It was very disheartening to see the turn-out for tRump's last rally. WE are doomed if this wide spread.
I'd be interested to see an accurate estimate of the attendance. According to Fragilego Mussolini, 75k people showed up to his event in little Pickens, SC. I am...skeptical.
The local police chief put it at possibly up to 50k, but...
Maybe not...
Pre-rally estimates of 10,000 to 30,000 were made. During his remarks, Trump claimed the turnout was 75,000. Beach said he needed to get an accurate count from the Secret Service before providing a final number. Around 11 a.m., a secret service agent told the News there are 5,000 inside the gate and approximately 10,000 still in line.
I can see 10-15 thousand. In fact in my old career I had been onstage in front of 10 to 15 thousand people at music festivals. Fifty or 75 thousand? That's a whole different level. If you were expecting 10 or 15 and 50 or 75k showed up, your little venue and your little town would be overwhelmed.
Yes, Trump has hard-core fans who will drop everything and go to a rally. That's depressing, but I also think it's telling that Trump isn't exactly playing major market venues. He's drawing crowds in deep red rural areas, but in a lot of ways, he's like that 80s rock band that used to fill stadiums, but has been reduced to playing the state fair circuit. If Trump tried to hold a rally at the (fill in sponsor here) Stadium, it would be a bust. So he's targeting places like Pickens, SC and playing fairgrounds.
