I do not know about the truth whether the stadium was full or not but I kind of suspect that it was not full due to the reasons of transportation, logistics and timing. The rally was held during a workday just right after rush hour. Due to the Cincinnati metro as a whole main dependence on highways and the automobile for getting to point A to Point B folks getting downtown especially when roads and the highways are gridlocked was going to be a problem. Hostility to grade separated mass rapid rail transportation over the preceding decades to the present gives you this present scenario. Any tie up on the highways due to accidents or road closures due to Secret Service security concerns and lot of people will not even bother to deal with the hassle. Most of his supporters live in the outlying suburbs and are dependent on highways and the automobile to get to point A to point B. The people who live in city who can easily get to the rally are most likely not his supporters so you could count them out as potential rally attendees.

We all know how the "news" likes to tell lies about Trump. CNN is prime example. Well no matter, here is photo that says it all. It speaks for itself on the matter.

I would think that after being proven 100% absolutely wrong about Trump during the election, you might have realized that nobody is listening to the comparisons to the Nazi government. It only speaks to lack of real argument that you have for whatever you support.

Oh and BTW, Hillary & Tim Kaine are off on their on set of national "rallies".

The real rallies start when Obama leaves office. That should become a national holiday.

I didn't realize Adolf was your Uncle.

He's replaced the traditional press conference, where the media can ask him unscripted questions and he has to give some form of answer, for the tried and true Reichsparteitag, or as his campaign call's it, "The victory tour."
Dictators don't answer the people's questions. They dictate and make pronouncements via huge fan rallies and scripted message videos. The only thing missing for Trump is his own Nuremberg stadium done in gold leaf and draped in scarlet velvet.

You'd better move to Mexico now, before things get really ugly. Take florida_bob with you, too.

Get some new material. I realize you libs are shellshocked by the landslide Trump victory but try to not stumble around emitting gibberish if you can help it.

Nah. I earned the right to be here and speak my piece. I fought in service, long and hard for America in my salad days. My ancestors were here long before your's ever even knew this continent even existed. Only way you'll get rid of me is to try and finish the job of exploitation and extermination you euros started when you came knocking. Mt tribe's motto is "Come and get some" in Akwesasne.

His hair looks like it is a bad weave...and might have some other product woven in...
check the color...it differs from day to day sometimes...
Almost like he has different hairpieces he switches in and out...
Oops! Sorry. I thought you were saying the political commentators were making those comments.

I am not a Trump supporter, although I was hoping that the more subdued, reasonable man we saw on election night would be the person who emerged once the campaign was over. Unfortunately, he's still an arrogant, narcissistic blowhard.
