nobody made that argument. nice attempt at a straw man.

trump claimed it was a "record breaking" capacity crowd of 12,000 ( which would be more then capacity ). the video taken during the speech shows ( at best ) the venue half filled ( 6,000 ). trump is clearly lying.

Again - to the Trump haters - does it really matter? You are not voting for him - don't think that you'll change the minds of the many here that will by continuing your rhetoric.

The man is pulling in more people than any of the other candidates - except for Bernie in just a few instances. Don't you wish your candidate had that kind of draw!

I don't care how many people the candidates pull into the rally - I care that the candidate I choose will serve me best as President. Whether he can only pull in 2 supporters or 20,000 supporters to his rallys.

Capacity is this.

7,175 Permanent seats
3,044 Portable seats on arena floor
10,195 Maximum seated capacity

But, there were people standing too. Lots of them.

no they don't. you can clearly see the majority of seats empty in the background and the crowd dissipating half way across the floor. are you arguing that the video is fake?

Furthermore, the 10,195 is the seated number for sports events.
the article clearly states that floor capacity is included.

obviously it did to trump. he needed to lie and claim "record breaking" attendance to a half-full arena.

I did. That is why people were standing shoulder to shoulder in the courtyard. Same thing happens at Rock Concerts. They have to block off part of the venue for media equipment.

Pardon me - but show me a politician that doesn't lie - sorry - dear Hillary's husband's lies are much more concerning than whether Trump lied about the attendance at a venue. Or Hillary's lies about her emails, or the Benghazi videos - you all are doing your darnedest to discredit someone and make them appear worse than the other candidates and our current leader. I really don't give a darn and you shouldn't either - if this is the best you can do - please continue because you are continuing to look foolish.
