Competing rallies....

Recommended Posts

Trump and Beto were both speaking tonight... Beto at an march/rally that was put on by a few different organizations in El Paso, and Trump at a MAGA rally.

Here's the thing though, they were right across the street from each other... about a thousand feet separated them. Trump apparently touted the size of his event as being 35,000 in an arena that seats like 10,000, and that Beto had 200 people. 

The law enforcement estimates...

So the police estimates have them at about the same size.... I mean, even given how unpopular Trump is in a city like El Paso, I never would have guessed that even estimated crowd sizes would have been similar. It looks like Beto still has a lot of enthusiasm and has somehow kept his momentum through losing the Senate race. Who knows if he's going to end up running, but man this is going to be interesting. Harris pulled an estimated crowd size of around 20,000 when she officially launched her campaign... Beto pulled 10,000 - 15,000 at an event where he was just touted as being a speaker for. There's certainly "star power" and momentum for the Democrats right now.

That photo may have been from earlier. This gives a different perspective

That's a really interesting perspective, and it does look like the police estimate could be very valid when you compare the video to the other pictures from when he was speaking. Also, he really needs to learn what to do with his hands when he's speaking. :lol:

Unquantified crowd size comparisons are equivalent to drunk dick size comparisons. Republicans, Democrats, and their respective propaganda media outlets are getting ridiculous with this shit.

Why does it even matter?  TDS...

It really is a sad state when unhealthy obsession turns to crowd size.

My point here was more to show that the Democrats are just as fired up and motivated as Trump's base is. A former congressman drew somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 people while the President drew about 5,000 more right across the street. Harris drew 20,000 when she announced her candidacy, and Klobuchar had people out in the snow while she announced hers. Like I said in my original post, even given how unpopular Trump is in El Paso and the surrounding area, I never would have guessed that the March for Truth event would have been able to draw that size crowd.

And my point is that it's February 2019, a long way off from November 2020, and we've already got Team Cheeto and the Dems tweeting out rally size comparisons. Jesus ...

Imagine how big a Michelle Obama crowd would be. 

Mrs. SGF thinks it's Michelle who should run. Having thought about it, I tend to agree as she checks off a number of Democrat boxes: name recognition, racial minority, female, personable, photogenic. Granted she hasn't held public office but Trump is proof that is no longer a prerequisite for the presidency.

Boom goes the dynamite.

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

Michelle Obama certainly has the qualifications to run for president. I personally don't believe one must have X number of years as a baby kissing politician to do the job. That all said, I'm certain my philosophy and world view don't align with hers so there's no way in hell I'd want her to win.

She appears to have the character, that would be an advantage over what we've been use to lately.

Agreed. Mrs. Obama is a highly intelligent, well-educated, articulate, career accomplished, and from what I know an amazing wife and mother.
