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.

He is one of the mentally toughest individuals I have ever seen.
And BTW, he has never had a drink or done drugs.
He does however drink Diet Coke...
A lot of people are talking about Donald’s mental illness and we don’t want it to take him down.
What would happen if we were to get to the general and this “issue” is still hanging in the air?....I’m concerned!LOL
Sounds like you should go first. TDS is overpowering for many.
Pray America wakes
Then getting a psychological analysis and putting it out there should be a problem for him. We don’t want people thinking that Donald Trump is mentally ill.
Post link to the “others” you are hearing from.
Otherwise your hearsay isn’t credible.
“He’s attracting Democrats, just another reason for conservatives to be suspicious of his candidacy.”
Since when did conservatives stop wanting jobs brought back here in the US?
Since when did conservatives support illegal immigration to take jobs away from American citizens?
You are the first person I have heard or read that says that. Are you listening to the voices again?
A person has to be mentally ill to run for the office. It’s in the penumbra of “natural born citizen.”
If it’s out there, perhaps you can provide a source or link. That’s usually appropriate for bizarre claims. In fact, it’s the only way for such a claim and claimant to have any credibility.
Historic!
Maybe if the Cruz supporter would equal the financial support with the hot air they expound the freepathon would be over
Jim should love this thread
lol
Trump already got a clean bill of health. Did you?
It seems to me that Trump haters are going nuts.
Your post brings a certain flair to the boring old trope of “concern troll” concerned about “other people” not liking Trump.
Don’t worry - be happy...;^)
How did such a smart guy ever come to praise and support single-payer health care, if he is so savvy?
It’s all over the internet. I’m not saying it’s credible, I’m just saying there’s a lot of concern out there. He should head off that concern right away.
Should all candidates do the same?
DUUUUCK! Incoming from splodey heads
I think you need to go see a psychiatrist. For your own good.
Thankfully, the United States constitution doesn’t prohibit Donald Trump from becoming the President because of any mental health issues that you perceive him to possess... erroneously.
