Trump-mania reached new heights in Alabama today as The Donald held a pep rally in a 40,000 seat football stadium in Mobile, Alabama. The stadium was not, in fact, full (https://twitter.com/KatyTurNBC/status/634890727537942528) — but about 20,000 people attended — and it was a wild scene (https://twitter.com/KatyTurNBC/status/634888906790584320).

People waited in huge lines over 4 hours before the event was scheduled to starthttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/CM9TB6QVEAEDyPJ.jpg

LMAO! They were expecting 40,000 morons, but only got half of that, the other half probably got lost on the way there, or are going to show up on another day.

[exotix]

I'm trying to find out how many times Trump said *I built a great company* ... LOL

If only it were a fringe. This is more like the lunatic mainstream of America. That the actual Nazis compare him to Hitler is something I think is VERY telling. Why are the rest of you so insistent that this man is not running a fascistic campaign when the actual, open fascists themselves seem to disagree?

It does seem odd because if this guy is as batshit crazy as suggested he'll just go away on his own. Why all the fear mongering?

does the phrase 'low information voter' offer any insight into that question?

The Establishment will not give up its strangle hold easily.

[Mister D]

Only in the sense that "low information voter" = voter with political views Polwatch doesn't like.

[Mister D]

They have plenty of useful idiots who suck up these Nazi analogies like a crack fix. Morons.

[zelmo1234]

You are absolutely correct and this is what the left is crapping their pants about.

The low information voter has been the property of the democrats for decades. they actually spent time, money and effort to destroy the education system to insure that they had the ability to create the low information voter.

Now Trump is turning that voter against the DNC. Both of my parents, life long Democrats are behind Trump they love what he is saying.

Democrats are trying and hoping that they can change illegals into just plain old immigrants but they are failing. Trump's popularity is across party lines, he is speaking to people that have been promised the moon and the sun and the stars, and received nothing but heartache.

Do Trump supporters not have a right to have their voices heard in government?

really? I thought it applied equally to all idiots. The phrase is used often on the forum by people of all political slants.

No, I didn't, because I'm not obsessively following Trump around and salivating at every opportunity to talk about him. I was busy celebrating Shabbat.

Trump has been THE hot topic in Alabama.....American Idol - Presidential Edition.

[Ethereal]

Why are the rest of you so insistent that this man is not running a fascistic campaign when the actual, open fascists themselves seem to disagree?

I would rather have a clear choice between fascism (Trump) and socialism (Sanders) than a murky choice between two establishment pawns like Bush and Clinton who share largely the same agenda.

[Safety]

I guess it can only be used by Mac.

[Mister D]

I guess it can only be used by Mac.

I'll be sure to criticize Mac and tag you two.

Of course Trump and Sanders represent nothing like fascism or socialism respectively but they are "different".

[Captain Obvious]

NPR reported 30k in attendance so I dismiss this source considering who posted it.
