The Phoenix venue holds just 4100, so his count is a bit off.

You see, all the press coverage estimated the crowd at around 4,000 to 5,000.

That's just the liberal media trying to sabotage Donald Trump because they're scared of him, right? Well, not unless the Phoenix Convention Center is part of the liberal media conspiracy, and preemptively lied about the capacity of the North Ballroom. According to documents published on the center's website, that capacity is 4,100 people.

Now, 4,100 people is an impressive number to be sure. But it's not 20,000. Sorry Donald, your fish tales don't match with reality.

I guess 15,900 of them were named Harvey.

1. What i take from this story is in AZ there are thousands of viciously racist, highly violent

people and maybe I better never step foot there, and maybe I better stop bad mouthing the South

3. Good Lord, yes. Google "Sheriff Joe Arpaio".

And think about the people who keep re-electing him.

5. We had PSAs here in NM for a while

telling people who were going to AZ to make sure they had passports or birth certificates since NM driver's licenses would not be accepted as proper ID there. This is because we issue undocumented workers driver's licenses without the SSN in the hope they'll register and insure their cars, something that has been the case.

Mostly people here look at both AZ and TX and wonder what the hell is in the water.

8. Surely some of them are there for the laughs--hell, I'd go look!

I would love to see that comb-over up close!

15. Arizona and its neighboring states ...

I heard a report that people traveled to the event from California and New Mexico.

I wonder if they accounted for the paid actors?

19. In Az there are thousands of racist, violent people

Ever been to Fresno?

Here is the thing. Last Thursday Bernie announced he would be holding a town hall in Phoenix next Saturday. Registration started at about 9:30am. The room they booked held 2,500. My wife and I (in Tucson) were rsvp #5&6. By noon they had to change the venue to a place that holds 5,000. There is still almost a week to go for signups. There are a lot of good, progressive people in Arizona.

The Az. Democratic party knows they ran a really shitty job in the last election cycle but we know it and we are working on it.

20. Believe me I am not picking on AZ - I am making a point in my convoluted way.

I think it is Kern County in CA where a Brown person isnt safe, so yes, I know about racism being everywhere.

[lostnfound]

2. Did he have to pay 3000 of them to be there? Nt

[randys1]

6. I want that to be true but sadly I believe in many areas of this country he is loved.

A white man saying Brown people are by design evil and bad and so on, hell, they will make statues in his likeness.

[lostnfound]

21. I only say that because he was caught paying actors to attend a previous rally nt

[SamKnause]

4. Trump is a known liar.

Take anything he says with a grain of salt.

[MADem]

9. A YEUWWWWWJE liar, at that!!!

[Gothmog]

7. Trump also claims to be worth $9 billion

I have doubts about that number

[MADem]

12. Pfennigs, or céntimos maybe?

Maybe Saddam-era dinars? Rials with the Shah's face on them?

I know...JAMAICAN dollars!!!!!!

[jaysunb]

14. Pesos' maybe. n/t

[Gothmog]

22. To participate in GOP debates, Trump has to file his full FEC financial statements

I know that people would love to see Trump file something under oath

[bluesbassman]

13. Guess we know how his companies keep going bankrupt...

His math skills suck.

[samsingh]

16. he probably estimates his wealth and ideas in the same way

trump just may be a mentally sick liar.

[Stardust]

23. I think you may be right

[Vinca]

17. There are only so many "extras" you can hire in the Phoenix area.

[Octafish]

18. A hairdo of manufactured integrity.

Sculpted from the pee-lastic heart of solipsism.
