Stunning Numbers: Trump Leads Hillary in Rally Attendance by Half a Million People Since August

This was a joke but there is more truth to it than anyone there may have known. Since the party conventions in July (from August 1st through Saturday, October 22, 2016) Hillary has participated in only 34 campaign rallies to Trump’s 87. Of Hillary’s 34 campaign rallies where she was present, only a dozen of these events had crowd estimated at over 1,000 people.

Donald Trump on the other hand held 87 events in the same time period of which only 7 had crowds estimated at less than 1,000. Most, if not all, of these small crowds for Trump were special campaign events where he gave speeches on foreign policy, childcare, or his recent Gettysburg address, for example. Trump has held 80 events with crowds more than 1,000 in this same time period with 16 of these events with crowds 10,000 or greater.

Trump averages more than 6,000 at his events while Hillary averages less than 1,000. Because Trump has many more events than Hillary, he averages getting in front of more than 6,700 per day compared to Hillary’s 380 per day in this time period. Because Trump has worked much harder he has 53 more events than Hillary, which has resulted in Trump having more than a half a million (530,000) more participants at his events than Hillary.

Hillary has taken 57 days off without participating in campaign rallies since July. She is either sick or her campaign thinks she’ll do better if she doesn’t get in front of people or her campaign doesn’t want to show the abysmal lack of interest in her and her events.

I’m afraid not. No one, including Romney ever had this level of consistent, massive rallies like Trump, which went on day in, day out.

[dragnet2]

Hey Mr. Shoop, did ya add in the tens of hundreds of thousands who couldn’t attend his rallies, who watched Trumps rallies on the Internet in real time on a daily and weekly basis?

[dragnet2]

Romney was a D.C. hack who’s rallies didn’t come even close to Trumps.

In fact Trumps welded bond with tens of millions of his supporters is historic and has not been seen in modern America. You’d have to dial back to the founders to see this type of relationship between a leader and the people.

[Gargantua]

You make me well up with pride. Fierce, defiant pride.

[dragnet2]

Pride in our country has become as rare as public pay phones thanks to many years of corrupt loser leadership. The globalist elite wanted to stomp out nationalism, independence and patriotism. The wanted to divide the united with their reckless chain immigration and open violent borders.

Lets hope America gets it right this time.

[Wayne07]

Sure, add the “tens of hundreds of thousands” to the list, but that still a small fraction of 120 million, which is roughly the number of voters in 2012.

[dragnet2]

Oh, the 120 million were probably the ones who couldn’t get into Trumps at capacity rallies. They just don’t make arenas big enough to fit half the country.

[VA is for Freepers]

Think of those numbers and then look at next poll sample. Statistics are amazing. They poll 850 people to represent 200 million. Sure they do demographic analysis to “correctly” weigh the sample but...

“Real life” poll: Trump will be in town tomorrow. What will you do?

1. Do nothing, don’t care (probably Hillary)
2. Protest his visit (Bernie convert to Hillary)
3. I would like to go but don’t like large crowds/lines (50/50 Hillary or Trump)
4. I will go by an hour before and see if I can get a seat (Trump voter)
5. I will get off work and wait all day (definite Trump voter)

So what is the breakdown in your area, key swing counties?

Next Poll question: Hillary will be in town tomorrow. What will you do? Ah, nevermind

[Wayne07]

Here is the problem, you can get 2% of the population highly energized for a candidate, and that is enough to pack events in 50 states. Think of the Ron Paul crowd. Trump obviously has much more support than that, but you can't look at a packed Rally and infer much broader support.

For example, Bernie Sanders had much higher enthusiasm on the dem side, bigger rallies, more intense support, but the tepid Clinton supporters outnumbered the enthusiastic Sanders supporters. If rallies and enthusiasm predicted the winner, Sanders would have won the primary.
