Look at the discrepancy in the number of attendees at their respective rallies. The polls should be reflecting that. These polls are meant to...

I have to disagree, respectfully, if you look at recent history.

I do agree that Trump is drawing much bigger crowds. That is better than small crowds and DOES indicate enthusiastic support among those who DO support him. So it is a positive, but not necessarily an indicator of greater support than Hitlery.

Let me just remind you of three recent examples:

1. 2004: Screamin' Howard Dean the lunatic from (ahem) Vermont...drew massive crowds. But John Kerry prevailed.

2. 2012: The waning days of the general election, Mitt Romney had very good size crowds--rivaling or beating those of the man child ward of Valerie Jarrett. Everyone, even Mitt, expected a victory.

3. 2016: another cranky old guy from Vermont had yuuuuuge crowds of enthusiastic folk. And yet, the machine of Hitlery was organized and destroyed him. Now, the old man is Berning a doobie in a new $600,000 house while his supporters are left holding the bag.

I do not say this to discourage, but to be real.

I pray, give, try to persuade in a winsome manner, and intend to vote for Trump. This may be our last chance to destroy statism.

But we can't assume victory. The monsters of big government in both parties are against us.

You raise a very good point, but you also have to keep in mind that the incidents of large crowds were pretty much near the end of the campaigns, when people had been whipped up to the max after a long stretch. It is indeed pretty common for losing campaigns.
However the “Trump factor” kinda upends the norm (as he tends to do) in that he’s always gotten big crowds from the getgo.
But if large crowds = large vote is a whole ‘nother question, of course.

as to your item #3, the primary was stolen from Bernie. he was the real victor on the RAT side. we could realistically assume that something similar mightve happened with items #1 and 2. the nwo was putting in the globalist candidates they wanted. but this time theyre not getting away with it. this couldve happened a long time ago if any of those Establishment candidates wouldve stood up the way Teump is. But they never did....
