset.
