Of our more politically outspoken people here, which side is more likely to claim the election was stolen from them if their geriatric of choice doesn't win?

True.

But Trump is currently nine down in New York. In New York.

Jon may vote for him after all...

I agree. RIght now, this is President Trumps election to lose.

Birds of a feather.

The reporting on this has been quite amusing. I’ve seen reporters attempt to frame it as a few hundred rally goers and thousands of protesters….

@George-K LOL

(Again, sad that the most powerful country in the world believes that the two leading candidates are the best we can do)

I think there are way more than 25,000, just look.

You won't see this on cnn.

[LuFins Dad]

I think I read something along the lines of only 3500 were allowed in the park, but here were 3 times that number outside?

[LuFins Dad]

Here you go, Park Capacity was 3500. That’s all that was let in, but there was a total of 8K to 10k according to police.

@Copper LOL

Another view from the rally.

[Doctor Phibes]

Somebody has to do it....

[George K]

@Doctor-Phibes Trump supporters tend to be tidy.

[George K]

Granted the timing might be different.

[LuFins Dad]

9 sets of windows, three skylights… It matches. Mr. Sisson also used a particularly deceptive lens to distort the perceived length.

[jon-nyc]

Yes, plus the supporters fill the space they’re allowed in. Does he expect them to crash gates with secret service everywhere?

I don’t think I meet the minimum BMI requirement.

Ahhh I remember in 2016 when that was the biggest scandal... Trump claiming to have more people at his inauguration than Obama. Such simple times. And a nice preview that Trump wouldn't stop lying even as President. Gotta hand it to him for being consistent!

Just remember, this thread is for you. Three years later, and it still hasn't lost its luster.
