Attendance was dampened and speakers and featured musical acts stayed away as about 500 protesters, some shouting "NRA go away," and "Shame, it could be your kids today," jeered attendees outside the George R. Brown Convention Center.
.....
Video of the main auditorium in Houston, which holds about 3,600 people, showed it to be about half-full as former President Donald Trump took the stage late Friday afternoon.

I think the only thing he has left to look forward to is a few guilty verdicts, sentences, and time in an overly comfortable Club Fed.

It's encouraging to see the CON turnout looking thin and anemic.

The crowd OUTSIDE looks energized and muscular! And THAT is a comfort and a reaffirmation all by itself.

that tRump's appearance was best at the biggest event ever. Don't trust photos and your own eyes, believe him instead. Just ask Kellyanne Conway if you want the truth.

DON'T let him back on Twitter - no, no, no!

Just let someone else show him these fiascos, and let him realize what a LOSER he is.
