Trump's Waco rally turnout disappoints... much smaller than expected

[pyetro]

As stated by this conservative friend of mine in this forum, 100,000 were expected:

At least 100,000 expected at the Trump 2024 rally in Waco, Texas 90s Saturday. .

It should be a good one. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/03/17/donald-trump-2024-presidential-race-waco/ Catch it live on Newsmax, Real America's Voice or here. https://www.youtube.com/live/SduiTodzNig?feature=share

But the Houston Chronicle reports massively lower numbers:

Before an estimated crowd of 15,000, Trump rattled off a number of issues likely to take center stage in his campaign, including reinstating border policies ended by the Biden administration, cracking down on “transgender insanity” and fighting for “parents’ rights, including universal school choice.”

Trump Waco rally: Defiant Trump warns supporters, ‘When they go after me, they go after you.’

Donald Trump opened in Texas by denouncing lawyers who have probed his tax returns and his role in making alleged hush-money payments to a porn star.

What could be causing Trump's decline in his ability to draw but crowds? Discuss.

Bodes well for trump since it sounds almost as underwhelming as a Biden-Harris rally. And they set a new record for the popular vote!

For his supporters, he's gone from someone whom you can believe in to being some whom you deploy. The closest example of this would be a Randy Moss type character. Once feared; then became a 3rd down receiver at best.

What do Republicans know about the popular vote?

ballot harvesting is needed.

All he did was whine about his personal grievances for two hours, and even the crowd was getting bored with it.

Meanwhile inflation continues, along with the invasion at our southern border

Problems that biden continued to ignore

The difference being the majority of the country doesn't hate Biden, but they do hate trump.

Biden has been directly confronting inflation, through the inflation reduction act and by tightening the money supply. He could do more, like drop the idiotic Trump tariffs that are a major driver, but that would be politically unsustainable.

As for the Southern Border.. um, yeah, big deal. Your fear of a Mexican moving in next door isn't a crisis.

I wonder how many tickets were reserved, but not used.

The misnamed Inflationsry Reduction Act has not solved rising prices and shortages due to previous bad policy and government mismanagement

Make that the incompetent non white majority

Libs are turning America onto a failed 3rd world jungle

You prove my point

Libs have no common sense

We do not need millions of poor people surging across the border from mexico

Its hurting this country

Well said.

Actually, I see more work ethic from Immigrants than I do from whiny MAGA voters who pride themselves on their ignorance.

Actually, most our ancestors were poor people from Europe. And we did fine. What you are saying about Mexicans today is what the WASP's said about Germans, Italians, Poles and Irish a century ago. They assimilated just fine, which is why I don't speak a word of German today.

Of course, I am the son of an immigrant and I am engaged to an immigrant, so I'm biased.

We needed immigrants a century ago for our factories

But those factories are gone

Is agriculture gone?
