The photos speak for themselves. Venue was completely full, standing room only, and more were turned away.
It wasn't 17k, Trump lied again

Do you think Trump counted them all or relied on a number from someone else ?

Neither, I think he made up what he thought sounded good or heard the police reported figures abd decided to add thousands more

Since you have zero evidence of where the number came from, I'm guessing it didn't come from Trump.
But in any event, has ANY Cruz rally had anywhere near 10,000 ?

The NYT reports that 18,000 tickets were requested.

Donald J. Trump will pad over his loss in Wisconsin with a large rally on Long Island on Wednesday night, where some 18,000 people have requested tickets and where he will be standing with a number of supporters, organizers said.

Elsewhere the NYTimes reports the building holds 13,000. It's packed and there are people standing outside. 17,000 is certainly possible.

Police reports. And of course Cruz can't get 10k in NY. I haven't suggested otherwise. Bernie next week will top that.

Dominant margin? The NY GOP primary hasn't mattered in the last 36 years because every prior candidate has had it wrapped up by now. Not Trump. He can't even get to 50% of the vote in any state yet and the only reason he's leading is because he's benefited from a crowded field where he only needed 25-30% to win. He's nowhere near dominant.

My mother has a touch of dementia and she repeats things over and over just like you do.

You can't argue with facts, only insult, just like your messiah Trump. Cute.
