Okay, I think I've heard it all. If left wing media wants to defame Donald Trump for their own purposes, have at it. I am sure he can take care of himself. But, I am asked to believe Donald Trump paid $50.00 for 3 hours of time for thousands of people. Even for Donald Trump that is a stretch. Hundred of people, yes. Thousands of people, no.
You can't have it both ways. On one hand Donald Trump is going to displace other candidates from debates because he has a percentage approval rate and/or a base. Now today, he had no support in his audience in the room where he made an announcement
He made his announcement at Trump Towers. This is a picture of Trump Towers in NYC at Turtle Bay where some of the best eateries are located.
Anyone realize how many people work and live in Trump Towers? It is not an empty building where Mr. Trump and his family resides.
It is completely reasonable to believe there are many people in Trump Towers that would enjoy a political campaign for Donald Trump. If a memo went out to the business and residents in Trump Towers a few days before the event, I betcha many would turn out to hear him speak.
Like I said, if the Left Wing media wants to defame Mr. Trump they are welcome to do that, but, his popularity in right wing politics is either real or not in order to displace other candidates from the debate stage.

...In general, (click here) how something does on social media is a bad way to gauge success. In politics? It's especially dumb, as we've noted before. We're comparing apples to cameras to a 1973 Deep Purple LP when we pit Donald Trump launching Tuesday afternoon against Martin O'Malley launching on the weekend against Hillary Clinton launching a campaign that starts off 14 miles in front of the competition. And then we're using that comparison to try and predict tomorrow's lottery numbers. This is the first contested presidential campaign in which Facebook is so dominant. We have no baseline of comparison in politics....
I don't know how Mr. Trump measures his success in his campaign, but, all I've heard about Facebook and Twitter is the bragging of how many followers people and issues have.
Whatever.
