Overpasses for America Missouri and Show-Me Trump Missouri hosted the event.

Trifinoff said she has done similar marches in the past, but none to this extent.

Anita Record, one of the marchers, said she just wants other people to "give the man a chance."

"We're tired of being the silent majority, and were not going to be the silent majority anymore, she said.

But they filmed it from a deceptive angle, from enough distance you could see the truth of open ground and few marchers. If they had filmed it from Trump's preferred angle, right up next to the marchers, so you couldn't see past them, he could claim it was a bigger crowd than the Superbowl, when in reality it was a smaller crowd than the day after the Superbowl.

I've seen bigger crowds at a Little League baseball game.
Hell it looks like there are more people on the sidelines for each team during an NFL game!

Oh wait, it's there. It would have been two million if the paid out of state demonstrators hadn't gone to St. Louis.

We had more people than that turn up on the fly to protest the Muslim ban last time--and we are not a capitol. Good to know the crazies in Missouri at least have the sense to stand down.
