Drawing a huge crowd (12,000) in Phoenix last night. Bigger crowd than Trump has had as yet.

Funny, some news said Trump had 15,000 at his speech here in Phx, but others say it was only 5,000. And Carson was claimed to have 12,000 at his speech here, but now news reports are cutting that number in half, due to the actual capacity of the room he was in.

He did have a bigger crowd than Trump, but it wasn't 12,000.

Still don't understand the appeal. I have a hard time listening to him speak. Too soft-spoken (even a bit effeminate) and sounds like he's out of breath.

They changed the title of the article from the time that I posted it. LOL! I wonder why they went with 12,000 to begin with?

I saw the editor's note at the top. That's weird.

I know Trump didn't have 15,000 people there, because the ballroom he was in only has a capacity of a little over 4,500. Not sure the capacity of where Carson spoke.

But of course, he's a Dr.

I'm just past the 36 minute mark. He just finished talking about how taxes should be based on 10% tithes.

Wow. Not just pushing for vaccines, but suggesting some vaccines should be mandatory.

Who knew there were so many flooding in from our Pacific and Atlantic borders...

"We should make it illegal to employ people in this country who are not legally here." "That will stop the flow."

Uh, it already is illegal for companies to hire or recruit anyone who is here illegally. Hasn't stopped any "flow."

smh

Second only to Trump now in Iowa and I *think* it was a Quinipiac poll late last week.

Go Ben Go!

Ugh. I don't understand the appeal. Obviously conservatives aren't paying attention to his political positions.
