Comparing the presence of people at Hillary rallies vs Trump rallies:

I never knew there were so many Russian bots in the US. We should do something about that.

this was at the National Democratic Convention vs the Republican National Conventional

Where each candidate had total control over image.

Looking at the two convention photos, we can tell which is more important to each

vs various rallies, which can be cherry picked

You're not necessarily wrong but still, there's a big difference between "any old venue" and packing stadiums. I don't recall a single rally where Hillary packed a stadium like Trump did.

Wasn't there a big to-do about the DNC not having flags on the stage? Perhaps they reacted to that by passing out flags to the crowd.

Not that I remember

of course people remember all kinds of alternate facts

It's all on c-span, of course, so you can check and compare the two conventions.

since we are doing visuals, you can do it with sound off at similar places in the show.

There was a US flag controversy with the DNC,

But Trump has a point that physical flags (plural) appear to have been added to the stage for the second day of the Democratic National Convention, after some stories reported the lack of flags.

so, he follows it up, when he gives his acceptance speech, with no flags in the audience, despite Hillary having thousands of flags in the audience at her acceptance speech.

no hypocrisy on his part, of course

They are identical, which means the DNC bought then in bulk (to hand out to each according to his needs) with campaign donations from the CGI not-for profit corporation.

Still, these are the National Conventions, where they have professionals planning things, and intent on putting their best PR foot forward

Why no flags when Trump is speaking (except behind him on stage) and only trump signs

Shows where the priorities were

Are you actually implying Trump supporters are not pro-American flag? I have never seen a Pro-Trump person burn the American flag.

There's stretching and there's an obvious incongruent conclusion.
