Make That 20,000 Not 30,000 Show Up At Trump’s Southern Strategy
The Donald wants to prove he can make it in the South.
Trump fans came by the thousands, driving from the Florida panhandle, from Mississippi, from Tennessee and Texas. Traffic was backed up for more than a mile.
On the street, Olaf Childress, a neo-Confederate activist, gave out copies of “The First Freedom” newspaper, which had headlines about “Black-on-white crime,” “occupied media” and “censored details of the Holocaust.”
The most-enthusiastic Trump backers began arriving at the stadium at dawn, hoping to get a spot close to the stage…
Trump chose Mobile for his big rally in part because it is the hometown of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R), an immigration hard-liner who has been counseling Trump and helped him develop his immigration policy paper. Trump brought Sessions onstage. The senator put on a white “Make America Great Again” hat. (“These hats are hot as a pistol,” Trump quipped.)
But there is plenty of resistance to Trump’s candidacy here. “My plea to my conservatives is, ‘Don’t get so far out in right field that we can’t talk to anyone but ourselves,’ ” said Jack Edwards, who represented the Mobile area in Congress for two decades.

The corp media is swallowing the bullshit he spews. Just this morning on This Week they were talking about the term anchor baby, when Trump said it they said it was ok, but when Jeb! said it, well not ok. See the corp media giving Trump a pass for being an ass.

The only thing I see is a minority of the total number of registered voters in the US, and that’s giving all the chumps in this picture the benefit of the doubt. Who knows how many are actually registered to vote?

Agreed, and more numerous than people realize.
