I keep getting paid/sponsored adds in my Facebook feed for the Trump Rally in Charlotte. I find it odd, because I don't follow any of his stuff, so I started following the trail, and they are paid/sponsored adds.
Out of curiosity, I clicked through, because I knew Charlotte has a huge Stadium (Bank of America Stadium, where the Panthers played), so I was really curious how full it would be. Even to fill 75k seats in a metro area of over 2M is not a huge deal, so I was a little curious why they were having so much trouble, considering all the people that tell us that he's going to win because he fills the biggest stadiums.
Well surprise surprise, he's not going to BoA stadium.
He's not even going to the Downtown Coliseum, where the NBA Hornets play (I think like 18k capacity)
Nope, he's holding his rally at Bojangle's arena. Capacity is 8600, and he's been spending money left and right because (apparently) the FREE tickets are not selling.
It's just another example of how what Trump and his base say, does not equate to reality.
This guy, according to himself, should have BoA stadium full, with an overflow crowd at the Hornets arena. NOPE!
Ah, the old Charlotte Coliseum! It's pretty good size, but I haven't been there since the '60's. We used to watch the Charlotte Clippers play hockey there.

And you don't think that Trump wouldn't be faced with bad weather on Mar 1 in Charlotte like Obama? You can't have it both ways.
Do you have any familiarity with this part of Charlotte? Charlotte city is 35% Black and this part of Charlotte is more like 50% Black. If he fills it with locals, it's very very bad news for the Democrats. Trump decides to hold a rally in a 10,000 seat arena in a Black part of the city, and you fault him for it.
Some of you guys claim that he only goes places where it's very very Red. Here's a great example of him going to a very BLUE area. And you fault him for that too. It never ends with you guys. Day after day with the derangement.
Give him some credit for reaching out beyond his base.
1. Spectrum Arena has a roof, last time I checked, and 2.5x capacity of Bojangles
2. This is not about race. ACCORDING TO YOU WK, Trump is, and has been wildly popular in Charlotte. You've posted this for four years now. So why can't he fill a 20k arena in a metro area of 2M+? (that is only 1% of the population, assuming nobody comes from outside the Metrolina area).
Anyway, it does't bother me
It doesn't keep me up at night
It doesn't give (or prove) me a syndrome.
Simply pointing out that you guys always talk about his huge crowds as evidence of his popularity. (He actually is Popular, I admit), it's just funny that he's having to struggle to fill an outdated, small arena in very town that YOU always said is breaming with support...
How can you tell from that picture, it doesn't show anything but "front and center" and right behind the stage. Not saying it IS a photo-opt, just saying you can't tell from the pic.
And again, I'm sure he filled it, Just funny he chose the smaller venue, and had to spend so much money to get about .4% of the population to come out.
