The Media Isn’t Showing You the Lines of People Waiting to Get Into Trump Rallies

Nobody Shows Up to See Biden and Gillum

RUSH: It’s 100,000 RSVP’d for a chance to see the Trump-Cruz rally. The venue holds 17,000 or 18,000. People are lining up 24 hours in advance. Now, folks, a little common sense here. This is Texas, and remember the Drive-Bys told us that Beto O’Rourke was the answer to the mean-spirited, rock-ribbed conservative, Ted Cruz. Beto O’Rourke. He’s loved by everybody outside Texas — $38 million he raised in a quarter.

Except there’s a problem, … Has anybody found a hundred thousand people trying to get into a Beto O’Rourke event? You have a venue that holds 17,000 people. You have anywhere between 75,000 and a hundred thousand people who want to get in. That is not the kind of thing that happens within a political party that is losing — losing favor, losing support, losing elections.

Everywhere Trump goes, these rallies… You know, I ought to post this at RushLimbaugh.com. I have some friends out in the Phoenix area, and the Trump rally in Mesa, Arizona, they thought about going to it. Until they got there and found out how impossible it would be.

This doesn’t even show the people zigzagging through the parking lots to get in.” There was a mile-long line long of people to get in to see Trump in Mesa, Arizona. The media is not reporting this aspect of the Trump rallies. The media is not telling you how many people want to get in, are trying to get in, how many people are showing up and standing in line, because if they did… Local media may; I don’t know. National media — CNN, PMSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS — are not showing this, because if they did, it would put the lie to the notion that all the energy is on Democrat Party side.

Meanwhile, there’s not a single Democrat drawing anywhere near these kinds of people.

Let me tell you something. The number of people, the size of crowds to get into a Donald Trump rally is 10 times the size of this mob that is invading the country currently coming up through Mexico.

You’ve seen those pictures. The media’s happy to show you those pictures. The media can’t wait to show you this so-called caravan of 7,000 people, soon to be 8,000 people and they it claim might end up being 10,000. … multiply that times 10. That’s the number of people trying to get into a Donald Trump rally in Mesa, Arizona, and even more than that at a rally in Texas.

The Democrats are sending Joe Biden out to try to draw crowds for various Democrat candidates, and it isn’t working. Now, Biden showed up to do a rally for the Democrat candidate for governor of Florida, Andrew Gillum, who, as an aside… He debated Ron DeSantis last night on CNN. This guy, Gillum, for those of you who live in Florida, I know he seems attractive to some of you in an Obama-like way. He would be the first African-American governor, is supposedly just filled with love and compassion. The guy is a full-fledged leftist Marxist and really makes no bones about it. He was talking about Florida as a collective!

That’s communist language. He was talking about Florida as “the” or “a” collective. It would be a disaster for Florida right now to elect anybody like this guy because of what he will do in wrecking a growing economy. Do you know that the Florida and Texas economies are growing like gangbusters?

This guy is a… This Andrew Gillum is a classic modern-day Democrat leftist who don’t want there to be any private sector success because the private sector is corrupt, it’s unfair, it’s illegitimate, and not everybody’s treated equally and so forth. This guy wants government in charge of virtually everything for his express purpose of determining outcomes based on what he thinks is equality and fairness. He doesn’t know about running businesses.

He’s like every other Democrat in the world that’s never run one.

… this is Joe Biden at a rally for Andrew Gillum. The media is trying to hide the fact that nobody is showing up. That is one view of a crowd. I don’t know where this was. Didn’t have a chance to get. Just grabbed some pictures on the fly at the break at the top of the hour. There are people standing single file on the second floor. It looks like (in the next picture you’ll see just a second) a high school gym, and nobody’s there.

And Joe Biden is the big draw! And Gillum is sitting there with somebody else and they’re watching Biden speak, and there’s no excitement in this room. There’s nothing anywhere near what happens at a Trump rally. But these people believe that Biden is the answer.

Just like Bill and Hillary Clinton are gonna go do a what? They’re gonna do a theater/stadium tour, and they’re gonna charge people to get in to hear them reminisce? “Bill and Hillary Clinton and their thoughts on America today,” blah, blah, and they’re gonna charge people to get in?

Trump doesn’t charge anybody to get in. They’re gonna charge people to try to make money off this? They’re clearly piggybacking off what Trump’s doing and they want to get in on the action and they want to prove to themselves and the Democrats that they can draw crowds too — and they are going to pale . There are not going to be 75,000 people waiting to get in to hear the Clintons, unless they’re paid. And that could entirely happen.
