Cons come up with the same posts for Democratic rallies. I think one of us should volunteer to check it out, though.

I just figure if you contact them that you'll end up on some endless list of crap.

The Republicans would have to pay me a lot more than $12-$14/hr. to stand out in the heat and wave signs for the Orange menace, but for $250/hr. I might do it. I am only so proud. I gotta pay the bills.

1. ANYONE can post something to Craigslist.

2. If the campaign wanted to keep this secret, they'd go through a professional talent agency.

3. The Trump campaign doesn't have a problem turning out a crowd.

That’s what makes this ad so believable. We know that Trump paid people to stand in the lobby and cheer for him when he came down the escalator to announce his candidacy in 2015. This is no different.

Fucking cheapskate. His audiences would be far smaller if he didn't pay pretend supporters.
