Trump's crowd size in NC: [View all]

looks like less than a couple of thousand. I could be wrong. It's not large though.

We aren't far from where he is speaking- it's 76 degrees, partly cloudy. He's at a small, regional airport that has an airstrip big enough for cargo jets- so easy for Air Force One to land. Lots of parking there.

He's right between Greensboro and Winston-Salem- so roughly 550,000 people are in a 20 minute easy drive of the place. It's about an hour and a half from Charlotte.

I would say those numbers aren't great- especially on a night like this that is so pretty, and cool out.

The Republicans here just voted NOT to give teachers a raise or bonus for the year, so it's possible that group is mostly lost.
