It's also not a "flash mob" if they are posted on a Facebook page 7 days in advance.

All organized by the "Michigan Conservative Coalition".

This is really over-the-top silly.

Better wear a fresh pair of Depends, too, if you're that nervous.

If you bothered to scroll down the link, you would have seen a video of a larger group. Maybe then you wouldn't have been "really disappointed"

Have there been any spontaneous gatherings like that for Hillary?

20 people isn't large either. I counted heads. You should try it.

But I gotta give them credit for leaving the lawn chairs at home for once.

This was only at those places at the time the video clip was taken. 20 sincere supporters is something that his competition-not would be thrilled to have.

Has Hillary started advertising on Craiglist to for positions like this yet? Oh, well, looks like it will be Biden here shortly anyway.

Seems like Trump is on a roll, steamrolling the morally, mentally and physically incompetent Hillary Clinton.

You know what, if it were only 12 people, at least they would be there out of loyalty to just the best POTUS candidate and not because they are being paid to be there. The most support for Hillary is limited to her heavy duty undergarments, oh, and those men that have to "spot" her when is going up the stairs.

Envy, frustration and hopelessness is the banner for Trump's competition-not.

It is awesome idea, the "flash mobs" as are the many very neat enticements to donate to the campaign.

OP,
you should beg the mod to save you from this fail by locking this planned, promoted and completely unspontaneous "flash mob" thread.

also, at a scheduled hour and a half, it's stretching the definition of "flash".

A little more:

‘Flash mobs’ pitch Trump in Metro Detroit, Michigan

And, Hillary opened campaign offices across the state, oh my, how darn impressive!

Clinton supporters respond to local Trump flash-mobs

It has begun. Onward to victory!

For the poster with the math issue, 20 is larger than 6 and a heck of a lot larger than the competition-not can gather in one place without paying them! Too funny!
