Entertainment value? Seeing a candidate for POTUS that you have no intention of voting for? I don't buy it.

Not all who voted for him have been to previous rallies. I bet most at these recent rallies are those who voted for him in the primaries.

Yes, in fact, I know some in my local area who went to one of his rallies just to watch and become part of the hoopla. They aren't voting for him. I take that back, a couple of those who went were on the fence but aren't voting for him now. They were open to it at the time.

Yes, but you're talking about irrational people who ignore all evidence that makes them unhappy.

They insist all the polls are wrong!

Even though Trump led the polls for the Republican nomination since July 2015 - and won.
Even though Clinton led the polls for the Democratic nomination since 2013 - and won.
Even though the polls in early 2014 showed that the GOP would likely capture the Senate - and they did.
Even though Obama led Romney in the polls throughout most of the 2012 campaign - and won.
Even though the polls as early as 2009 showed a Republican wave building for 2010 - and it did.
Even though Obama led McCain in the polls throughout most of the 2008 campaign - and won.

It's the same with the crowds. Sanders outdrew Clinton! And lost. Ron Paul outdrew all the other Republicans in both 2008 and 2012! And lost both times.

They live in a fantasy world where all evidence is either:
* meaningless, or
* means Trump is going to win

They are incapable of learning anything from past elections.

While we're on the subject, has anyone else noticed the number of Trumpkins posting here seems to be declining?

Wonder why that is?

Well, 12,000 flavor aid drinkers that chose that flavor, over POS commie cankles. Seems almost everybody has something better to do than go see her.......unless she pays them to come.

Or the ones that still are, are posting threads like this that are just repeats of previous threads on the same fallacy of huge numbers at his rallies equal huge number of votes in November.

I bet the number of Trumpling posters really nose-dives about 9 pm EST on November 8th.

He's fun to watch and she's boring. That's all it is. It will not correlate on Election Day.

I didn't make that claim that record venue translates to victory in November. The reports of his demise seem greatly exaggerated. Obviously very popular and still drawing record crowds.

Can you be sure?

Everyone wants four years of boring (along with one scandal after another), and further erosion of their freedom, and continued economic misery.

Or four years of "Fun to watch" (your words) and action, because Donny gets things done. You don't have $10 bn in the bank if you don't get results.
