Views from the roof of the parking lot across from Phoenix convention center. People packed on every floor. #trumprally protest

1. Is DonnieJohn's audience standing through this rant?

[Miles Archer]

5. I could only handle watching a couple of minutes...

...I turned it on, coincidentally, at the beginning of his Arpaio remarks, and turned it off about two minutes after that.

But all I am seeing is a lot of tight shots of the podium, not a lot of panning the audience or the hall itself.

7. I had to bale after a couple of minutes as well.

17. Guaranteed standing ovation

2. Thanks for posting ... I always wonder how many people are in the venue

when the cheers aren't all that loud but he keeps talking like the venue is full.

[Miles Archer]

3. A few minutes ago he mentioned "the people outside"...

...then did his usual smirk and "aside" comment, "there aren't very many of them..."

WRONG.

[Greywing]

4. That smirk ... grrrrrrrrrrrr!

I hope he sees the protestors outside when he leaves

[Grammy23]

6. I'd like to see him walk through that crowd outside.

Big, brave guy, isn't he? Nope, he will soak up all the love inside and then slither away out a back door to his waiting jet and scoot on back to DC. He is a coward to his core. A sniveling coward.

25. Of all the things I hate

about so many of the current and recent Republican leadership, those sociopathic entitled "I'm so much better than you, I've totally pulled one over on you, and boy am I gonna milk this you stupid losers" smirks are the worst. And I think the base loves them. GWB has it, Trump has it, Obama doesn't. While not a cause, I sometimes think the lack of that true smirk in Romney (more a well trained Hollywood smile - fake as shit and completely lacking in affect but not a smirk) and McCain (too damaged by surgery plus I think he genuinely started as a public servant but his idiology sucked from the start and he was easily corrupted) didn't help them with the base. The stupid part is the base sees that smirk and thinks "he's sticking it to those libruls" when it's really the suckers who voted for him who he's sticking it too even more.

Of course, they see Obama's clearly genuine smile as a smirk because anything depicting Obama positively and/or happy is him rubbing it in their faces.

8. Look at all that fake news!

And the dishonest media makes it look so realistic! How'd they do that!

[George II]

9. Great pictures, thanks. Just like Boston, the white supremacists / trump followers...

...are overwhelmingly outnumbered by REAL Americans.

Let's see how this is spun tomorrow.

12. Awesome crowd of protesters.

So glad it was peaceful. I was so worried.

[FlightRN]

10. Thanks for posting

11. How is George Soros not bankrupt yet?

[George II]

14. Hah...good thing you added the "sarcasm" thing, otherwise that could have been alerted.....

...

[Flaleftist]

16. Oh. I have learned.

Always use the sarcasm tag. Always.

13. Thanks so much for the photo's

I was watching on Lawrence O,Donnell and they did not show how big the protest crowd was.

[Scurrilous]

15. K&R

[BadgerMom]

19. 💕 this!

[MontanaMama]

20. I was boycotting

the speech for fear I would add to the ratings. I am so happy to hear the protest was peaceful...I was fretting about it.

[DesertRat]

21. It started peaceful, but that changed afterward

22. Dump saying that there were not many protesters out there

I'd say there were quite a few!

[forgotmylogin]

23. Just saw the replay on O'Donnell...

45: "I wish the cameras could show this crowd..."

But they DON'T.

What Presidential speech does not have multi-camera coverage?

Apparently one that doesn't feel the need to show the crowd.

[SergeStorms]

24. And how many of those Trump supporters......

in that MASSIVE crowd were PAID supporters? A low estimate.........I'd say 10%? Especially the Black man positioned behind Trump with the "Trump is not a racist" tee-shit on. Yeah.....right!

Do you think Donnie Dumb-Shit realizes that his core supporters are dwindling? Of course not. In Trump's mind the place was filled to overflowing. I guess we should never underestimate how delusional Trump is when it comes to his ego. We all saw how he inflated his inaugural address attendance. "The most people EVER for an inaugural address". What a putz.

[JDC]

26. Is that 1st pic while *45 was speaking?

I've been in many a Convention Center room, including Phx Convention/Civic. They're big, but not that big. That is pathetic if he is speaking as that pic is taken

[Az_lefty]

27. Nice work to everyone who could attend the parking lot rally

[Mc Mike]

28. Right on, Phoenix Normal Americans! Thanks, MA. Rec, nt
