Well he is a “persistently unpopular candidate”. Uh, okee dokee.

I guess he's just popular with me. Well, I always was special.

Don’t know if you saw this earlier:

Trump ramps up rally strategy that may come with more risk than reward
NBC “News” / Comcast ^ | October 19, 2020 | By Shannon Pettypiece

In President Donald Trump’s favored narrative of how elections are won and lost, the candidate who holds the most events with the biggest crowds wins.

“Every RALLY is BOFFO,” he said in a Monday tweet about his confidence of winning re-election, telling campaign staffers on a call the same day that he was now more confident of winning than he was two weeks ago, when he appeared at no campaign events while recovering from Covid-19.

Now, with two weeks to go, he heads into the final stretch of the race relying heavily on his rallies to change the dynamic of the contest - a risky strategy for a persistently unpopular candidate, and one that has failed to demonstrate success in moving voters into his column.

In fact, there are no objective indications that Trump’s rallies have any relation to boosting his support, with some suggestion they are just as likely to energize his opponents’ supporters as they are his own.

That where the “unpopular” thing came from. D-NILE!
