just to see how stupid trump acts and they love to egg him on. It's like encouraging the drunk in a bar to make a fool out of him or her self for the patrons entertainment.

His rally attendees numbers have been dropping. You can see the curtains covering the empty seats are being brought further forward. I didn't know if I believed the rumours of paid attendees, but the Craigslist tidbit is very interesting!! Looking forward to finding put more!

Doesn't look like it. He tells everyone to do so, and assures them that they'll find evidence. If It's so easy, why doesn't he do it and show it?

... of course not.

But I have noticed that the crowds are thinning at these events. So why not hire a bunch of people who will not only add numbers to the crowd, but will chant "lock her up" or "CNN sucks" at the appropriate times - a chant that will be picked-up on and repeated by the true believers already there?

If true, it's a brilliant PR stunt - but if true AND exposed, it's a political disaster.

I just find it to be an interesting discussion.
