What's more stunning is that those Trump supporters have to figure out how to get away from work to go to the rallies.

Of course, Hillary's supporters have to figure out how to get away from the cemetery to get to the rallies. That's much harder and explains why attendance at Hillary's events is so much lower.

“WHY AREN’T I FIFTY POINTS AHEAD?” ~ Shrieked, ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named’

HINT: Nobody actually LIKES you, Hillary! They’re either sycophants, they’re afraid of you or they want to stay alive because you have the goods on them!

TRUMP has the enthusiasm. From rally crowds to ALL of Social Media, all of the enthusiasm is for TRUMP.

But, looking at the polls, all I can see is Trump trailing Hillary by BIG numbers. Not just a few polls, but in most. When I look at the Media, same thing.

Something is not jiving here. And I’m reminded how the polls told us that Hillary was going to win Michigan by 12, she lost to Bernie by two.

No way she is leading in the polls. They would show up to her rallies.

Big rallies are great, but even at ~600,000 total attendance, that’s only .5% of voters. So 99.5% of voters haven’t been to a rally, and only have seen the news coverage which is viciously slanted against Trump. So not sure these rallies are as effective as they might seem.

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

That's encouraging, but Hillary's main constituency, the dead, rarely attend rallies.

She’d have twice the # of supporters as Trump but they can’t leave their cemetery for a ralley. Not allowed out except to vote.

A humble 60 second remembrance of the NEEDLESS tragedy in Benghazi and how it SHOULD impact the coming November election! 4 American heroes died as Obama and Hillary made a mockery of the traditional and sacred military motto of “NO MAN LEFT BEHIND”.
DO WE CARE? DO WE EVEN REMEMBER??

Conventions are supposed to be a launch pad.

Clinton failed to launch.

The Convention was her high point.

He’ll need at least 100,000,000 vote to counter the massive FRaud the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist bastards are ginning up!

It is up to us to see that he gets them!

She has a crap product.

Trump’s product promises to produce real results his customers (voters) want.

When Donald Trump onto stage tonight, he paused and sized up the crowd standing before him, many of whom were waving signs into the air emblazoned with his last name.

“Look at this crowd!” Mr. Trump said.

Throughout the course of a 41-minute speech, Mr. Trump essentially asked voters to take a leap of faith on his candidacy. “There are easier choices to make in this election,” he said.

Bathed in the glow of floodlights, Mr. Trump addressed thousands of people who stood shoulder-to-shoulder, stretching from one side of the park to the other.

“There are those in this race for the presidency who are touting their experience working the system, but the problem is that the system isn’t working for us,” Mr. Trump said. “There are those who are saying you should be looking for someone who can play the game better, but the problem is that the game has been rigged. The time is too serious the stakes are too high to play the same game over and over again.”

In February, Mr. Trump drew 20,000 people to the Town Lake in Austin, Texas. In March, 10,000 people crowded into a plaza outside City Hall in Oakland, Calif. In April, he attracted 20,000 at an outdoor rally at Yellow Jacket Park in Atlanta.

And tonight, he drew what the campaign said was 24,000 people. That number was impossible to verify – unlike the other locales, where police provided a crowd count – but the audience clearly was one of the largest of the year.

=======================================================

OK, I cheated. The story above is about Obama from a 2008 story with the name and some other details changed.

Remember when populism meant populism and the press didn't ignore it? When enthusiasm was a guarantee of a good result on election day? When turnout at rallies equated to turnout at the ballot box?

All these were articles of faith when long lines, parking chaos and early arrivals heralded Barack Obama - along, of course, with a fawning press transfixed by their Apex Token.

Suddenly, the standards have changed, words have lost their meaning, cause-and-effect are no longer in effect and the goalposts have been moved.

If you believe the media, that is.

Recall Bernie’s rallies compared to Hillary’s. Same thing. His were many times better attended than hers and what was the outcome?

Also, Trump’s rallies are attended by politically astute people. Folks that actually care about the state of the Country.
Hillary’s primary constituents are uninformed, apolitical, freeloading deadheads. Many millions of them.
No need to go to a rally, they know who is going to hang out the government teat.

In the 1960 World Series, the Yankees outscored the Pirates 55 to 27

The Pirates won the series 4 games to 3.

Focus on the right metric.
