In the 13 reelection events since returning to the campaign trail following his COVID-19 diagnosis, President Trump has attracted more than 167,000 rally goers, many of them first-time voters and even more who are not Republicans.

According to GOP rally data posted by Republican Party Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, the Trump airport campaign events strongly suggest that he is building out his base and that media reports the president is only talking to his core constituency are wrong.

Her reports, based on information taken by attendees and those who signed up to attend, show that about one quarter did not vote in 2016, and a third were not even Republicans.

For example, at Trump’s Oct. 17 stop in Janesville, Wisconsin, McDaniel said that 47.5% of the 13,850 said they were not Republicans....

You just don’t get it. The MSM said this was a sign of desperation by the Trump campaign to try and get their base to vote because the polls were so bad.

Trump is underwater by at least 14%.

Shhhhh. This is something for us to know. No need for anyone else, especially commie Democrats.

And all those are voters in battleground states ...

[TheConservativeTejano]

Partner, the MSM is full of it.

All Freepers are Pollsters and they all say that President Trump is attracting a lot of Democrats in his rallies.

This election looks a lot like 2016 Presidential Election but with a lot more democrats will now vote for President Trump.

Shhhhh. This is something we have long known. No need for anyone else to know, especially commie Democrats.

Well the tickets are obtained by cell phone number. I “bought” 4 (2 per phone number). Mine was GOP. The other 2 were my daughter’s cell and she’s only 15.

Agreed Dems shouldn’t vote it’s clearly in the bag no need just go home and watch Cuties on Netflix

:::::::::

Hope they offset the “ scared suburban female voters” that Faux loves to show.

[struggle]

Just let them keep thinking the polls are right until election day.

Incredible. And Biden thinks he is campaigning to win?

[coaster123]

GO TRUMP!!

[Raycpa]

Any chance Republicans are saying they didn’t vote when they did ?

[CheshireTheCat]

I think the campaign cross checks the names against voter registration information.

I don’t see why that many Republicans going to a rally would lie.

I think a lot of these non-Republican Trump rally goers could not get in on the excitement of rallies in 2016 or were too wary of Trump to be excited but now they are, especially given how Demonrats have behaved lately. They know who has their back and who doesn’t.

Trump is averaging about 13,000 attendees over these 13 rallies, a remarkable performance in the age of pandemic.

So they said campaigning hard is a sign of Trump desperation? What kind of a fool believes that?

Trump is a Dynamo!
He Wants This!

So they said campaigning hard is a sign of Trump desperation? What kind of a fool believes that?

Fools who desperately want to change the narrative of their candidate being senile, to their candidate being smart, hip and ahead in the polls. You know, Joe the wise campaigner who is letting Trump destroy himself.
