Yeah we've seen it with Hillary too. And what happened with Hillary too? Democratic party voters don't go to vote.
What we learnt is that democratic party voters do no want to vote for women.

Yeah I bet his rallies are boring as shit
Who wants to hear a senile dementia patient prattle on for hours?
See that pic at top? Went to a rodeo in the boondocks last month, not 1,000 people in that town. Crowd was exactly the same size.
That pic was taken at the Dorton arena in Raleigh. I used to go there as a kid to watch minor league hockey games. Now it's used for livestock shows and the like.
Doesn't matter, do NOT let your guard down for even an instant until after you have gone and voted Democrat, the only effective vote in the current volatile and dangerous environment.
Now to apply same energy for votes tomorrow and it's a real win.
How is crowd size at a rally a relevant data point for anything?
It tells you that he doesn't have the same base of enthusiastic supporters that Harris does. It's showing up in things like the turnout operations that the campaign has. Trump's turnout operation tricks people and threatens to strand them far from home because they can't get volunteers.
People who have already early voted may not care so much about going to a rally. Just speculating. Still, not sure crowd size at this stage correlates to any meaningful outcome.
If my experience is any guide, Harris weekday rallies are full of people who have already voted, and have been canvassing in the area. People don't go to one because they're expecting a reason to vote for her; they're going because it's a way to stay excited at times of day/week when people are less likely to answer the door.
Fair point.
