Not from the area. They looked like they were waiting for the hamberders.

The more crazy lies he spouted, the more their enthusiasm. If they were acting for pay, they were good.

....and you will see that they only get $50.

At his speech where he came down the gold escalator and announced his run, those people got $100!

And none of the bus companies or drivers ever talks about it.

Thousands of people getting chump change with better operational security than d-day and no undercover reporters or pranksters.

The fact that they can recruit these people WITHOUT reporters managing to catch on, find it, and do an investigative report, is truly remarkable don't you think?

None of the bus drivers, none of the people paid, etc., ever talks about it. (With the exception of the actors paid for the initial escalator campaign announcement and speech)

For a couple of bucks, they get an amazingly secure crowd who never talks about it.

Likewise, nobody ever manages to infiltrate and disrupt the operation. Somehow they manage to recruit thousands of people for a couple of bucks and NONE of them is ever an undercover reporter or prankster.

Simply amazing how they do that, eh?
