  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There still is a great deal of enthusiasm for Harris - rally in Greensboro, NC

Trump lied again.
Smacks of desperation.
Nope - it was not Trump saying it -

The only thing desperate IMHO is the people who are blindly following a person who was not voted into her position, and went from the worst VP in history to the best candidate in two days.

Yeah he did. He's famous for it.
No he did not - and his infamy, IMHO, is only in the minds and imaginations of a small, but very vocal group

Yep, Trump made the claim at a rally. No evidence, no proof.
imho, he is intimidated by her and the size of her rallies. He puts great importance on crowd sizes.
No he didn't.


Yea, he did.


Claims she is busing them in and paying them. Perhaps that is what he did initially in 2016, but Harris is not doing it.
People are at her rallies because they want to be, and are not paid.

From yesterday:


Harris, whose plane landed at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport shortly before 5 p.m., is scheduled to take the stage at 7 p.m.​
Supporters began lining up outside the McHale Athletic Center before noon, chatting with each other in line, and showing their support for Harris on their T-shirts, hats, pins and stickers.​

The crowd waits for the Kamala Harris rally to start at Wilkes University.

Your seemingly propaganda link and hoorah for Harris article do not address the reports, separate from Trump of bus loads coming.

She has a history of doing it:

"reports" - like "people are saying" - unsupported hearsay



False: Trump claims Harris is busing in and paying people to attend her rallies​

Trump: "People don't go to her rallies, there's no reason to go. And the people that do go, she's busing them in and paying them to be there and then showing them in a different light."
Details: An August 2024 Facebook post was circulated on the social media websites Truth Social by Trump and X by Kevin Sorbo. The post depicts a supposed Craigslist ad asking for paid actors to carry signs with "Anti-Trump" messages.​
The post is a doctored image of another fabricated 2019 post of a Craigslist ad showing to ask for paid actors carrying "Pro Trump" signs at a rally in Phoenix.​
Trump is reducted to fabricated lies.

The crowds of people attending Harris rallies are there because they want to be. When I get back to Arizona in a few weeks, I am hoping to attend a rally. I am just not sure I can wait in a line like this:

They bussed those people in from off-site parking. I’ve already linked to the sources in other threads, that show comments from folks in attendance who rode those buses.

Also, Portsmouth is about 20 minutes from Massachusetts - it’s an exurb of Boston. So what if they bussed people in? Is that worse than making them drive?

So it was simply providing transportation from a distant parking area to the main event? That is nothing. I used to go to sport events and holiday events in Phoenix and parked in one place, and got on a shuttle bus to the main arena.

In fact, once in San Antonio, they opened a new Costco. We went (my daughter really wanted to) and had to park in a area away from the store and take a shuttle bus that Costco provided to the store.

Figures that Trump was just blowing smoke.

Yeah, the venue was a small brewery with a small dirt parking lot that could accommodate maybe a couple hundred people.

What is hilarious is that the Trump campaign also provides shuttles from parking to the main area. Here is a video someone took inside it:


The little girl is cute.

Other people telling lies does not mean that Mr Trump is especially famous for being an inveterate liar.
And it does not mean the same for your side. Trump did a good job as president and Harris/Biden have been bad. End of story for me.

Where did you pull this theory out from?
From Twitter, because apparently the MAGA crowd finds it hard to believe that Harris can draw 1,000 people an hour north of Boston.

It’s funny how much Trump has morphed his fans into his own image. Now they’re the ones steeped in conspiracy theories and obsessing over crowd sizes. It’s really sad and deeply concerning what’s happened to the American right wing. I don’t know how or if they ever come back to reality.

IMO, that tendency was always there; it just needed stoking.

Is he running again? I missed that!
Well he WAS, until your party threw him out! Um Biden is still the current prez, but you already knew that, right? Harris was standing right next to Biden, but you already knew that too....right? Truth must hurt...but you already knew that, right...?

From the pics on the news site, it looks like more than a couple hundred.


My oldest daughter lives, according to Google maps, literally 0.7 miles, about 2 minutes from there. I doubt that she attended though, I'll have to ask.
