While Hillary concentrates on where to get votes (or cash), Trump is concentrating on reaching out to Americans with his message and introducing them to the movement. Trump appreciates those that support him enough to take time to show up to their towns. I think it is great! He also sends a lot of surveys/polls to subscribers of his website asking what we want.

Trump rallies are like the Pope going out to hold a public mass. It's only Trumplings or those going out for the spectacle. Trump (who actually thinks he is infallible) just preaches to his choir.


There is no "movement" other than Trump and the reason why he holds these rallies is to reap the adoration and ego boost from his cult of followers. The saps eat it up.

One of the funniest things I've read all day.

Then Hillary's rallies are like an airborne disease nobody wants to get or get behind for.

She has a difficult time filling a gymnasium and even then has to pay people to attend from what I heard.

Exactly! He hasn't been trying to get new people but he feels important doing these.

In Florida, a record 3.1 million people have requested ballots, more than one-third of the total voters in 2012. Democrats have requested almost as many ballots as Republicans: 39 percent vs. 40 percent.

By comparison, in 2008, Republicans held a lead of 49 percent to 32 percent in requests, according to an analysis for AP by Catalist, a Democratic analytical firm. Obama won in Florida in 2008 and 2012.
The article below indicates that Republicans are running ahead of early vote numbers in a few states, but Florida is not one of them. Places where there is an R uptick include Georgia, Iowa and Ohio. D numbers are better in Colorado, Florida and North Carolina.

Early ballots and voter-registration numbers show Democrats surging in Florida

As I was filling out my Florida ballot last Wednesday, I got a call from the local Democratic Party office, telling me it was not too last to request a mail in ballot. Way head of you, woman. I live in SW Florida and all I ever see are Hillary ads on TV. This area might be Republican territory but Hillary isn't giving up. Republican Women who don't want Trump?

Trump holding big rallies isn't going to do any good whatsoever when a lot of people have already made up their minds, and voted by mail. Next weekend starts early voting at the polls in Florida.

They're betting on illegals and Yankees in SW FL who vote the way they did back home.

Illegals can't vote and SW Florida doesn't have many Yankees.
