(22,671 posts)The crowds were tremendous. Big tremendous crowds of very excited people and tens of thousands of cheering supporters, awesome enthusiastic cheering crowds outside. Trust me, they were there.

I feel for her. I've come to like her, though. I admire her persistance to stick with it.

(90,793 posts)Then he just kept going and going and became the presidential nominee.
It's been tough. She's been called out by Trump in full rant mode while she was standing in his screaming crowds. After one intense episode the Secret Service escorted her to her car as a safety precaution.
Katy has turned out to be pretty tough herself. And if I understand things correctly, sticking with this assignment (which after all they have not taken away from her) is going to be a helluva good career move.
I sure hope she writes a book.
She was raw as hell when she started, neat to see her growth over the year.
He calls her " Little Katy" an obvious attempt to intimidate her. I hope she sticks it out, writes a book, and makes a boat load of money, because she should be getting combat pay.

(5,271 posts)At his events there are plenty of empty seats inside but he knows the the local news shows will cover him making those claims about the fire marshals not able to let everyone in.
His bullshit backfired in my city though when our local ABC affiliate switched from his claim of thousands waiting to get in outside to their reporter outside with the throngs of protestors including one with a 'Fuck Trump" sign

(81,466 posts)I am more and more impressed with her week by week.
She was thrown into the pool without water wings. On a gig everybody thought would be over in six weeks.
Now she's a freakin' star!
I WAS joking earlier today that the happiest guy in the whole world is Chris Matthews' agent. Because ol' Tweety just may have ended Gary Johnson's career. And only weeks after getting Donald Trump to blurt out that women who get an abortion should be punished.
But now I think it's gotta be whoever Katy Tur's agent is. By now, I'm sure she has one. But if she doesn't, she'll easily be able to convince the best agents in the business to want to represent her!

(5,813 posts)Last year he came to a rally in Mobile, AL....a town about 60 miles west of where I live. People from all over the region came to see him, but not nearly in the numbers he reported. He claimed there were 35,000 people when real estimates were half that. And it has been that way ever since. There are the tRump numbers. Then there is reality. He is such a liar. I will be so glad when this whole thing is all over and he can slink back to his cave.

(9,145 posts)He exaggerated by 4,000 when he did a rally across the street from us. Just caused a riot, lied, and moved on. He threatened to return.
Blue Idaho
(5,057 posts)The campaigns know how to herd the "crowd" into a corner of a bigger space to create the illusion of a bigger audience. I wish the camera operator would step back and show a conver shot of the whole room. We all know Don the Con is a polished liar who finds it easy to lie his ass off. The M$M owes us an honest view of room occupancy.

(34,195 posts)Trump has told his rallies that there were 15,000 or 20,000 people outside trying to get in.
Delusional?

Maru Kitteh
(28,342 posts)and employ some kind of crowd-counting algorithm for every time he lies about the crowd size in his rooms?
Do you think that would matter to his deplorables? I don't.
I'm just glad to see any media calling that 70yr old orange fucking child on his bullshit.

(8,999 posts)just not accurately
he does not see actual sizes as we do
explains his claim re hands
he is a swirling vortex of contradictions

(14,837 posts)my wife and a friend drove up to try to see bernie and hillary in new hampshire the other day. She stood in line for 2 hours and said she and a couple of thousand other people were turned away. She said more people got turned away than were allowed in by fire marshall.
LeftRant
(524 posts)behaves like that as president (should he win). I know they just want to beat HRC, but you can only ignore reality for so long when everyone around you is like, "Uhh yeah, that sky is actually blue."
displacedtexan
(15,696 posts)Of course, he's lying about his crowds. Sadly, his followers don't care.
rivegauche
(601 posts)At this point, I think he is either a sociopath or a pathological liar. When he is called on an outright lie he always tries to deflect with some random idiocy. And thinks it doesn't matter if he lies. He seems totally incapable of telling the truth about anything.
rurallib
(62,448 posts)The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice he's just got to find
Another place to play"
The party's over and the crowd is leaving. Maybe he's flimmed his last flam.
