I think President Trump will win, but at the same time I think we need to be careful not to rely too much on what we want to see.

Campaign rallies are great, but the largest such rally would be between 30,000-40,000 people. Definitely a huge indication of enthusiasm, but also just that - an indication. It is likely that this may be a close election - yes, on our side people are excited for President Trump and the Libs are not excited about Biden. The Libs are definitely NOt motivated by Biden, which may be why they are not going for his rallies (plus fear of COVID). However, while they may not be excited about Biden, they are absolutely seething in hatred for President Trump. That is their real ‘motivation’ and it may - may - result in them voting for him even though they may not necessarily fill a stadium for him?

Possible proof of this - most of Biden’s contributions are actually not from ‘big money wallstreet, Hollywood, far left billionaires’ etc. The average contribution (according to them; which may be a lie, but this is what they claim) is $44. If that is true, that means there are a number of people contributing money who may not necessarily be going for ‘rallies.’

The only way Republicans win is by voting as if President Trump is behind. Vote the same way they voted in 2016 when every poll was claiming Hillary would win. Vote as the silent majority - because we don’t want that to be turned against us. Sure, we KNOW President Trump is ahead - so it doesn’t hurt to go out and vote like he’s behind. Also, we all need to know it’s not about the POTUS only - the Senate is also up for grabs. BOTH have to be maintained on our side to make a difference (I don’t think it’s possible to recapture the House, but we need to keep the Senate and the Presidency).

Because I can assure you of one thing - in November there will be a political party that will be absolutely devastated. Let’s make sure it’s not the GOP.

Now, I fully expect some will try and shoot the messenger, but who cares. What matters is that people vote like their lives depend on it, because I know that on the Left they really have a lot of hatred for us on the Right and that hatred doesn’t need to attend rallies. I

You don't seem to get it.
The election is not won by the national popular vote. Its won by winning at the county and state level and collecting electoral votes.
Between Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, Trump won by just 140,000 votes in 2016.
Trump is now doing 3 rallies a day at carefully chosen locations in vital swing states in counties that he needs to increase his winning margin at or catch up in.
That is what is going to win the elections. It's not the 3 to 4 million winning margin by the Dems in California. That doesn't really count for much.
Biden’s mass blanketing of the air waves with repetitive lies is not going to do it. People tune off after a while.
Just a couple of massive Trump rallies negates all that. Trump has got more enthusiasm going for him than any Presidential candidate I can remember. Biden on the other hand can't get a rise out of anybody. He is a "hold your nose and vote for him if you have to" kind of guy. .
Nobody ever won the presidency by hiding in the basement with people only voting for him, not because they want him, but because they hate the other guy.
