President Trump spoke to the hearts of millions of MAGA voters and red-blooded American conservatives on Monday night, hinting that his trademark campaign rallies would soon be back in action. “We’re going to be starting the rallies,” he told an audience gathered at Club 47 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
He poked fun at the mainstream media, noting that they had accused him of “not campaigning” for president since November 2024, even though the presidential election is nearly two years away.
He held massive rallies across the country in places like Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Nevada, and Arizona ahead of both the primary and general elections.
Although it is early in the GOP presidential primary race, President Trump has steadily maintained a sizable lead.
According to data from Big Village, Trump is holding 50 percent of Republican support for the Republican presidential primary nomination, while possible political rival, Governor Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., only snagged 24 percent.
The lengths of which some will go...
Yeah.
Your TDS forces you to think Trump’s at fault, all the while giving the benefit of the doubt, to career politicians and Pfascist’s death cult of science and medicine..
You wear your TDS well..
Enjoy the campaign season!
Get your voice ready to scream at the sky..
No, because I understand something about statistics and appearances. It’s nice to see, but ultimately meaningless except to say, “this guy has some real Jim Jones sycophants” ( ;-) ). There are other people outside that who will vote for him anyway, and others who will not. None of those rallies represents even half of the state or region they’re supposed to cater to. Ipso facto, doesn’t mean winning the race.
Basically, yes.
Obviously it was OK even for Biden, at general level.
(Though seriously, I think Biden’s events weren’t meant to be “rallies” but just visits and speeches - I think they wanted to virtue-signal that they were “safe” with COVID personal-spacing and such [recall the circles and spaced-out chairs].)
It might mean something more in the primaries - but even then, if your guy wins, it does NOT mean the “crowds” predicted it. False conclusion.
What are you asking?
Thinking I left you?
Or what I did for an event?
TDS has 2 types.
Type I is what you constantly harangue about - rabid hatred of Trump - by LEFTISTS. I have yet to find a conservative of ANY level who absolutely “hates” him. We just don’t all like him that much or think he’s some god.
Type II is those who think he’s a god and the greatest thing ever, and will never, ever say anything critical of him. And anyone who does, is a bastard disloyal traitor who is a closet commie Dem. There are many Type IIs on FR.
Basically, yes.
It means many things which are clearly evident or should be obvious. Can you name any?
Big Daddy, You like DeSantis. I have not made an unkind remark about DeSantis. I like Trump this term.. You have downed him with insults. He is the elder and he knows what he is doing. Ho don’t like him.. can you please cut the unnecessary remarks.
You folks like to point out every and any small thing you can say to downgrade Trump.. you say he does it...YOU are doing it.
For all your complaints.. he did a bang up job when he was President. Don’t pick on the nitties.
I explained how it means squat. Multiple times.
What you see is not necessarily what you get.
E.g., those big rallies did not translate into “landslides”, either of them.
You want landslide - see Reagan.
Btw, lets not stray, no one here claimed rallies would guarantee landslides or fraud free elections, did they?
But for starters, I can certainly think of a few extremely important things these rallies mean.
They mean massive Trump rallies are historic and not been seen modern American history. They mean trump has a fused bond with tens of millions of supporters and you'd have to dial back to the founders to see this type of relationship between a leader and the people.
In addition, with these rallies Trump very publicly used them as a platform and exposed wide spread corruption in government and named names/agencies. He traveled to many states and cities with the message/warning. Many venues repeatedly because hundreds of thousands couldn't get in the first time.
Thanks in part to many dozens of Trump rallies, we now know those in the highest levels of government attempted to criminally undermine, compromise and overthrow his presidency. No? Since the media didn't report of lot of this, the Trump rallies and live streams did. In case you missed it, Trump was being illegally censored by the media.
Exposing this level of corruption is historic and critical for Americans to understand the extent these people will go to silence and get rid of Trump.
So I certainly would not suggest these rallies are trivial or say as you did, "Trump rallies mean squat".
