1. "Empty crowd." LOL K&R n/t

[Jarqui]

2. I'm sure he'll blame "fake news" for the small crowd

[world wide wally]

13. It's the Fire Marshall's fault

[Lucinda]

3. Good!

[dubyadiprecession]

4. It's very sad that Trump can't fill a small arena in Nashville.

Regardless of the cheering that is supposed to soothe his thin skin, five minutes after Trump leaves, he will be deeply depressed again.

25. It would be cheaper to put him on prozac

Nashville is a blue dot in a sea of red!

5. Thanks big

[hatrack]

6. "President Day-Old Egg Salad" - Bwa-hahhah!

I am SO stealing that!

[superpatriotman]

7. Does anyone know what flag that is in the background of the last image?

It has an eerie Nuremberg rally type feel.

[hatrack]

9. TN State Flag - no cause for alarm . . .

[superpatriotman]

12. That is a creepy flag

Couldn't they have put the Smokey Mountains on it or something?

[volstork]

15. It's our state flag.

The stars in the center of the field represent the three grand divisions of the state: West, Middle, and East Tennessee.

[msongs]

10. tennesee state flag - more likely representing the klan than nazis

[hurple]

14. HEY!

I'm from TN (don't live there anymore, I'm in a blue state now) and think the state flag is beautiful. It's my favorite state flag.

It follows the theme of the US flag, red, white and blue; with stars and stripes. And I like the symbolism. Three stars for the three sections of the state, east, middle and west; all housed within a circle representing their unity. I was always told the blue stripe represents the smokey mountains, but according to Wikipedia (which we know is never wrong) it was just a design element.

Your equating the state flag to a klan banner is offensive.

[thbobby]

20. I agree

I am from Texas and I despise and am ashamed of my state's politics. But I love Texas. I love the Texas flag. My state's politics can be questioned, but do not disparage Texas. Texas politics? I hate it too.

[notdarkyet]

24. Hi Sheldon!

[Docreed2003]

27. Easy now...

Our state flag is representative of the state...not the klan or the confederacy. As others pointed out, the tri-star represents the three grand divisions of the state.

[smirkymonkey]

29. I was thinking the same thing.

At first glance, I thought it was a swastika on the flag until I looked more closely at it.

[spanone]

8. the local news here in nashville said there were quite a few empty seats

[gibraltar72]

11. Hard to

get good people for 18 bucks an hour.

[C Moon]

16. Did you ever notice in Trump crowds like that

there are always so many in attendance that are standing and looking around at the others in the crowd.
Looking for someone to beat up?
Paranoid, and looking for someone who doesn't belong there?
I don't know.
Maybe they're just bored.

[tclambert]

17. They're looking for brown people.

Arabs, Mexicans, African Americans, Cherokee, whatever. 'Cause you know they must be protesters.

[C Moon]

30. Yeah, that was another thing I was thinking. They look so filled with hate while standing there.

[elmac]

18. This will be the twits tweet tonight

CIA is using Diffused lighting camouflage to disappear people from my events! Very sad!

[zentrum]

19. Trying to really understand..

...the crowd sizes from Nashville. Various outlets report that there were 2,500 protesters but nowhere can I find a count for the pro-DT rally.

The pro's are described as "excited". Pictures of long lines are shown but of course, this could easily be the protester's line.

I want him to relive the inauguration "crowd trauma" he went through.

Anyone have any actual numbers?

[pinboy3niner]

21. No numbers, but The Tennessean gives a narrative picture

They do say the auditorium capacity is less than 10,000, there were long lines for Trump, and many left after waiting hours in line due to slow admissions.

Confusion, security cause long lines at Trump rally

23. So, the story you

.....link to is discouraging. Seems like the empty seats were more because of security concerns rather than lack of support. The line was a mile long??? People waited for hours?

Seems it would have filled if people had been allowed to file in without police delays.

So both the picture and the headline of this post, though well-meaning, seem misinformed.

[videohead5]

22. Most of These People

Are from outside of Nashville.Nashville voted for Hillary by 26 points over Trump.

[Docreed2003]

28. Truth

[MFM008]

31. He should stick to

Alabama or Florida.
Imagine if he. went to a real blue state.
