California — is Trump Country?
There were more people turned away from Donald Trump’s event in Redding, California, on Friday than turned out to see Bill Clinton in the same city.
On succeeding days, the crowd sizes were dramatically different for the presidential hopeful and the former president.
Even 99 degree temperatures on an airport tarmac weren’t enough to keep thousands of people from Donald Trump’s rally.
Fellow patriots up in Redding, CA are waiting in 100 degree weather 2 see Trump! This is a MOVEMENT!

KRC TV reported 3,000 people were let in, while 500 waited outside the gates and another 200 were “turned away.”
Meanwhile, a more intimate crowd turned out to hear Bill Clinton at Shasta College on Thursday.

ABC 7 reported “about 400 people” turned out to see Clinton in an air-conditioned cafeteria.
All told, Trump’s crowd was over 9 times bigger than Clinton’s in the very same town.
