Jus because I'm a glutton for punishment, I went back through old FR Archives. Was curious to see how Romney's public events were perceived.

Answer? Much like Trump's. Maybe not as numerous as Trump, but there were plenty of FR articles detailing how "Attendance at Romney Rallies is absolutely DESTROYING Obama's...."

We see how that turned out.

If this makes me a concern troll, so be it. But, I'm trying to stay out of the echo chamber, since I bought into it hook, line and sinker in 2012. No way BO was going to beat Romney, I thought. Right?

of course the reality is that attendance at rallies doesn't mean a thing, unless you're a rat...then of course, their rallies will be the lead story on all of the SCM....

I believe most elections are ripe with fraud..

the SCM wants the impression that the Witch's lead is so massive that of course she's going to win...

they want to disenfranchise most of us out of despair...

Don't fall for it...

like Rush says, and I agree, they can fix close elections but if you have a 5% or more lead, that can not be easily fixed...

so vote...to not vote is to vote, so vote everyone...get all your kids and your grannies and your church mates and your beer drinking buddies to vote Trump...and Trump would win..

Yeah don’t believe your lying eyes and listen to the State run media.

Yep and there were 8 million more votes in 2012 than 2008 when Obama had large Rallies like Trump now vs. McCain.

Yet when Romney lost in 2012 the media said McCain in 2008 was more popular than Romney in 2012 even though there were 8 million more votes compared to 2008 when Obam was like the second coming according to the media.

Did you forget too Obama had to downsize his venue at the Carolina Panthers and then Chalotte Motor Speedway because he could not fill it.

How can you say that was not stollen? Oh I know because the GOPe (aka Democrat Operatives) said it was legit.

There were event counties in Ohio and Illinois where Obama were 100% of the vote went to Obama. Event counties where there was 600 plus voters and Obama would win with 900 plus votes.

Oh yeah no fraud what so ever.

Please post links to those threads. I do not remember Romney’s rallies getting a lot of people in the summer of 2012. In fact, I don’t think there were many pre-Labor Day rallies period.

But Romney was a gigantic wuss about not attacking Obozo’s many weak points. That is an enormous difference between 2012 and 2016.

OK, I decided to bite. I pulled up a Mitt Romney rally from exactly four years ago in Ohio. link here.

Compare the noise and enthusiasm to any recent Trump rally.
