NOW you bring this up!!
“I don’t know anyone who voted for Nixon”
Yeah. Seemed like RR did those to create the optics of a big movement. Trying to lure others to join in like 2008 for Obama. Didn’t work, unfortunately. While we were all in big events. There were 20000 obamaites getting votes out. Lesson learned.
McGovern drew massive crowds in 72’......we all know how that turned out.
Nader packed arena’s in 2000........yet all he could amount to was perhaps a spoiler.
The size of crowds can arguably be a measure of intensity, but not overall popularity. Ron Paul can attract very big, wildly enthusiastic crowds, but he is a fringe candidate who will never be president.
Back then they also didn’t have e machines that voted for mondale when you actually tried to vote for Reagan.
Now the Democrat party embraces those who follow radical preachers for 20 years who command God to damn AmeriKKKa.
Far fewer Obama signs, bumper stickers, attendance at rallies, that was ginning us all up. I am convinced that Obama supporters were ashamed to admit they were voting for him. Who wants to sit at a traffic light announcing to the world that you love government handouts, killing unborn babies, that you think with your lady parts, and your guy is responsible for the death of four Americans?
