Macbeth, via the bard's pen, tells it best.
an idiots tale full of bombast and melodrama...nothing more.
But pray tell, what is Trump doing to expand his base? Absolutely nothing.

Whistling in the dark won’t change the numbers.

Not at all.

As for idiot’s tales, I wouldn’t know.

I don’t follow Donald Trump.

This is the real question.

What are the Democrats doing to expand their base?



<crickets>

Those crowds speak for themselves. And in that, you've got nothing.

Trump surrounds himself with yes men. What is sad are people who think everyone should do exactly what he wants just to appease his overinflated ego. He lies over and over about the same thing until his supporters believe only him.

Many inside the center had confederate flags.
The crowd outside was fine but those going in were in our faces.

I also know these events are "orchestrated". Omarosa had a huge write-up on how section leaders rile up the crowd, applaud to get the enablers ranting chants, and if the section leaders screw up, the despot comes down on them.

It's a b.*#2*s fantasy world full of lie after lie after lie.

I don't think our base
needs to be expanded much. Democrats (against all odds - ask Putin) won the popular vote by 3M.
If Putin hadn't been involved, if "republicans" hadn't suppressed the vote (it was horrid in GA - Kemp
and Abrams should've won, Dodge, KA with its slimeball suppression and, of course, NC where they
literally lied and cheated their way in a massively-gerrymandered state. Then there are still two counties
in FL that were hacked and the republican governor kept that from the public for months and we still
don't know what happened.

Yes, we need the hispanic vote and due to the swing of ideologies of candidates we could use young
folks out there.

We won't get them, however, with massive brainwashing via Fox, Sinclair (local stations bought out a couple years ago that stretches across the country), and RT. With those stations allowing constant lying, that's the biggest concern (besides Putin, China, Netanyahu and Kimmy).

So nothing then. Democrats are happy with winning the popular vote in California and hey guess what? Putin is still there. .

Take out California...
  • Trump - 58,801,018
  • Clinton - 57,088,726
I can guarantee you that Trump won't be looking at increasing that vote count in California.

No. Notice how the cameras never pan out after he starts speaking? That's because they were really just waiting on line for their vouchers for their free big screen tv then left! Probably made them sign an NDA also!
