People are desperately trying to compare the crowd numbers. It sounds like President Trump drew a bigger crowd. There are just so many different numbers out there.
However, police estimated a crowd of 10,000-15,000 for Beto’s anti-Trump rally so…I don’t know. They say Trump’s event only held 6,500 people, but there were reportedly 10-12 thousand in overflow so…you do the math.
Trump also mocked Beto last night.
“A young man who’s got very little going for himself except he’s got a great first name,” Trump said. “He challenged us. We have say 35,000 people tonight, and he has, say, 200 people, 300 people…Not too good. In fact what I would do, that may be the end of his presidential bid.”
He continued to crack jokes about Beto’s crowd size and how MSM would try to make it sound like a huge success no matter what.
“They will say Beto O’Rourke – that’s his last name, right, O’Rourke? – had a wonderful rally of about 15 people,” he joked.
So yeah. It’s the battle of crowds.
