2. Trump had a much smaller crowd judging by those inside the venue.

Police estimates for O'Rourke's march and rally were 10,000 - 15,000.

Trump's venue held 6,500.

There aren't any definite numbers yet on the size of the overflow crowd at Trump's rally. He's been retweeting other people's tweets about that. Most estimates seem to be that there were thousands outside.

But based on what I've read, I'd say that Trump's crowd size at best was close to O'Rourke's and might have been substantially lower.

Which is NOT good for Trump, and very good for Beto.

9. I can't tell you the exact numbers but I know it's safe to say this:

the people attending Beto's rally are decent folk. Those attending Hair Furor's rally are lowlifes.

15. Over one trillion people were at Trump's rally.

But the lying liberal media claimed otherwise.

Do not ask me how this one trillion was able to fit in a venue with a 6,500 person capacity.
