The local news is far, far more credible than the ASINE-RIGHT-WING-EXTREMIST-Breitbart!

Seats left/20,000 turned away. Doesn't matter.


The idea is to defeat McCaskill, and so far so good. The polls show her slightly behind, with the momentum toward Hawley, the (R) candidate. I hope she is defeated.


Rasmussen shows Trump to be at 49%. That's enough to win.

It's not false, when you fill the floor with people standing in an arena built for basketball games the fire marshal will put limitations on how many people you can allow into the building. They put as many people as they legally could in the building, the fire code is ~11,000 but that doesn't account for people standing on the floor so of course there's going to be some empty seats.

I'm starting to wonder if liberal democrats have ever been involved in planning or executing a large event in a large venue and dealing with crowd control. Some of the things I see you guys post is downright comical.

McDonald's also draws in a considerable amount of people, but it doesn't mean the product they're selling is in any way good for you...

Since the last election I don’t believe anything in the polls I am convinced the press is a deep state puppet not much better than Russia or china

For example, at this point in Obama's first term, he had a 45% approval rating (RCP).

Back then, I was predicting a one term presidency because no one had ever won a second term with an approval rating so low, but I was wrong.

Times have changed.

i don't doubt that close to 11,000 were in attendance, but there is no evidence to support 20,000 ( or any ) were turned away.
