And there was a crowd outside.

That person tweeted a picture obviously taken well before the event began.

The scary thing was, watching the rally, that the biggest reaction, by far, came when Trump talked about Hillary Clinton and her emails.

And doubled down on claiming the Russia investigation is a "fake story" and a "hoax" that is "demeaning to our country".

Why is only one section filled even if it was a full event. A large crowd would be dispersed throughout that venue to accommodate the large crowds and not confined to one area.

I love it that he's losing support!

One thing I can say for sure, having watched most of the rally, is that Trump had some very rabid and passionate fans at that rally which was completely filled to capacity and they roared with approval at virtually everything he said. The biggest reaction by far came when he attacked Hillary Clinton, incidentally.

Atavistic, really. It's like someone saying they support blacksmiths or wheelwrights. It's actually kind of sad that WV is reliant on coal mining and this idiot is promoting it like it's 1899.
