POS trump's LOSING: Trump’s Vow To Rally In ‘Biggest Stadium In Texas’ Falls 94,000 Seats Short
Twitter users mock the president for booking a modest arena instead of a large stadium for his Ted Cruz event.

Over the summer, President Donald Trump vowed to hold a “ major rally” for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in “ the biggest stadium in Texas we can find.”

What they eventually chose was about 94,000 seats short of the mark.

Trump’s Oct. 22 event for the senator he used to routinely mock as “Lyin’ Ted” will be held at the NRG Arena in Houston, which seats about 8,000. The Trump campaign told the Dallas News that no larger venues were available on that date.

That would presumably include Texas A&M University’s Kyle Field, home of the Aggies and the biggest stadium in Texas, with a capacity of more than 102,000.

Given the number of other large stadiums throughout in Texas, critics on Twitter were quick to mock Trump for falling so far short of the mark:

Having promised the biggest stadium in Texas for his Ted Cruz rally, Trump is instead delivering the third-largest event space in the NRG Park complex.

The facility serves as the primary horse competition facility for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. So appropriate given the amount of ______________ that will be spewed.

If that little venue in Houston is the biggest stadium Trump could find, he needs to add blindness to those bone spurs already on his list.

I will be doing a major rally for Senator Ted Cruz in October. I’m picking the biggest stadium in Texas we can find. As you know, Ted has my complete and total Endorsement. His opponent is a disaster for Texas - weak on Second Amendment, Crime, Borders, Military, and Vets!
