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.
I don’t think RR did those big events cynically to drive optics, there was some legitimate excitement building. But as the article points out, it isn’t indicative any large scale movement.

Old style campaigning is nostalgic but we need to reach out to millions, not thousands.
