Trump Disputes Warrens Crowd Size, Says Anybody Can Get a Crowd in Manhattan

[DrFunkenstein]

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday en route to California, Trump rejected the significance of Warren’s Monday night masses — and with no evidence rebutted her crowd count — saying that “anybody” can attract crowds “standing in the middle of Manhattan in the most densely populated area of the country.”

“I get these crowds in areas that nobody’s ever seen crowds before,” Trump continued. “Pretty amazing. Certainly if I went to Manhattan, if I went there — number one, she didn’t have 20,000 people, and number two, I think anybody would get a good crowd there.”

Nonetheless, the multitudes who gathered after a light rain to hear Warren’s plan to fix what she describes as systematic corruption — and to cheer her rebuke of Trump as “corruption in the flesh” — provided clear evidence that Warren, even in a Democratic primary, can compete on the same terms as a president who revels in crowd size above almost all else.

...

Warren’s crowds show “that not only does she have broad reach — she has broad enthusiasm,” said Rebecca Katz, a liberal strategist who hasn’t endorsed a candidate in the presidential primary. To defeat Trump in the general election, she said, Democrats will need to nominate someone who generates the same excitement — pointing to the long line of Warren supporters who waited until nearly midnight for photos of her as one indication of her appeal.

“They were staying at her events for hours and hours after she finished,” Katz said. “There’s a lot of talk about raising money and electability, but there’s nothing nearly as important to winning in 2020 as voter enthusiasm.”

6. I'm sure he could draw a big crowd in Manhattan.

But it wouldn't be a crowd of his brainwashed MAGAts. Since he's about as popular in Manhattan as a case of Ebola, the crowd would consist of thousands of pissed-off protesters demanding his impeachment.

7. I live in NYC. Everyone really hates Trump here.

I walk by Trump Tower every day. I have not walked by once when I haven't seen people giving that building the finger. He would get crowds if he came to NYC but it would be filled with people who despise him. The boos would be deafening and the protest signs would be funny.

8. Why do people get hung up on crowd size. Didn't help Bernie or Sarah Palin who had large crowds

9. I'll bet she didn't bus even one person in from out of state or pay any of them - trump did both.

10. But there's only ONE person who can open fire in Manhattan

and still get away with murder.
