So that there will be more people clamoring to get in the event than are actually in the venue. Media will cover the crowd outside more than the one inside.
It is so scripted by the trump people that it is obvious and anyone who has ever done political productions know exactly what he's doing. I did technical support for John McCain's and Palin's stops in Arizona including the Arizona Biltmore fiasco. Lighting, sound etc. This is an old ruse to convey to the rest of the world how HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!! Donald Trump is. They book a 5000 seat venue and it's just another stop on a long campaign.

But that will never stop GOP saying that meltdowns of DOW as of this year is due to Obama..LOL..CHINA is the cause..not Obama..But at least America is still way above all other Countries..otherwise my latest transfer of American funds would suggest so...LOL..

I'm a widow of an American VET..and yes get SS check..tho minimal..far less than 200.oo..but since our dollar is basically less than .070 ...I'm laughing all the way to the bank!!

Point is...Dow has always driven American view..but moreover..THEY control Politicians...in the meantime..regular folks still have to get by..as the top 10% don't give a care!! ..Those without have to make do with less..and even Government has declined to actually NOT increased payouts..ala SS payment SAME..no COL increase whether or not actual COL has increased ++++

Richey Rich type don't give a care....They don't care..losses is only on paper. for them...doesn't come out of their POCKETS!!

SHAME SHAME of politician's who continue to line those POCKETS!!

When interest rates rise to say 5-6%, and the interest on the debt exceeds $1T a year, (which it will one day), what federal programs do you think we should cut back on in order to not be bankrupt? Welfare? Or maybe we shouldnt build any roads or bridges that year.. Ban Social Security checks from going out?

Why would someone be stupid enough to wear a Bernie Sanders button to an opponents rally?

It took you a while but looks like you eventually came to what Trump has been saying. Why are we tethered to China by their crappy products? China could go down the drain and it shouldn't touch us.

I am a flaming liberal, but if Trump came to my city, I'd totally go to his event. Who doesn't want to see the circus when it comes to town?

As for the people saying people shouldn't protest, are you serious? Being able to protest, to show up to a political rally and protest a candidate you do not like is the very essence of democracy. It's the 1st Amendment in action. It's part of what makes America, America.

Yelling and denying thousands of people who are there to listen to someone is not protesting. It is disruption and you get kicked out. Try "protesting" Obama's speeches. See what they do.
