a big red fire truck and the billion dollar claim all in one.....I'm going to be laugh-crying until October unless someone mercifully arrests this bastard.

I had originally planned on going, but decided against it. I see it as akin to getting a selfie with him. The Fords and the media don't seem to be able to parse out the fact that most of the attention these guys get is from people who enjoy watching a trainwreck.
I can't imagine them filling the place, although I'm sure the FoBro's will claim that tens of thousands arrive. I actually picture this being a huge flop attendance-wise to be honest, just on a hunch.

Watching those kiddies dive into the gutters for candy-canes and chocolate Easter eggs, must have triggered a Pavlovian response in me thinking of the tonight's free burgers!

Its actually the illiterate and innumerate NASCAR type fan-base watching.

I would be soooo happy if that place ends up being only half full. So happy. Doug would have a hard time arguing with the pictures of empty chairs. Oh, please let it be. Please.

Thanks for the warning! I'm sure I would have peed my pants if I hadn't gone beforehand lol. I suspect this will be played tonight. I'd go but just the thought of Ford makes me want to vomit. In person might induce me to actually do so.

SOoooooo... Dofo's claim of "thousands and thousands of people" has to max out at 4k as I can't imagine another room with 7500 sitting for Ferdian naythun.

It's set up banquet style, which has the lowest capacity. Crafty bastards.

Not surprisingly, TPFFA is not amused:

I can hear Doug now...
"30 000 people showed up just to hear Rob Speak. The people love this guy, they know he's saved them a billion dollars, they know his track record speaks for itself!"

It's a good thing there are subtitles, otherwise I'd have no idea what she was singing
This comment pretty much sums it up:
I'm sorry I added a view count to that horror.

No, I'm not attending this rally, but I will be compiling a list of every group of voters the Fords disrespect tonight.

"Respect for the Taxpayer" with most of the City rebates going to the "905"... who's taxpayers are you building respect for here?
Interesting, I couldn't see anything when I clicked on that link -- you need to sign in. But when I clicked on reply with quote, it showed up in the quote!
