I was pleased to see Senator Sessions (R-AL) welcome Trump to Mobile.
Whatever other events occur in the facility, it holds 43,000 people. So, conclusions can be drawn about how many were actually there.
Trump is a long-standing liberal and has proposed mostly liberal policies but he and Sessions share a common vision for a radicalized immigrant policy (even though Alabama's attempts at a similar policy proved to be disastrous). Trump doesn't talk about the costs and extra taxes required to implement his plan. Hopefully that is forthcoming.
Note that the phrase is 'for all intents and purposes'.
Trump has a good chance of winning in Alabama, especially if Senator Sessions endorses him. There's speculation that Sessions could be our next US Attorney General.

doesnt really matter. point is, it was a high school stadium 50 years before South Alabama ever had a football program, and still host them most Thursday and Friday nights. It isnt their stadium, they are a tenant, The high school teams have more of a claim than they do.
As for Trump winning Alabama, well duh. Mitt Romney came in 3rd in Alabama to Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. That is with or without Sessions endorsement( who by the way, rarely comes to Mobile).
The photo is from the local CBS affiliate i believe. both FOX and NBC have similar ones from the same angle as well as ones from the other endzone looking back at the empty stands, but they are copywritten or something because they wouldnt post the other night. I have also seen pictures from many of my liberal friends who went.
Again, im not understanding why CNN has continued to puff up this 30,000 number.
If you watched CNN the night of the speech, that photo looks like what the stadium looked like about a half an hour before Trump arrived. The CNN guy who was on air at the time even had a discussion about it with his panel (one of them, a Hispanic woman, worked for Bush) as to it not being the big crowd expected and why did Trump's staff allow them to pick that venue. That was when the Bush (can we say desperate-looking) plane flew over the stadium. However, by the time Trump did arrive, the same CNN guy said the seats had filled in quite a bit from before even though it was not 40,000. I don't know the CNN on line personalities so I don't know his name. I watched CNN all night and not Fox News because Fox News was doing taped shows and only cut to the speech where as CNN was live all night covering the speech and both of their before and after shows were devoted to discussing it. The guy who did the after show was named Lemon but I didn't catch the name of the guy who did the show before and during the speech.
here's the entire transcript of the interview with sarah obama that the birthers believe she claimed obama was born in kenya. she never does and states that he was born in hawaii:
here's a breakdown of all the birther cases. obama has been a defendant in very few and most of those were dismissed for lack of standing. there is nothing to support trump's claim.
i'm not sure what evidence i could show to prove someone doesn't exist except to point out that trump has never provided anything to support their existence.
trump's claim is most likely a lie.
D): a HI COLB
it is a birth certificate and meets all the federal standards for proof of birth ( you can check with your local passport office ) but if you need more here's the HI department of health directly and officially confirming all the information to the AZ secretary of state:
trump has since stated he never made the claim that nobody remembers obama. here's his words from an interview on "good morning america":
"The reason that I have a little doubt — just a little — is because he grew up and nobody knew him. When you interview people — if I ever got the nomination, if I ever decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten, they'll remember me. Nobody ever comes forward. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life. It's very strange. The whole thing is very strange."
so...... that's another trump lie.
G): attendance at AZ rally
trump claimed 15,000. this from convention center officials:
"According to [ Convention Center Director John Chan ], ushers stopped letting people in after 4,169 people had been admitted. He says the remaining 1,000 or so people who were in line outside were told that capacity had been reached and "They were turned away." He added that happened at 2:55 pm, about an hour after the event began."
The above photo is why you never saw the news pan to the other half of the stadium.
That is because it's a photo before the event started. As noted repeatedly in the national press, people continued to come in as the speech progressed.
30,000 were at the event.

Yes indeed. That is a photo taken before the event even started.
