MSN: Half of Trump Rally Crowds, Which Aren't All That, Leave 30 Minutes or Less Into His Speech
And the proof is on Twitter, amazingly enough.
While Trump, Dr. Oz and Doug Mastriano were clustered around the open door of his plane at an airport in Latrobe, where perhaps 1,500 had gathered, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Josh Shapiro and John Fetterman were speaking to a crowd estimated at around 13,000 in the Liacouras Center on the campus of Temple University in Philadelphia. No one left that one early.
Trump places great value on comparing the attendance at his rallies to Democrats, denying the fact that his gatherings have been shrinking considerably, because they're just too numerous and too long for the attention span of the crowd he draws. Rarely when I see a note on social media from someone who has attended one show pictures of the crowd. He blames the news media for deliberately not showing the crowd but they're instructed not to take pictures and are escorted out when they do.
In Latrobe, Pennsylvania, in a heavily Republican county this past Saturday, at an airport, the organizers set up about 1,500 chairs, which didn't completely fill, though people did stand around in the spaces behind the seats. But reporters who managed to capture pictures showed a lot of wide open space and not all that many people. The press section was largely empty, because they've quit coming to be abused. It seems that he thinks the size of a crowd is a measurement of the size of the vote, even though the largest venue in an area could only hold a fraction of the actual number of voters. This one wasn't even close.
And in response to his statement, "Can Joe Biden draw this kind of a crowd," well, yes, at just about every stop he makes.
