I know it’s fun to mock the fact that no one wants to turn out to hear Hillary Clinton speak, but crowd size is hardly indicative of anything. Just look at Bernie Sanders earlier this year, or Ron Paul in 2008/2012.

Or my favorite: When Mondale-Ferraro drew a six-figure crowd in October 1984, then lost 49 states like two weeks later.

Bernie Sanders, at best drew 5,000

Mostly college campuses

Nothing BIG like Trump, heck at most of his they would accidently showed the empty parts of Bernie’s rallies

not impressive

Ron Paul, same as Bernie, college campuses, legalize pot platform. anti war, sure was going to fill college venues easily.

These were not organic support, they were planned precisely where Bernie’s and Paul’s support were, college campuses, which are a poor and unreliable voting block. Bernie did do better then Paul, but Bernie only had one opponent, Paul has was 7 or 8 each time?

Trump rallies are nothing like those two, Trump posts the event and people come from all over to see him, if they can’t get in, they listen to him on PA speakers outside. That wasn’t going on at Paul or Bernie rallies because they still had available seating inside.

Neither Sanders nor Paul ever got the crowd sizes that trump repeatedly gets and has gotten since he began this run.

Mondale did NOT get these crowds either, except for a few at the end and those were in DEM states. And Reagan was going for his second term as an EXTREMELY popular president.

This is all so much apples & oranges crap!

yes, Obama got huge crowds, though NOT always, but he also had bands as opening acts ( Trump doesn't need nor have an "opening act"; not ever! ) and then there was all of the stupid hype about his skin color and being THE FIRST; the first actual TRAITOR, but nobody said that.

Trump has been doing multiple rallies a week, for seventeen months, and they’ve all been heavily attended. He has also now broken records for number of primary votes and donations from individuals.

He has proven to be the hardest working, hardest fighting candidate in living memory, and has re-written the political campaigning playbook.

Brushing off his huge and sustained rally attendance numbers (as you just did) casts a pall of suspicion over your status as a newbie here.

Bernie would be the nominee if not for Hillary and DNC heating.
