Donald Trump speaking in Springfield, Illinois, November 9th, 2015.
Business Insider is following Donald Trump on the campaign trail this week.
Last night, Trump spoke at a rally in Springfield, Illinois. More than 10,000 people attended. It was standing-room-only, floor to rafters. According to the Trump campaign, Trump's attendance shattered a record set by Elton John 37 years ago.
In the view of this Business Insider reporter, many political pundits do not yet appreciate how compelling a speaker Trump is. They also do not yet appreciate how much passion and energy he can inspire. Trump's can-do reputation and the public's disgust with normal politicians and politics as usual are fueling a startling degree of fervor in his supporters.
In short, this Business Insider reporter believes that Trump's potential as a candidate is still being underestimated.
Springfield is where Abraham Lincoln is from. President Obama launched his own campaign from there as well.

His friend ...... Elton John.
Ted Cruz is a good man. He’ll make a great VP. Then President.
Unless he tries to push a VAT on President Trump ! :-)
“Ted Cruz is a good man. He’ll make a great VP. Then President.”
That is the way I see it. Go Trump/Cruz
What I do see is a Trump/Cruz ticket.
Ted Cruz has already said in public that he is not available for VP.
He will be the GOP candidate, but Trump remains a big question. If he goes Turd party Hildabeast wins.
Holy Chihuahua that is more people than attend all other candidates crowds COMBINED!
Ted Cruz has close association with the Bushes.
He worked on George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign as a domestic policy adviser and served in the Bush administration as associate deputy attorney general in the Justice Department and director of policy planning in the Federal Trade Commission.
My mom would have hit me on the head with a hammer if it would have inspired me to write and sell as many books as Carson.
You continue to bean idiot!
The Bushes hate Cruz above all other things.
Cruz is the sole antithesis of establishment governance.
.
Cruz is 44 years old and he has unlimited potential to change this country for the better. I would much rather have Trump win now and have Cruz continue to develop for the future. If elected now, Cruz would make a great president. If elected 8 years from now, Cruz would be a spectacular president and perhaps our best ever.
I’m 52 and I’m way better now then I was at 44 and I feel I’m at the peak of my career. Cruz could really benefit from an additional 8 years of development.
I would love it if Ted gained traction...but Trump ain't gonna give up the mic and Ted is still gonna be building his brand.
Don't for a moment think that Ted wouldn't get on the Trump train if that's what it takes to win the WH.
It will be Trump/Cruz.
And eventually, it will be Cruz/Wherever.
This phenomenon has a name: the Bradly effect
Calling me idiot will not change FACTS.
Do a Google search and you will know first hand about Cruz association with the Bushes.
Mine too...
That could very well be part of it.
You're just getting started. Hang in there, you are in the winning years.
All the earlier ones were just fodder for what you will experience in the near and distant future.
I unfortunately retired at 40. I was at my prime...a senior investment banker on Wall St.
But the crash of '87 and a crisis of conscience ended my career.
That said, it is what it is.
Hang tough til the finish line. You'll know it when you see it.
Best of luck and may God speed!
That’s my fervent hope...
