Live stream. People in VA up past midnight to hear Trump, walked 2.5 to get there.
Walked 2 1/2 miles? Big freakin' deal! My god, you people actually think that's newsworthy? Most people rack up that many steps simply at work. And you're FAWNING over it? Lol, wow, you people must be seriously out of shape if you think 2 1/2 miles is something to applaud. Damn.

Yes and I understand that the Trump campaign was giving everyone a free tin-foil hat.

Oh year riiiighht. These people aren't going to vote! They just wanna line up to see Trump and meh, maybe they'll give a look-see at the news Tuesday night.
There was enthusiasm for Bernie too, and he lost.

That's one thing that telephone polling misses. It's easy to say you'll vote a certain way when you're at home and just pick up the telephone. It's another when you actually have to spend 15 minutes to get off your butt and go to a polling place (or even fill out a mail-in ballot). If anything defeats Hillary it will be low turnout. And after all, most Clinton supporters aren't exactly known as being the most motivated, hard working members of society.

And yet, it seems that Trump supporters have nothing else to do on a weekday than go to a Trump rally--no doubt while all of those Clinton supporters are stuck at work.

Oh, just like those Obama supporters, huh? He didn't win 2 elections, did he, due to those lazy unmotivated supporters, huh?

Ron Paul also had such a devoted following. Remind me was he elected to the presidency? Much less nominated?

In 2008 I walked about a mile to see Obama and had absolutely zero intent of voting for him. I understood the historical nature of what was going on and wanted to at least see/hear the guy. Although I don't support him politically, I do respect the man and put in the effort to go see him, again with zero intent of ever voting for him.

But the hats won't actually be Tin, but some foreign produced tin substitute made in Bangladesh.
