It's also all over the front page of my newspaper, so don't think for a minute that this is going to end, it's not, people, democrats and independents alike are sick and tired of the, spending on steroids, we have witnessed not just with the dems but repubs too.
Really?

Protest Crowd Size Estimate Falsely Attributed to ABC News - ABC News

You lie!!
Mark, you may want to try to read your sources carefully:
Quote:
.... approximately 60,000 to 70,000 people flooded Pennsylvania Ave, according to the Washington DC Fire Department. ....
PA Ave is just ONE of the venues of the protest yesterday. It took place on the Mall, Lafayette Square, E St., the Hill, etc. So, the best one can say is there were in excess of 60-70K, basing numbers on your source.

First you posted a Twitter post by a reporter as 'proof' that there were 30K persons. Now you post an estimate of the numbers on PA Ave. which is just one part of the entire venue. You're not making a solid point.
