Did anyone else notice how coached the crowd was at Trump's foreign policy speech?

They were coached to show the same type of enthusiasm that Trump receives at rallies in order to reinforce Trump's use of a telaprompter.

Along with Trump-sitting, Manafort/Priebus have hand-selected a crowd and coached them to manufacture enthusiasm so that Trump could feel the same buoyancy he feels while improvising before a normal crowd. "By using a teleprompter and/or staying on message," they are trying to demonstrate to him, "you can get the the same emotional high."

The good news?

It won't work.



Every druggie knows when he's been had. The high is not there or is never right.

From a simplistic candidate speaking to his simplistic devotees. Thankfully they are a minority in this country.

"Lock Her Up"

"USA! USA! USA!""

"Trump! Trump! Trump!"

In an attempt to make his crowd sound like that at his rallies.

he hired some 75 day fill in Actors and they stayed on script. Appears Trump rallies have paid stooges planted in his crowds. There are all kinds of YGOPers who love to show up much like Bush did in Florida to intimidate the Gore supporters.
