PoliticusUSA: Nobody Shows Up For Trump Rally In Florida As Trump’s Big Boasts Draw Smaller Crowds

By Jason Easley on
Wed, Nov 2nd, 2016, 4:31 pm

According to the fire marshall, an Orlando, FL venue that holds 10,000 was a quarter to a third full, just moments before Donald Trump's rally was set to begin.

=snip=

See all that green space? That is what a dying presidential campaign that is losing looks like. It is a political fact of life that dying presidential campaigns see their crowds drop off in the final days of the campaign. It happened to John McCain in 2008. It happened to Mitt Romney in 2012, and it is happening to Donald Trump in 2016.

Republican Congressional leaders have already begun planning how they are going to handle a Hillary Clinton presidency. The election is far from over, but while Clinton continues to draw full houses wherever she goes, Trump’s crowd size has been dropping off for weeks.

Now - How do I know this is a hit piece ? - Look at the shadows cast by a few of the people who are out in the open. They are at about equal to the height of the caster. The Trump rally was at 4PM - the shadows should be longer than the caster is tall. - by almost a factor of three.. So, Id say this photo was actually shot somewhere around 2PM.

Don't buy it DUmmies ? - Play with this handy online calculator -  http://planetcalc.com/1875/  Google the Lat. & Long. yourself, enter -5 as the time zone (the calc is set to GMT) - set an arbitrary figure for height - I used '6' - and set the clock to 4PM (1600) - compare your result to the photo, and realize you have been played.

Don't look like 4pm on Nov 2 to me.  Sun looks a little too high.  meh... what do I know.  I'd guess the best thing to get the truth is to find the local paper and see what they have to say.

Exactly - I figure the photo is from give or take 2PM.

An extremely partisan site, however the actual article claims the pic was taken 'shortly' before the event, and that the fire marshal told the reporter the venue holds 10,000 and was 'Only a quarter to a third full.'  Ummm, that's still two or three thousand people, ten times the size of Hitlery's crowd's (And I use the term 'Crowd' loosely) at many of her events.  If the photo is even what it purports to be, which is always up for grabs with Dem writers.

Total and absolute BULLSHIT.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Floridatoday.com has a report and  photos of the well-attended rally.

ORLANDO — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told a crowd of thousands of cheering supporters that he will buck the odds and win the state of Florida — and the White House — six days from now, on Election Day.

Oh my.

Quote
Marie Maxime, a Haitian native who is now an Orlando stay-home mother, carried a white Trump-Pence sign to the rally. She was a lifelong Democrat until Trump ran for president.

"I think Trump can do the job. I think he's a man of integrity and honor. And I think he can stand on his word," Maxime said.

I assume, as someone who gets his political news and information exclusively from Skins's island and Manny's jackass message board, that this is the only black person voting for the (R) candidate?
apres moi, le deluge

Milo Yiannopoulos "It has been obvious since 2016 that Trump carries an anointing of some kind. My American friends, are you so blind to reason, and deaf to Heaven? Can he do all this, and cannot get a crown? This man is your King. Coronate him, and watch every devil shriek, and every demon howl."

Why oh why would a POC leave such a Caribbean Paradise? Especially after the Clinton Foundation did so much for it? :bolt"
