I have never seen them in the neighborhood working the doorbells. These people are an audience. After their love bomb they all go home feeling good about themselves, stick a sign in the lawn, and that is where it ends.
Beto is holding a campaign rally in San Antonio next week in a Honky Tonk bar, does that mean he's trying to make things seem crowded?

Turns out, it's going to happen Monday Oct 22 in Houston. In an arena that holds about 8000 and is usually a venue for livestock shows.

Very appropriate considering the amount of BS that'll be spilled next Monday


Oh, well...

I guess you think these guys are "horses" This is a huge entertainment complex.
They host all types of Events.

EVENT INFORMATION

Artists Juvenile, Scarface, 8 Ball & MJG, Too Short, DJ Quik and Bun B will be headlining this years Legends of Hip Hop Concert at NRG Arena!


President Trump's exact words were .....

I will be doing a major rally for Senator Ted Cruz in October. I’m picking the biggest stadium in Texas we can find.

That "we can find" part is pretty important and reliable ignored by Leftists and their LapDogMedia.

It may shock a lot of you folks but Events are normally booked a year (or more in advanced) - it's not easy to find a place - date - time - and THEN get it approved by the Secret Service, City and Local Law Enforcement in a short amount of time. The Secret Service always has VETO power on any venue.

The announcement by President Trump was on August 31, 2018 - the announcement of the Date/Time/Venue was on October 15 .... less than 2 months. The Arena will hold at least 10,000 (8,000 seats and 2,000 Plaza ..... they can squeeze more with Fire Department approval.

Houston surprises me as a venue - I was expecting DFW area. I was also certain it would be an inside facility. He did one in 2016 in Dallas at the American Airlines Center (booked) (Mavericks & Hockey & Arena Football) and hoped this would be at AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys) ..... I thought I might go (Security cleared) and was already on a list for early arrival if that happened in DFW.

Houston is a good idea in many ways - A lot of people live in that quadrant of the State and many of them don't bother to vote because they think the Democrats own the City. Ted has led in his "desperate campaign" almost all of the time - but it's still a good idea to come to Texas. Houston is within a few hours drive for San Antonio, Central Texas, Coastal Texas and even DFW is only about 4 hours.

It's also interesting that Democrats like Beto gravitate to the Liberal Bastions (Houston-Austin-Dallas-San Antonio), which are their comfort zones and President Trump is heading to the most Liberal City in Texas for his Rally.

So, if you are that deranged over trump, why should we believe anything you have to say about him as being even close to factual?

Default Remember when Trump was going to "Book the largest stadium in Texas"?

You know, always the largest, believe me, the largest.

So, what is the largest stadium in Texas?

That would be Kyle Field: capacity 102,000. Did he book it?
Noooooo...
Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium seats 100,119. Did he book it?
Noooooo...
AT&T Stadium seats 100,000. Did he book it?
Noooooo...
Well, what about the 80,000 seat NRG Stadium in Houston. Did he book it?
Noooooo...
So, what DID Trump book?

He booked the 8,500 seat NRG Arena, right next door to the NRG Stadium.

What a man, right! So great!

NRG Stadium is in Houston, not Dallas.

Okay, but it's a small thing to quibble over.

He probably was budget conscious, and didn't want to pay for too many attendees.

Well, apparently they KNOW Trump booked a tiny "stadium" - WHEREVER it is.
Maybe he wanted it to match his "tiny hands".
