Why thousands of Americans come together to hear Trump speak
The New York Post ^ | August 18, 2019 | Miranda Devine

Listen up, Trumpophobes. It’s not so hard to understand the president’s appeal. Try going to one of his rallies and, instead of turning up your nose at the Walmart people, listen and learn.

The abuse of President Trump and his supporters that passes for analysis from his opponents is a strategic error.

The more abuse, the more Trump’s base is energized to turn out on Election Day.

At his Thursday-night rally to launch his 2020 New Hampshire campaign, he broke Elton John’s all-time attendance record with a crowd of 11,500 inside the Southern New Hampshire University Arena. It wasn’t just a Trumpian boast but a number confirmed to reporters by the Manchester deputy fire marshal. An overflow crowd of 8,000 people watched outside on a giant screen.

They’re not going to know what hit them.

Just like 2016, election night will produce some epic compilations to savor through 2021.

Well, I hope all those people and their relatives and friends show up at the polls on November 3, 2020.

So here’s one thing I don’t get. Trump draws thousands. His opponent will draw several hundred, maybe a little over 1,000. Yet on election day, the raise will end up being 51-49%. Is there THAT much voter fraud? It’s pretty obvious.

We sure did last time.

And there are more of us now.

We didn't choose our enemies -- they decided to make us their enemies. That will prove to be their last mistake.

Great attendance at Trump events is certainly great but we must be aware that the level of Dem cheating will be at an all-time high next time around.

Simple - Trump doesn’t call Americans racists, and he doesn’t promise to steal their money for more government social engineering.

I’m sure some is voter fraud, but it’s likely happening in states which are already going to an opponent, like California. Some of it is that liberals show their support in the streets, not in establishment rallies. To me, that explains this explosion of Antifa and similar movements, while Trump generates huge fervor at rallies.

Also, with so many candidates for 2020, whose rally do you attend? It’s a huge split.

With the last election, all of the excitement was around Bernie, who “lost” support from party officials and was replaced with Hillary, who was despised even by other party members. The few who were supporting her were radical feminists of the worst kind and old-school democrats who hoped for more Bill or Obama.

Where else are they going to go where they will not be slandered, rejected, and possibly assaulted. (Well, they may be assaulted, but not by Trump and his people.)

Democrats just hop on the big Dem bus, take the cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, money or whatever is being offered, and vote each time the bus stops at a polling place over and over and over again. The Democrat poll workers sit in the back room and fill out absentee ballots on election day and set them aside in case a vote is close -— then they “find” the ballots with just enough votes to put the Dem over the top. They’ve been doing this for so many decades that they have it down pat now. They don’t need people to attend rallies, they don’t even need people to vote, really -— all they need in the end is ballots marked the way they want them. The biggest cheat wins!!!

Because telling the truth is abuse. When if fact is a battle against the massive abuse from the left.

The difference is simple. With Democraps they see their evil as good and our good as their evil.
With Trump, he exposes the left as hypocritical liars and buffoons. Which one convinces more people?

In California last mid terms, the voter has 2 choices for US Senate - both Rat. How is that not disenfranchisement?
