In my opinion, enthusiasm = turnout.
President Romney agrees.

They support a psychotic villain who bombs foreign countries for cash. They only vote for her because they don't know any better.

13 year old girls have the same intelligence as the average Trump voter.

I didn't say your opinion doesn't count, but I didn't say I wouldn't laugh either.

So, we all know that Breitbart originally posted a picture of a very large crowd that they purported to be Trump's crowd in Jacksonville~ and it turned out to be a sports rally, yes?


Do we know that 15,000 is correct in light of the false information they previously put forward.

Not really. The size of crowds at rallies means NOTHING when it comes to support and actual votes. If it did mean something, Sanders would have steamrolled Hillary...

False. If Sanders didn't have the crowds he had, he probably never polls above 10%. Stop downplaying a nobody getting 43% of the vote.

Again, you make no sense. Polls aren't actual votes either. Nice try though

The fact remains, Hillary has by far had the smallest crowds at rallies, but she's also by far received the most votes of any candidate this election cycle. The size of crowds at rallies means NOTHING when it comes to actual votes
