Via WaPo, Trump runs down his El Paso crowd size numbers. He has the best numbers.

In a 1-minute stretch, Trump says 69,000 people RSVP’d to be at his rally in El Paso tonight. Then he says the arena holds 8k, but the fire department got 10k in. Then he says "tens of thousands of people" are watching screens outside. Then he says says he's got 30,000 ppl here.

There are 10 numbers - he's not good at those.

There are 26 letters - he's even worse at those.

El Paso Fire Department just told us that Trump's statement about them allowing 10,000 people inside is incorrect.

The estimates for Beto’s crowd were around 22,000. So he had to find a bigger number.

I’m so over that punk.
