"Trumpmageddon" Protest Fizzles

Photos from this afternoon’s much-balleyhooed pro-Donald Trump rally at the Colorado Capitol are coming in via social media, and, well…time to revise those lofty crowd estimates downward, friends.

Organizers had told the press to expect a thousand or more participants, especially given the way Donald Trump was personally hyping the event on Twitter:

Big protest march in Colorado on Friday afternoon! Don’t let the bosses take your vote!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 14, 2016

But the crowd estimate for today’s rally ranged from about 100-300 people depending on how generous a count it was. Certainly these are not photos we would expect to see Trump Tweeting out later this evening in celebration. With that said, one large sign stood out in particular at today’s protest, and gathered reporters didn’t miss it:

That would be all the Republicans these protesters say they won’t vote for after Trump lost the state assembly! Just another reason for every Republican in Colorado not on the Trump Train to breathe a sigh of relief over today’s unexpectedly paltry pro-Trump crowd.

Hopefully this means Steve House can come out of hiding soon.
