The authors says it is the MOST deceptive sign in politics, large crowds. Really? Apparently the left knows something everyone else doesn't know, someone is going to do something to make sure the actual votes don't count. Hillary is going to cheat to win this election...somehow.

Small crowds.
Few lawn signs.
No press conferences.
Tainted polls show a tie (at best)

Trump has barely started his ads.
The debates still lie ahead.
More wikileaks are coming.
Her health isn’t getting any better.

Yeah, I’d say Hillary has this one all sewn up!

Anybody with knowledge of Obama Crowds vs McCain Crowds vs Romney Crowds should post what they know.

We may be kidding ourselves.
We may be dead right.

It would be nice to know.

In(corrupt, fraudulent)Presidential elections, your vote doesn’t always matter.

Trump is taller. Historically the tallest candidate wins

In Presidential elections, size doesn't always matter

Well, duh...

With the combination of a rigged system, the IRS and other fedgov departments routinely breaking the law, and wholesale ballot-box stuffing by big-city Democrat political machines, of course it doesn't matter...

“That is not stopping Trump however-just as it did not stop Sanders supporters who saw his crowds of 20,000 and up in the primary race to argue that a tsunami of enthusiasm for the Vermont senator could overcome Clinton.”

One key factor is that the dems had super-delegates who could vote anyway they pleased despite the primary results. If the dems did not have super-delegates, the outcome would have likely been different.

In fact, extrapolating electoral prospects from the size of rally crowds is often a misleading metric -- for evidence, look no further than the campaigns of Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, John Kerry and Mitt Romney. Bernie Sanders thrilled thousands of people in mega-rallies over the past year and a half as well.

There were a few big crowds for Bernie. But I don't remember big enthusiastic crowds for any of the others mentioned here.

Mike Dukakis? John Kerry? Are you kidding me?

Hillary's appeal is becoming more selective.

What really matters is the outcome of the 8+- swing states that will determine who
is elected president. Which states that will be is where the candidate needs
spend time, money and political capital. I’m sure various opinions will be
expressed as which states those will be.

Unfortunately they have a point. Ron Paul, Bernie, and Romney all had big crowds also.

Yep, 20 people in a crowd is a sign of massive grass-roots movement enthusiastic about their candidate/s

Reading this pablum is like living in Orwell’s 1984.

The DNC and hilliary are banking on their MSM propaganda dept.
along with all of the leftist super donors like soros to drag her lame ass across the finish line. Don’t forget a good dose of massive voter fraud to boot.

CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, NPR, and PBS should be billed as “info-tainment” and sued for false represention.

It was pointed out by the guest host on Lou Dobbs last night that Hillary is running a low profile campaign with no open rallies, but only small venues with the press locked out and attending her private donor parties.

This amazing low profile approach has proven to serve her well in the polls. The campaign is well aware that HRC doesn’t play well when put out there aggressively into the public view.

The media regularly takes her attacks for her and keeps her out of the lights.

It is amazing this serves her so well, apparently, if the funky polling means anything.

TRUMP can not draw her out in the open field, where in 2012, she was happy to be seen going toe to toe against Obama.

Seems to me the Left is unenthused about HRC if she actually shows herself and campaigns, but are willing to vote for who they “think” she is, when she stays hidden.

Either HRC knows her victory is already secured by a machine certainty, or she knows by her own internals that she is only propped up, and that will lose, therefore she is simply going through a few campaign motions.

Which is it?

The Clinton News Network is correct; large crowds at rallies means little.

The dead never show up at the rallies yet many vote, and we know that the dead vote solidly Dhimmicrat!

No presidential candidate has ever drawn the crowds or enthusiasm of William Jennings Bryan. He was defeated three times as the Democrat nominee for president.

FR and other amateur political junkies wallow in exaggerated emotions, expectations and claims when it comes to candidates. The vast majority of voters are much more ho-hum, instinctually understanding elites will get their way and the overall culture will trump politics anyway.
