barely anyone noticed he was here.

1. It looks like it's starting.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. He's a loser, period.

[3catwoman3]

6. Or, in Donald...

...speak - loosah!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. A yuuge one.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

3. Pathetic crowd! A few thousand.

Probably scared to get their asses whooped on the way back to the parking garage and stayed home!

[Kingofalldems]

23. Oh I get it--you're saying dirty liberals will get them.

[LenaBaby61]

4. SO....

He thinks he'll be turning DEEP blue California Red this fall? Looks like people are dressed and imitating stadium seats And NO, crowd size in and of itself means nothing. But, this clown was promising a YUUUGE crowd today. Like I said, I guess they're there dressed up as seats.

And lastly, while anything that can make Trump look badly, I still don't underestimate this clown nor his crazy followers for one minute, and I sincerely HOPE that Hillary, fellow Dems and surrogates continue to hammer him daily if possible. This man is dangerous.

19. LOL ! Dressed up and imitating stadium seats!

[GulfCoast66]

5. Its like a baptist(was one)

Going to a porn shop. Afraid someone they know will recognize them!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Eventually this will all be like Nixon after Watergate,

when you couldn't find anyone who was willing to admit they voted for him.

"Trump? Are you kidding? Noooo, I never voted for him..."

[BlueNoMatterWho]

9. If he can't draw 10,000 tomorrow morning in Florida we'll know the end is nigh.

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. They're gonna pull him. The wheels are off.

[GulfCoast66]

11. How?

They pull him, or even if he quits, it is all over for the republicans.

Or the same result if he stays.

12. I live in Richmond...

And I'm so glad my home town didn't turn out for him.

[gwheezie]

14. I work in church hill

If Trump couldn't get the teabags to leave chesterfield county to come to his rally, he's in trouble.

[rusty quoin]

16. I'm in that county, and I am the opposite of a teabag.

I'm from the Northeast originally, and moved around a lot, ending up here. I still don't understand much about it, but live in the crossroads between Richmond and Chesterfield. I should look further into it, because I find the crossroads polite. I don't know much about the mostly white communities. I imagine they are more like the white flight thing from the 50s-60s.

[2theleft]

18. I live off of Ridge Road, west end'ish..

Lots of tea baggers around here unfortunately. My little neighborhood is probably 50/50 D & R, thank goodness. I'm not a tiny blue island in a red sea

[ohheckyeah]

29. I love Richmond.

[nyquil_man]

13. They should have advertised a puppet show, as well.

"PUPPET SHOW AND DONALD TRUMP"

[Akamai]

15. I would imagine that the sleaze factor, the stench factor, is clear to more and more people.

this may be a person [Donald Trump] that even a mother could not love.

[patricia92243]

17. I didn't get to see it. I was wondering how he did without the teleprompter.

Was it his usual rambling rants and did he say anything more insulting than usual.

[gwheezie]

20. He rambled and tried to fire up the little gathering

He didn't get much cheering at his fundie scripted attempt at coherence either. I think the low turn out in Richmond is going to push him over the edge. He told the crowd Obama and Hillary hate each other. Most of his chat was like some kind of 60's DC gossip column.

[Jack Rabbit]

21. Do you get the feeling he's peaked?

Just a couple of weeks past the high water point, are we?

[joshcryer]

22. It's going to get so much worse for the man.

His support was and is based on celebrity status. Nothing more.

[IronLionZion]

24. Many republican voters look like stadium seats

don't mock them for their appearance

[struggle4progress]

25. "When Obama confiscates our guns, how will we shoot ourselves in the head?"

[ohheckyeah]

26. VA isn't as redneck as some people

Think it is. Virginians have better things to do on a pretty, sunny day.

[gwheezie]

28. I work in Richmond, live in the woods

About an hour away from the city. The teabags reared up after Obama was elected but they haven't increased their fans. The only place where I do see their influence is they get on county boards and run in local elections which are pretty much ignored by most people. So on a very local level they have an impact but it's due to apathy. I admit to the same apathy.
My farrier is born and raised out here in the woods and is a liberal so not all liberals are transplants either. But people are generally small c conservative and don't like to change the way things are done.

27. CW might pick up the Trump Show if the major networks cancel it.
