I know exactly what it means, which is why I’m calling out your statement as unfounded BS.

Forth, the local news outlets (easily Googled) in Springfield Mo contradict your posts about the rally.

Finally, LAWL.
Let's talk about it....
  • You are quite welcome.
  • So you say who is polled and how is polled doesn't matter. Only that Trump is 40% which is to your liking. This is why you say it must be true. But I get that you are worried about the masses of people at the rally given that it must be predictive of true popularity. Else you wouldn't be trying prove there weren't many there.
  • So you still claim to be smarter than 63,000,000 of your fellow Americans in 2016.
  • Feel free to disprove the rally, any way you like. Photos & video don't lie. Trump detractors have been trying to do that for 3 years. Did they get a surprise on Nov. 8th too. We found out the rallies are hugely predictive of Trump's support. They were hugely predictive of Hillary's too.
  • It's a Southern thing. Doesn't really seem to work for you. But keep trying.

You’re using your opinion to claim said statement as true. That’s a fact.

I never used the word "true" or "fact", so you need to learn how to read.

He's actually only the 27th worst liar. Not the "absolute liar" as you claim. Bill Clinton is the absolute.

Only an elementary school student would need to use “fact” or “true” in a statement when making a positive claim.

In fact they actually answered pollsters a lot more in 2016.
The media lost the plot in 2017 and now its impossible to poll the Trump base.
So your above statement is not “true” and/or “factual” (hint: it’s unfounded BS), because you didn’t implicitly state such?

Its called an opinion.
I guess you are in the early stages of learning English.

And an opinion isn’t inherently “factual”. Aka claiming one’s own opinion as the basis of fact is farcical.

Let’s recap: you’ve provided no evidence for your claim aside from your opinion, which hardly proves the statement as correct.

I would be impressed if he had a high turnout in, say, any of the large metro areas of California or New York. In going to the South it's like Olivia Munn standing naked on a street corner. Both are going to draw large crowds.
