After several changes of venue, Trump finally had his rally in Mobile, Alabama and it was Huuuuuuge. Seriously, it was really huge. Trump spoke to about 40,000 supporters at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile in his biggest rally to date.
Interestingly enough there are only two candidates for president who are seriously packing in the supporters. One is Trump, of course, but the other is aging commie hippy Bernie Sanders who is vying for the Democrat nomination. What is most interesting is that neither Trump nor Sanders are the “norm” for their party! Looks like the electorate on both sides are sick and tired of the regular politician and the party standard bearers.
In any case, Trump really wowed them in Mobile…
As many as 40,000 people crammed into Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama, to greet GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump Friday evening in what is being called the largest 2015 presidential primary campaign event of the season.
Some attendees traveled from as far away as Florida and California to attend.
Meanwhile, a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Friday showed Trump has widened his lead over fellow GOP candidates, as nearly 32 percent of Republicans say they support him – up from the 24 percent cited a week ago.
Amanda Mancini, who flew in from Los Angeles, told CNN she’s joining a new movement called “Women for Trump.”
“I wanted to be part of it,” she said. “I initially thought it was going to be small, and I thought Trump wouldn’t be coming to me in California, so I would have to come to him.”
Thousands more watched online. Even people in the Netherlands tuned in to see Trump.
At this point it is awfully hard to see Trump “going away” like so many of the pundits have opined, isn’t it?
For those interested, here is a video of Trump’s full speech.
