I firmly believe the reason No Name decided to trash Our Sarah was because he was jealous of her. He knew that most of us were voting for her and hoping he’d stroke out. We liked her more than him. Yes, he was that petty. I just keep calling him pissy (maybe if you guys weren’t always talking about watering his grave...which I find hilarous!)
I clearly remember going to a McCain rally in Tampa on the Monday morning before the 2008 election that would occur the next day.
Not being an avid McCain supporter I went late with the expectation if the rally was full I would go home.
In reality when I arrived 20 minutes before the rally was to begin there were no other supporters. In fact it was so lacking of supporters that they had me stand directly behind McCain and Lieberman and be part of the cheering section.
As Obama would later say: “It was a teachable moment.”
Fast forward to yesterday and when I read that Adam Putnam held a breakfast rally at a very small Bradenton FL restaurant holding 50 people one week before yesterday’s FL primary, I knew that Ron DeSantis was going to be a huge winner.
Similarly, I sent an email to my friends in September 2016 saying that Trump was going to be the winner because he would draw thousands of people to his rallies while Hillary felt good if she got a hundred to her rallies.
Ignore the polls has been my game plan. Pay attention to the rallies. Is a candidate drawing hundreds or is the candidate drawing thousands? The answer is who will be the winner.
I think you've nailed it.
I remember the crowds at Sarah's rallies and then the ones at whatshisame's rallies. Almost like what we saw with Trump and shillary.
whatshisname realized this and began to campaign with Sarah....you could see the frustration in his face knowing the crowds were there for her.....not him.
