Trump isn't above paying people to go to his rallies. In fact, when Trump announced in June 2015 his run for President at Trump Tower, NYC - yup, Trump hired actors from Extra Mile Casting in NYC to stand at the bottom of the escalator.

Not only that but something like 28 cities report that the Trump administration still owes them anywhere from hundreds of thousands to MILLIONS of dollars for these rallies, which Trump has so far REFUSED to PAY FOR.

If you consider Bush/Cheney's not-so-subtle bullying tactic "Either you're with us, or you're against us" as bi-partisan support, then so be it. smile

Yup, for campaign security. Trump is a known welsher, he doesn't pay his bills. Best to get the money upfront, or provide no security for Trump. Hmm

Thanks again for showing how bigoted you are by claiming that the Trump rallies are Klan rallies because you don't like him. Your insult to the great and very liberal state of Minnesota is deeply offensive. Your claim that there are 20,000 Minnesotans who would be in any way associated with the Klan shows not only your bigotry but it is also an example of your ignorance about the state of Minnesota. It is an insult to the patriot and former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. He was a leader of the fight for civil rights when he was a Senator from MN in 1948 and during his entire career.

At the rally in Minneapolis were there 20,000 people in the Target Center for the Trump rally and about 10,000 people who couldn't get in. There is a reason why the Trump campaign is not paying for the rallies. That reason is that in Minneapolis the city tried to charge the Trump organization $500,000 for a rally while it charged the Obama organization $20,000 for a rally in the same location. Of course the Trump organization refused to pay that much. Free Beacon This link will be ignored or not believed because it is from a conservative source.

How many lies in one article does it take to determine a source's reliability?

Quote
Most of the arena’s 19,356 were full at the start of Trump’s speech, and some supporters stood on the arena floor. But the crowd – especially in the upper bowl – dwindled as he spoke.

It’s unclear what record the president was referring to. Target Center’s website says its record attendance at an event was 20,200 for a U2 concert in 2005. And the Minnesota Timberwolves’ attendance record is 20,412, set at a game against the Golden State Warriors in 2017, said Dan Bell, a team spokesman.

The president’s claim of 25,000 people standing outside was inflated. FOX 9 crews stationed outside the arena saw a few hundred people watching the speech in an overflow area.

Senator ... your Sen Clinton citation is an apples and oranges comparison. Neo-conservatives/tea people used the slogan "you're with us, or you're against us" to pit one group of Americans against another. Sen Clinton used it to compare nations against the principles America stands for.

If you don't see the difference ... well ... that would be one of the reasons etc etc

Yeah but that's not a real lie. In fact all the criticisms were liberal lies. Mr Trump told the truth.

You can not win trying to convince a Trump supporter of anything critical of Mr Trump .... and there is so much to work with
