Look at that crowd ... 95% of whom are old White people.
That said I wonder how many people show up at these rallies because they truly like Trump, and how many show up because the circus is in town and they want to hear the latest outlandish and repulsive statements from Trump?
Jacksonville is very conservative city. It's a city on the Georgia border. Their black population is actually pretty high, 30% of the population is black. So if you didn't see any black people they are probably all voting for Hillary.

I think a lot of you need glasses - there is a mixture of all kinds of people - young, old, white, black, hispanic. Now if it was Barry - you'd be praising the Gods that he could attract so much support. Democrats lately have nothing better to say than derogatory comments - and I think it's because you see Trump's growing appeal as you once saw Barry's and we know how that ended.
Wow! What a difference it makes. I watched his speech. He might as well been speaking in his basement. Never showed the crowd. Not even a simple pull back. They would televise drone video swooping down on the crowd if it was Obama. By now people have heard every story he has to tell but they still show up. BTW, the guy in slide #9 is his ever present bodyguard. He is the one who threw out Jorge. My hero.
I keep wondering why he doesn't have his own videographer with him on campaign stops to capture the size of the crowds. He can put the videos on YouTube.

I got news for you. Baby boomers are hitting retirement age in big numbers and old people are the most reliable demographic to show up and vote on election day. There is a reason why candidates go to The Villages when they campaign. More of the candidates should address issues that older voters favor if they want to get elected.
"Some 61 percent of citizens age 65 and older voted in the November 2010 election, the best turnout of any age group. More than half (54 percent) of those ages 55 to 64 also cast a ballot. People under age 45 are much less likely to vote. Just 37 percent of 25- to 44-year-olds made it to the polls in November 2010. And not even a quarter (21 percent) of the youngest citizens—ages 18 to 24—entered a voting booth in 2010. Here's a look at some of the reasons senior citizens are more likely to vote than younger people."
"Americans over 60 years old are 15 percent more likely to be registered to vote than those between 18 to 30. And registration strongly predicts voting - 90 percent of registered voters voted in 2008."
There's nothing else to do in Jacksonville for these types of people. Means nothing in the grand scheme. Trump is getting pretty far, on a platform with little or no DETAILS, which have been shown to work for ALL, not just the rich.
What "types of people" are they?
