"Wonder how many of those people in the initial photo were paid to be there?"

There are many people wondering the same thing. Who paid for the buses? Consider it is 450 miles each way from Broward County to Washington DC. That will include the cost for the driver's overnight stay in a hotel and 15% gratuity. At the higher price per mile of $5.50, that's $4,950 plus $742.50 (gratuity) plus $237 for hotel = $5929.50 for one 55 passenger charter. If the students paid for the charter out of their own pocket it would be $107.81. I doubt that will happen. Will the students stay in the bus overnight? If not, the costs for hotel must be considered. For instance, a quick check showed that one night at the Phoenix Park Hotel is $237/room for up to 4 adults on March 23rd (the night before the March 24th march on Washington). If some generous Lefty, that's about $3258.75 for 55 students. For the cost of the charter plus the one night's hotel stay, that's a grand total of . . . drum roll. . . .$9188.25! Ouch!

So, for each busload of protesters from Broward County to Washington DC that's $9188.25. Those are not "crums."

Pocket change for people like Soros. There are many who are willing to pay such a meager amount just to make Trump look bad.
